Abstract

From the 1920s onwards, Milan has become a laboratory of architecture due to architects such as Giuseppe Terragni, Gio Ponti and Giuseppe Pagano. Magazines such as Domus and Casabella were founded in the 1920s which influenced international debate throughout the 20th century. A new trend arose following the reconstruction of the city due to damages incurred during World War II: the city is now able to combine modernity with its existing context through the works of BBPR, Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Ignazio Gardella and Franco Albini. These architects introduced the renowned design which is nowadays identifi ed with Milan. In the last decade, an outstanding urban development took place owing to areas which feature the work of internationally renowned architects, including David Chipperfield, Zaha Hadid and Daniel Libeskind, as well as Italian architects such as Cino Zucchi and Stefano Boeri. Owing to its ambitious projects, Milan has transformed from an industrial city to a global capital of culture, fashion and leisure. This guide proposes thematic itineraries for discovering one of the most architecturally exciting European cities.

Abstract

This comprehensive guide to the post-war architecture of Lisbon divides the city into sixteen urban districts, organised into individual chapters with an introductory text and a map displaying the location of each selected project, which in turn are illustrated with photographs and drawings along with relevant data and explanatory text. The year 1948 saw the conclusion of the master plan for the city of Lisbon coordinated by Étienne de Gröer, something that has deeply marked the way in which the municipality has been organised up until the present day. The examples chosen were also considered in response to social and community interests, and avoid limited perspectives.

Abstract

De sporen van het expo- en oorlogsverleden van Gent Waar vind je in Gent een monument voor de Duitse keizer? Waar vind je nog resten van de wereldtentoonstelling? En hoe overleefden de Gentenaren de oorlog in volledig isolement? In 1913 was de hele wereld te gast in Gent. De oude stadskern kreeg een grondige facelift voor de expo, tot en met een nieuwe spits voor het belfort. Het toeristische Gent, zoals het vandaag geprezen wordt in de internationale reisgidsen, dateert van die tijd. De paviljoenen van de wereldtentoonstelling waren nog maar net afgebroken of de Eerste Wereldoorlog brak uit. Het expoterrein werd noodgedwongen een moestuin. Ook toen werd aan toerisme gedacht: de Duitse soldaten hadden voor Gent een reisgids op maat.

Abstract

Colonial Tales, Trails and Traces' takes Brussels' colonial imprints - found in many of its statues, squares, street names, monuments, buildings and institutions - as a starting point to dive into Belgium's colonisation of Congo. Through a critical analysis of the very meaning behind the enduring presence of these colonial markers, Nicholas Lewis demonstrates how Belgium remains a fundamentally racist country, due in no small part to its decades of colonial deceit and denial. Focusing specifically on the communes of Etterbeek, Ixelles and Schaerbeek as well as the areas surrounding the Place Royale and Cinquantenaire, the author challenges the place afforded to colonial-era thieves, torturers, kidnappers, mutilators and murderers in the Brussels public domain, and the manipulated narratives their glorification rests upon. With an entire chapter devoted to Tervuren's controversial AfricaMuseum, as well as perfunctory essays and artistic interventions by seasoned decolonial and anti-racist experts Laura Nsengiyumva, Veronique Clette-Gakuba, Georgine Dibua Mbombo, Frangois Makanga and Anne Wetsi Mpoma, 'Colonial Tales, Trails and Traces' highlights the corrosive impact colonisation continues to have at every layer of contemporary Belgian society.
