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. ER -
