This books unfolds the design and realisation process of Verbiest, an architect's house and an artist's workshop in Molenbeek (Belgium) by Brussels- based architecture office AgwA with Maria Evelia Macal Guerra. A set of unpublished work documents including sketches, scale models, plans, and pictures is combined with a set of texts by AgwA's partner Harold Fallon. The theoretical position of a project at the heart of a practice can be sensed in these writings. Beyond the singularity of this remarkable project, the book demonstrates the critical relevance of construction, energy, and circularity in architecture theory and discourse. The book is supported by the KU Leuven Department of Architecture and has been double blind peer reviewed.

Brussels housing is extremely diverse, as anyone walking around the city will readily appreciate. Its traditional urban block consists of single-family terraced houses, usually two to three storeys high and with a garden at the rear. Here, this bourgeois housing type evolved into a particularly broad range - including the well-known Art Nouveau residences - and still forms the "DNA" of the city. Today, many other housing forms have emerged there; thus, Brussels' residential building types comprise narrow gabled-roofed houses standing side by side with modernist appartment buildings, 19th-century mansions, and brand new condominiums.This typical Belgian layering of housing solutions makes for a visually poetic chaos, creating at times a surreal scenery but also providing answers for the challenges of housing design. The three chapters of this publication explore Brussels' housing typologies from the origins to the present day. More than 100 selected case studies are documented with scaled drawings and photographs. The works by photographer Maxime Delvaux trace a promenade comprising an expressive journey through the Belgian capital and its varied cityscapes. The book offers a broad panorama and a history of the architecture and urban development of Brussels.
