Paperback. Gerald Ledent, Park Books. 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 Trace Royal (King's Street) in Brussels as an example. Running from the Place Royale in the heart of the city to the Eglise 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.

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.…

Gebraucht - Gut - ungelesen,als Mängelexemplar gekennzeichnet, mit leichten Mängeln an Schnitt oder Einband durch Lager- oder Transportschaden,Kanten etwas bestoßen. -Modern urban terraced houses or row houses emerged in Europe from the 17th century onwards. Usually two to three storeys high and with a garden at the back, they formed the traditional urban block. In Brussels, this bourgeois type of housing took on a particularly varied and inspiring form - including the well-known Art Nouveau residences - which composes the DNA of the city to this day. This publication analyses 121 selected examples illustrating the emergence of the terraced house and its further development in other forms of housing. The result is a broad panorama and a history of the architecture and development of the city of Brussels with its particularly heterogenous cityscape.This expanded edition comprises a new chapter by Kristiaan Borret, the city's former 'bouwmeester'. 13 new case studies were added and the content was updated. A project index facilitates quick navigation. With four photo essays by the well-known Belgian photographer Maxime Delvaux All plans have been drawn in standard scales, especially for the publication An atlas of exemplary historical and contemporary housing typologies Substantially expanded edition of the successful typological manual ; Städtische Reihenhäuser entstanden in Europa ab dem 17. Jahrhundert. Im Regelfall zwei- bis dreigeschossig und mit einem Garten auf der Rückseite ausgestattet, bildeten sie den städtischen Block. In Brüssel hat diese bürgerliche Wohnform eine besonders vielgestaltige und bis heute inspirierende Ausformung erfahren. Diese Publikation analysiert diese Typologie, zeigt aber auch ihre Weiterentwicklung in anderen Formen des Wohnungsbaus in insgesamt 121 ausgewählten Beispielen. So entstehen ein breit angelegtes Panorama sowie eine Architektur- und Entstehungsgeschichte der Stadt Brüssel. Die erweiterte Neuausgabe enthält ein Kapitel von Kristiaan Borret, dem ehemaligen 'Bouwmeester' der Stadt. 13 neue Beispiele wurden hinzugefügt und der Inhalt wurde durchweg aktualisiert. Ein Projektregister erlaubt das rasche Auffinden von Gebäuden.
