"Virtuous situations from the industrial past and some ideas for the 'climatic metropolis' to come (the cases of Brussels and Paris)" compiles examples and projections that question the shape given to the city and territory at a moment of paradigm shift. The rapid evolution of climate change is leading to a clear state of emergency that is going to redefine the values and forms of our society and its territories. Several signs of a gradual paradigm shift have appeared and citizen voices are being raised against a social model that is at odds with the environment. Looking towards the past, a fascinated reading of a city's ability to transform itself radically when necessary, is proposed. The change, generated by the race towards industrialization and social emancipation, forced metropolises such as Brussels and Paris to develop new urban functions and logics. This evolution took shape in territories that were not yet highly urbanized, but also within the city itself, in negotiation with the existing context. A series of 23 situations from the industrial age draws a panorama of virtuous examples, illustrating an assumed cohabitation between the urban fabric and the infrastructural, productive and energy needs at a precise moment of radical change in Paris and Brussels. The development of the "climatic metropolis" must imperatively be based on design values and principles capable of generating a common vision. In this perspective, we propose some ideas for reflection formalized by projects tied to the built stories from the past, outlining potential situations of a new state to come for the European city--From the introduction.

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.

Parcours d’architectes est une collection d’ouvrages d’architecture traitant de façon monographique de l'œuvre d’architectes ayant marqué le paysage bâti de Bruxelles après la Première Guerre mondiale. La collection s’attache au parcours d’architectes dont le travail est moins connu du grand public mais qui gagnerait à l’être tant il intègre une relation intime avec la ville. Chaque volume met en lumière un parcours singulier, au sens propre comme au sens figuré, dévoilant le patrimoine bâti autant que les facettes mal connues et peu étudiées de l’histoire urbanistique de la capitale. Le premier volume de la série propose de suivre l’itinéraire de Stanislas Jasinski (1901–1978), des années 1920 à 1970. Il est l’auteur de très nombreux projets, réalisés pour l’essentiel en Région bruxelloise. Son travail consiste en une réinterprétation du thème de l’immeuble à appartements en tant que typologie de l’évolution de la ville. La majorité de sa production est conservée et reste visible dans l’espace public. Outre sa production architecturale, Jasinski nous a laissé de nombreux articles et textes essentiels, témoignant de son engagement constant, tout au long de sa carrière, dans le débat sur l’architecture et l’urbanisme. Le parcours de Stanislas Jasinski gagne sans conteste à être découvert et apprécié.
