The Figure of Knowledge
Conditioning Architectural Theory, 1960s - 1990s
2020 || Paperback || Sebastiaan Loosen e.a. || Leuven University Press
It is a major challenge to write the history of post-WWII architectural theory without boiling it down to a few defining paradigms. An impressive anthologising effort during the 1990s charted architectural theory mostly via the various theoretical frameworks employed, such as critical theory, critical regionalism, deconstructivism, and pragmatism.
Yet the intellectual contours of what constitutes architectural theory have been constantly in flux. It is therefore paramount to ask what kind of ...
The Tacit Dimension
Architecture Knowledge and Scientific Research
Paperback || Lara Schrijver || Leuven University Press
Within architecture, tacit knowledge plays a substantial role both within the design process and its reception. This book explores the tacit dimension of architecture in its aesthetic, material, cultural, design-based, and reflexive understanding of what we build. Much of architecture’s knowledge resides beneath the surface, in nonverbal instruments such as drawings and models that articulate the spatial imagination of the design process. Tacit knowledge, described in 1966 by Michael Polany...

multidisciplinary Methods for Historical Analysis
2019 || Paperback || Thomas Coomans e.a. || Leuven University Press
The development of historical geographical information systems (HGIS) and other methods from the digital humanities have revolutionised historical research on cultural landscapes. One of today’s major challenges, however, concerns the concepts and tools to be deployed for mapping processes of transformation—that is, interpreting and imagining the relational complexity of urban and rural landscapes, both in space and in time, at micro- and macro-scale. The opening up of increasingly divers...

De stoep
ontmoetingen tussen huis en straat
2015 || Paperback || Eric van Ulden e.a. || nai010 uitgevers publishers
De stoep is waar een prettige en gezonde stad begint. De stoep is een overgangsgebied tussen huis en straat waar sociale contacten tussen bewoners plaatsvinden en de uitstraling van de straat voor een belangrijk deel wordt bepaald. Een succesvolle stoep ontstaat echter niet zomaar. Vooral niet nu overheden en woningcorporaties zich bezinnen op hun taken en meer en meer wordt gevraagd van andere partijen en bewoners. De stoep laat zien dat deze ontwikkelingen juist voor de overgangsgebieden in...
