The doctoral dissertation ‘Architect/Public servant’ analyses the function of provincial architect in the province of West-Flanders for the period 1807-1914. The provincial architects were important actors for 19th-century Belgian (official) architecture. Through their designs for parish churches, presbyteries and schools they contributed substantially to the transformation and modernisation of rural villages. The research was conceived as a ‘biography of the function’, through which the relations between government, administration, public servants and architecture throughout the 19th century are analysed. At same time, it brings the public architecture in rural villages under the attention. Three lines of approach were defined and are the structuring elements of the PhD. Part I is dealing with the ‘formal’ aspects of the function: a study of the institutional, political and administrative context. A clear understanding of the position in the building process the provincial architect was officially assigned is essential for the interpretation of his daily practice. On the basis of the analysis of administrative processes the practical translation of the job description is studied, together with the meaning of the daily practice of the provincial architect for the implementation of the provincial policy and the real impact of this policy. In the third part of the dissertation the provincial architect is situated within a broader social, cultural and professional context. The task to design public buildings for local authorities was the key element in the job description of the provincial architects to analyse the evolution of the function, their daily practice as well as their position within the broader professional field. The study of the administrative practice and the architectural designs of the provincial architects reveal that their work can be interpreted as a translation of a provincial line of policy. An ambition for a maximal efficiency led to a tendency to standardise and administer public architecture, a process which had important implications for the design process.

Dat wonen in Vlaanderen onbetaalbaar is geworden, lijkt stilaan algemeen aanvaard. De woningprijzen zijn de afgelopen decennia dan ook enorm gestegen en menigeen tast diep in de buidel om de eigen woningdroom te realiseren of een geschikte woning te huren. In antwoord hierop heeft de Vlaamse regering de afgelopen jaren een hoge beleidsprioriteit gegeven aan de ontwikkeling van een ?grond- en pandenbeleid?. Maar is wonen in Vlaanderen werkelijk onbetaalbaar geworden? Op vraag van de Vlaamse overheid heeft het Steunpunt Ruimte en Wonen in het recente verleden meerdere studies aan deze vraag gewijd. De onderzoekers bundelden dit werk nu in een boek dat op een wetenschappelijk verantwoorde manier objectieve gegevens aanbrengt en evoluties schetst en duidt. Het boek maakt duidelijk dat de discussie in Vlaanderen over de betaalbaarheid van het wonen te zeer in termen van alleen maar prijzen wordt gevoerd. Internationaal aanvaarde definities van betaalbaarheid leggen steeds de relatie tussen prijzen en inkomens. Volgt men deze, dan komt men tot andere dan de gebruikelijke conclusies. Vooral valt dan op dat sommige groepen in de samenleving het op de woningmarkt bijzonder hard te verduren hebben. Het recht op betaalbaar wonen is lang niet voor iedereen verzekerd. Het boek betekent dan ook een sterk appel naar het beleid om daartoe de nodige maatregelen te nemen.
