    A chanson des vieux amants? Belgium and the world’s fairs dr. Rika Devos Department of Architecture & Urban Planning, Ghent University St.-Lucas, Department of Architecture, Wenk World’s fair architecture: a setting for discussion World’s fairs would have lost their meaning in today’s mediatised global village: in 2010, this is old news, as world’s fairs, by their very existence, continue to deliver proof of the will to show, to (re)consider, nothing less than the world. Printed press, live satellite television, Internet, YouTube and Skype, multinational corporations, free travel, changed concepts of the nation and international relations, Europe without borders: all these eye and mind openers have not, as was suggested by many in the 1990ies, drained the sense and purpose from world’s fairs. Ever since the first post-war world’s fair – Expo 58, held in Brussels – organisers have publically questioned the use of their events, as from the 1950s onwards, evolutions in science, (tele)communications and transportation theoretically made the world accessible to all. But world’s fairs offer a specific view of the world, bound by place, time and the exhibition’s theme, which give order and sense to the gathering. Indeed, one of the criteria used by the BIE1 to grant a city the right to organise a world’s fair is the choice and elaboration of a relevant theme. Such a theme – in case of Shanghai 2010 ‘Better City, Better Life’ – has to set the goals for the fair, give sense to the efforts of the participants, provide an opportunity to differentiate from others and unite all in a conceptual way.

We trace its course through war and Bells peace, colonialism and the struggle for Civil Rights appealing Fair’s national pavilions were never finished at all. For the New York project, van de Velde, then 76, worked with two colleagues from La Cambre, the architects Victor Bourgeois and Léon Stynen. They adopted a blocky, horizontal format, like the one which van de Velde had created in Paris, and used similar 80-by-60-centimetre terracotta plaques to face much of the facade. Unique to the New York pavilion were two massive sandstone bas-relief friezes representing ‘Belgians at Work’ and Africans of the Belgian Congo. Sculptor Oscar Jespers, another of van de Velde’s associates from La Cambre, collabo- rated with Henri Puvrez on the workers’ scene, and Postcard view of the Belgian pavilion at the New York Arthur Dupagne, a specialist in Congolese subjects, World’s Fair in 1939 produced the one representing the Belgian Congo.

  • The National Giro Bank Building of Victor Bourgeois
    THE NATIONAL GIRO BANK BUILDING OF VICTOR BOURGEOIS INTRODUCTION “Victor Bourgeois? You better say: Eastern bloc architecture!” titled a short article – one of the very few – published on the occasion of the reopening in July 2002 of the renovated National Giro Bank building in Brussels.1 Victor Bourgeois designed the office block in 1937 and finished it in 1949. Unoccupied since 1990, the Flemish parliament bought it and organized an international competition to transform it into an office building for its deputies. The official press release emphasizes how Bourgeois was one of the most important architects of the modern movement in Belgium. But the quoted parliamentarian bluntly expressed his doubts on, not to say his dislike of the building’s architectural quality. The small column was found on the inner pages of the paper and would have passed unnoticed together with the day’s other fait-divers, if it didn’t surpass the simple taste of a parliamentarian. As a matter of fact, though, the negative critical judgement on Bourgeois’ later buildings has been, and still is widespread and often repeated in the field of theory and history of Belgian architecture. In an international context, a comparable negative judgment was assigned to the more mature work of architects such as J.J.P. Oud or André Lurçat, to name only two avant-gardists who seem to have 1 given up modernism at a higher age. What distinguishes the Belgian architect from his colleagues however is that this critical reception is part of a larger picture, which assigns a rather ambivalent place to Victor Bourgeois in the history of modern architecture in Belgium.

Hence, for many modernist architects and urban planners, post-war Europe became the ideal ground to put their ideas to the test. However, there is a genuine discrepancy between the proposals of the first four Congrès Internationaux d’Architecture Moderne (CIAM) and what was massively implemented throughout Europe after 1945. To explore this divergence, Brussels proves to be an interesting case study for two main reasons. First, it hosted the third CIAM in November 1930, where Victor Bourgeois presented his views on housing and cities, in line with the ide- als of the time. Second, after the war, Belgium, like many Western countries, experienced a period of euphoria, during which the modernist ideology attained a sudden and broad consensus. In the capital over the following three decades new infrastructure was built, as well as housing developments that derived, at least formally, from the CIAM ideals. This article explores the gap between the ideals and the reality of modernism through a comparison on two scales: the city and housing.

MEDIATION 2 7 ARTS, Belgian avant-garde, 1922 — 1928 In 1922, three young men founded the avant-garde magazine 7 Arts to promote the arts and in particular the synthesis of all the arts as only architecture and cinema can achieve. Pierre Bourgeois, a poet, his brother Victor, an architect, and the painter Pierre-Louis Flouquet were soon joined by the composer Georges Monier and Karel Maes, painter, engraver and furniture designer. “The five” succeeded in harnessing the vital forces of the Belgian avant-garde and in placing their magazine at the very heart of the European avant-garde. Throughout the six years of publication the pages of the magazine provided a platform for the principal protagonists of the Belgian and international artistic scene: De Stijl, the Bauhaus, the Purists, the Constructivists, the Futurists and many other champions of the geometric abstraction to which they gave the name Plastique pure or ‘Pure Plastic’. Their ambition was to have the arts penetrate every dimension of modern urban life and to transform it in the process. In 2020, the CIVA is devoting a retrospective exhibition to 7 Arts, the impressive adventure that this work presents.

Victor Horta, with his organic style, and Paul Hankar, with his more geometric style, created a new architectural language, which soon became internationally famous, earning Brussels the title of European Art Nouveau Capital to this day. Art Nouveau, meaning “new art”, was a fleeting moment in art history, lasting just over ten years and falling out of favour just before World War I.

  • The Representation of Modern Domesticity in the Belgian Section of The
    The Representation of Modern Domesticity in the Belgian Section of the Brussels World’s Fair of 1958 The theme of the domestic interior in post-war Belgium has so far remained virtually unexplored. A few academic studies discuss the initiatives and design achievements of the then avant-garde, which included such designers as Marcel-Louis Baugniet, Jules Wabbes, Willy Van Der Meeren, Emiel Veranneman and Pieter De Bruyne.1 But there are no studies that explicitly focus on the shape modernity took in the homes of the fifties, a period of acute housing shortage and rapid industrialisation. The limited international reputation of post-war Belgian design and the unstructured internal debate on ‘good homes’ probably did not help. Whereas in the Netherlands, for example, the post-war domestic reform movement has been examined from the point of view of women’s studies,2 design history research is being carried out into the influence of socio-cultural phenomena such as the appearance of domestic electric appliances,3 and anthropological studies of the interior of the home have been initiated,4 research in Belgium is found only in the margins of a few architectural and art history studies, mainly on the work of designers. In response to this, this paper focuses explicitly on the domestic interior in Belgium in the fifties. Its intention is to show how the representation of domesticity in the Belgian Section of the Brussels World’s Fair of 1958 was a reflection of the then national discourse on contemporary living. The research presented in this paper is part of a Ph.D.
