“Its street layout, a grid of rectangular plots, served as a springboard for the design of the town hall: two five storey-wings at right angles and one diagonal wing. the front and rear facades are contrasting. those facing the town have a distinghuised character deriving from the classical tripartition of basement, marble-clad middle section, and cornice with round indentations. the rear facade is less flat, and displays a great degree of openness.”

“16 classrooms are not grouped around a central hall, but situated alongside the long shaped, street like space, overcovered by the arch shaped roof. additional educational spaces are combined as a strip in the middle of this ‘street’. this zone of smaller, more or less enclosed rooms is interrupted by place like open spaces that connect the two corridors. On top of this central zone there is a long balcony, open for different use.”

“aldo van Eyck was commissioned to design a health center for the Filmwijk neighbourhood as part of the BOUW raI II. From outside the building looks hermetic, a fortress even, judging by the phalanx of ‘periscopes’ poking up like battlements along the North facade. Internally the design proves to be another illustration of Van Eyck’s ‘house as a small city’ theme. the entrances are located at places where the outer walls sweep inward.”

“appropriately enough, this is the home to one of the company’s twelve research and technology groups around the world. Essentially, these people work on new and better ways of making energy and coming up with new things to do with it. the building is on the north side of the IJ river, commonly referred to as the “other” side by locals. From its position on the edge of amsterdam’s harbor it has a commanding view of the city. Its most striking feature is on the roof -- a concrete mass of geometric squares and circles turned at a 45-degree angle to the rest of the building.”

“the Beurs van Berlage is a building on the damrak, in the center of amsterdam. It was designed as a commodity exchange by architect hendrik Petrus Berlage and constructed between 1896 and 1903. It influenced many modernist architects, in particular functionalists and the amsterdam school. It is now used as a conference venue. the building is constructed of red brick, with an iron and glass roof and stone piers, lintels and corbels. Its entrance is under a large clock tower, while inside lie three large multi-story halls formerly used as trading floors, with offices and communal facilities grouped around them.”

“the scheepvaarthuis was built as a joint office for six amsterdam shipping companies. It was to be a modern and functional office building. the structure is a piece de resistance of the amsterdam school and one of the main examples of this architectural style. Characteristics of the amsterdam school are the profuse masonry along the chimneys, ridge beams and frames and the design of the corners.”

“By the turn of the century, art Nouveau was no longer the exclusive domain of a small group of enthusiasts. It had become a successful formula which was applied to everything. In no time at all countless Brussels single-family homes were erected in this style, allowing the city to take up a privileged position among European capitals. In these houses, often only a few metres wide, the emphasis was on the decorative façades.”

“the hotel van Eetvelde in Brussels was designed in 1898 by Victor horta, undoubtedly the key European art Nouveau architect. While most other architects flirted with the new style, horta found it gave the best expression to his ideas. his skill is demonstrated in his ability to slip his domestic designs into narrow constricted sites. the interiors become of great importance as centres of light, which permeates through the filigree domes and skylights—usually in the centre of the building.”

“the 1893 art Nouveau style Maison autrique is the first town house that horta built in Brussels, and it is one of, if not the first, example of art Nouveau architecture. this is significant when one considers how wildly popular the art form was throughout the Western world between the years of 1890 and 1905.”

1990 Palace of JusticePoulaert

“although this gigantic edifice does not really belong to the sablon, it nevertheless dominates the area. It was built between 1860 and 1880 by Joseph Poulaert in eclectic style. It is believed to be the biggest building constructed in the 19th century in the world. the palace of justice is situated on top of a hill, which was called “gallows hill” in the Middle ages. the dimensions of the palace are awesome: it is 105 m high and covers a total surface of 24.000 square meters. It still functions as the supreme court of law for Belgium.”

Palais StocletJoseph hoffmann 1905

“It was constructed on Brussel’s avenue de tervueren by the Wiener Werkstätte or Viennese Workshop. although the marble clad facade is radically simplified and looks forward to Modernism, it contains commissioned works by Gustav Klimt in the dining room, four copper figures at the top by sculptor Franz Metzner, and other craftwork inside and outside the building. this integration of architects, artists, and artisans makes it an example of Gesamtkunstwerk, one of the defining characteristics of Jugendstil.”

- wikipedia

“Initiated by the ECsC (European Coal and steel Community), this experimental house is typical of post-War research into very economical housing and reflects the ECsC’s high involvement in this issue. Component standardisation, prefabrication and rationalisation of plans based on Le Corbusier’s Modulor combined to significantly cut labour costs, notably on site. the structure is based on 4 steel frames infilled with brick, weighing 4 tonnes in all. the light façades are also in metal, with frames in folded sheet metal for all glazed sections and opaque metal plate panels with incorporated insulation.”

“the history of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) is closely linked with that of Belgium itself. When the nine provinces that broke away from the Kingdom of the Netherlands formed the Belgian state in 1830, there were three state universities in the country: Ghent, Liege and Leuven. Even though Brussels had been promoted to the rank of capital, it still had no university.”

“One of the original ideas for Expo ‘58 was to build an upside-down version of the Eiffel tower; however, Waterkeyn felt that an atomic structure would be more symbolic of the era. the monument was originally planned to remain standing only six months. however, it soon became a symbol not only of the World’s Fair, but of modern architecture and Brussels. the monument stayed the same for almost 50 years.”

“the Netherlands dance theater in the hague was one of the first completed projects to garner critical acclaim for OMa. a foyer shared with an adjacent concert hall consists of three levels: the lowest slotted beneath the auditorium tiers, above it a half-moon balcony, and at the top, a ‘floating skybar.”

“de resident stitches the low-rise of the old town center to the high rises of the new business district centered on the hague Central station. a new tram route from the station to the city hall compensates for the built over tracks. Once the area had gained a new diagonal axis and horseshoe-shaped central public space, a team of name architects from home and abroad directed by Krier and sjoerd soeters was enlisted to design the panoply of high profile buildings.”

“Leuven is a university town located 30km to the east of Brussels. the first references to the town may go back to the 9th century, but it was not until the 12th century that Leuven started to flourish as an important trading center for cloth. In 1425 the University of Leuven was founded. Leuven has a rich heritage and various historical buildings from different centuries can be admired. Its finely sculpted town hall and saint Peter’s church with the famous ‘Last supper’ by thierry Bouts, are fine examples of flamboyant Gothic architecture at its best. the Baroque style can be found in st Michael’s church, in the interior of the st John the Baptist’s church, and in the unrivalled stucco of the Park abbey. “

“the rietveld schröderhuis in Utrecht is an icon of the Modern Movement in architecture and an outstanding expression of human creative genius in its purity of ideas and concepts as developed by the de stijl movement. With its radical approach to design and the use of space, the rietveld schröderhuis occupies a seminal position in the development of architecture in the modern age.”

“the Centraal Museum is housed in a former medieval cloister. But parts of the building have also served as an orphanage, military stable and a psychiatric hospital. In 1999 the museum was renovated by the architects stéphane Beel, Lieven achtergael and Peter Versseput. the museum comprises a series of pavilions around a central courtyard.
