Paperback. Condition: New. Institutions - the state, the church, the army, the judiciary, the university, the bank, etc.- organise social relations. As social structures, they regulate societies according to various practices, rites and rules of conduct, and guide our actions by delimiting what is possible and thinkable. Institutions' individual scope depends on how the society as a whole understands them. They are in perpetual mutation and thus form complex entities. Architecture plays an essential role in the establishment, identification and perpetuation of this social structure as it formalises value systems in space and represents ideologies in permanent physical structures. Architecture establishes and reveals the way an institution functions through different strategies.Institutions and the City investigates this role of architecture, taking the Tracé Royal (King's Street) in Brussels as an example. Running from the Place Royale in the heart of the city to the Église Royale Sainte-Marie in the Schaerbeek district north of it, it is the place where several of Belgium's national political, legal, religious, financial, and cultural institutions are located. The book explores the stratagems put in place over time by the various institutions to inscribe themselves durably on the country's social order, and reveals similar spatial responses and surprisingly common mutation processes. And it highlights the importance of architecture when it comes to inventing new relationships with institutional spaces in order to live together better in a time when social, political and cultural reference points are being blurred.Text in English, French and Dutch.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Institutions such as the state, church, army, judiciary, bank, university-or even marriage-organize our social relations. As inherently social structures, they regulate societies according to various practices, rites, and rules of conduct, and guide our actions by delimiting what is possible and thinkable. An institution's individual scope depends on society's understanding of it. They are in perpetual mutation and thus form complex entities. Architecture plays an essential role in the establishment, identification, and perpetuation of this social structure as it formalizes value systems in space and represents ideologies in permanent physical structures. Institutions & the City investigates how architecture establishes and reveals the way an institution functions through different strategies, taking the Tracé Royal (the royal route) in Brussels as an example of an urban figure. This succession of emblematic streets, extending from the Palace of Justice in the heart of the city to the Church of Our Lady and the Royal Domain in Laeken, is home to several of Belgium's national political, legal, religious, financial, and cultural institutions. The book explores the strategies applied over time by the various institutions to leave a lasting inscription on the country's social order, revealing similar spatial responses and surprisingly prevalent mutation processes. And it highlights the importance of architecture in inventing new relationships with institutional spaces in order to improve the way we live together in a time when social, political, and cultural reference points are being blurred.; Institutionen - Staat, Kirche, Armee, Justiz, Universität, Bank usw., aber auch die Ehe - organisieren unsere sozialen Beziehungen und regulieren Gesellschaften. Sie leiten unser Handeln durch Abgrenzung dessen, was möglich und denkbar ist. Ihr Spielraum hängt dabei vom sich stetig wandelnden gesellschaftlichen Verständnis der Institutionen ab. Eine wesentliche Rolle bei ihrer Etablierung und Aufrechterhaltung spielt die Architektur, indem sie diese Wertesysteme räumlich formalisiert und Ideologien permanente physische Gestalt verleiht. Institutions and the City untersucht diese Rolle der Architektur am Beispiel des Tracé Royal (Königsweg) in Brüssel. Diese Abfolge emblematischer Strassen führt von der Place Royale im Herzen der Stadt bis zur Église Notre-Dame und der königlichen Domäne im Stadtteil Laeken. Mehrere der nationalen politischen, juristischen, religiösen, finanziellen und kulturellen Institutionen Belgiens haben hier ihr Domizil. Das englischsprachige Buch veranschaulicht, mit welchen Strategien diese sich in die soziale Ordnung des Landes eingeschrieben haben. Es zeigt dabei vergleichbare räumliche Reaktionen und überraschend ähnliche Veränderungsprozesse auf. Und es verdeutlicht die Bedeutung von Architektur in der Schaffung neuer Beziehungen zu öffentlichen Institutionen in einer Zeit, in der soziale, politische und kulturelle Bezugspunkte verschwinden.…
