This book is heavy on photographs and light on measured drawings perhaps reflecting the reluctance of copyright owners to license their use in the book.

Stephane Beel Architect (Architecture Monographs)
Hardcover with dusjacket 187 pages. Illustrated. English text. fine!. ISBN 9789055442430. Stephane Beel made his surprising debut in 1985 with a house in Zoersel, in which he brilliantly transformed all the details of the site to create an extraordinary home. Since then he has pulled off several similar feats. At Villa M. in Zedelgem, he converted an overgrown farmhouse garden into an inhabitable enclosed structure, and in 1996, he transformed a dairy farm in Eekio, Belgium into an office building. This book includes an essay by Bekaert, a conversation between Beel, Mil de Kooning, and Verschaffel, and a complete list of Beel's work.

ROOTED IN THE REAL Architectural Writings by Geert Bekaert.
Hardcover, 230 x 160 mm, 540 pages, throughout illustraties, ENG edition. ISBN 9789077833155. Geert Bekaert (1928) is the most influential and most productive architecture critic in the Dutch-speaking area. Since the fifties, he has been involved in every possible theoretical, critical or cultural debate on architecture. In Rooted in the real a broad selection of his writings is for the first time ever presented to an English-speaking audience. The book consists of four divisions: in part 1, theoretical essays are collected. In part 2, Bekaert writes on the oeuvres of both young and old Belgian architects. Part 3 presents shorter criticism of contemporary architecture. Part 4 presents a selection of his writings on international architects, such as Rem Koolhaas, Frank Gehry, Le Corbusier and Aldo Rossi. Each text is accompanied by insightful illustrations, often pictures taken by the author himself and previously unpublished. The collection is preceded by an introduction by Christophe Van Gerrewey

Vilvoorde. Staalkaart van moderne architectuur. Roger De Winter en Lucien Engels Functionele modernistische architectuur in Vilvoorde in de periode 1950-1960
Paperback, 207 pages met prachtige illustraties in kleur. ISBN 9789042924888. Vilvoorde. Staalkaart van moderne architectuur stelt de projecten voor die de architecten Roger De Winter en Lucien Engels tijdens de jaren 1950-1960 realiseerden in hun geboortestad Vilvoorde. In de publicatie komen 46 projecten aan bod die treffend de evolutie in het werk van de architecten, hun wederzijdse beinvloeding en opleiding in Ter Kameren illustreren. De projecten sluiten naadloos aan bij de internationaal heersende stromingen, maar sterke individualiserende en vaak eigenzinnige accenten verrijken deze modernistische verworvenheden. Het werk van de architecten wordt gekaderd in het nationaal huisvestingsbeleid en de wijze waarop de stad Vilvoorde en de huisvestingsmaatschappijen hierop inspeelden. Daarnaast wordt de focus ook uitgebreid van de architecten naar hun receptie door ondermeer erfgenamen en bewoners.

Lange tijd is het oeuvre van de Luikse architect Charles Vandenhove voornamelijk beperkt gebleven tot de eigen regio. Na een grote overzichtstentoonstelling in 1985-1986 in Amsterdam, Parijs, Aken en Brussel, komt daar verandering in. De laatste tien jaar is er naast opdrachten in onder andere Parijs, Dijon, Brussel, Antwerpen en Luik, vooral werk in Nederland; in Hellevoetsluis, Den Haag, Amsterdam, Breda, Wageningen, Leek, Haren, Dordrecht, Den Bosch en Maastricht. Deze publikatie toont en interpreteert het werk in de periode 1985-1995.

Achter de facade van de Hollandse stad. Het stedelijk bouwbedrijf in de achttiende eeuw
integraal gebonden, 16x24 cm, rijk geillustreerd in kleur, 400 pagina's ISBN 9789460040535. De stadsbesturen van Haarlem, Leiden, Delft, Amsterdam, Gouda, Rotterdam en Schiedam was er in de achttiende eeuw veel aan gelegen hun publieke bouwwerken optimaal te beheren. De stevige concurrentie tussen de verschillende steden vroeg om voortdurende investeringen. Hoewel dit niet voor elke stad eenvoudig was, moest de facade van macht en welvaart altijd overeind blijven. Liet de groeiende economie van Rotterdam en Schiedam belangrijke verbeteringen van het stadsbeeld toe, steden als Leiden, Haarlem en Delft zagen zich juist geconfronteerd met diepgaande economische problemen en alle (ruimtelijke) gevolgen van dien. Publieke bouwwerkzaamheden bleken zeer fraudegevoelig. Stadsbesturen zochten de oplossing onder andere in verbeterde aanbesteding en het benoemen van hoogopgeleide bouwkundig functionarissen. De publieke architectuurontwikkeling in de achttiende eeuw is tot op heden weinig belicht. Ten onrechte, want binnen de stadsbesturen en stedelijk bouwbedrijven bestond voortdurend aandacht voor verbetering van de publieke ruimte en voorzieningen. Achter de facade van de Hollandse stad brengt de organisatie van de stedelijk bouwbedrijven en de verantwoordelijke bouwkundigen in beeld en beschrijft, geillustreerd met talrijke oorspronkelijke bouwtekeningen, belangrijke architecturale, stedenbouwkundige en waterstaatkundige projecten uit de achttiende eeuw.
