Les Van Den Ghein Fondeurs De Cloches, Canons, Sonnettes Et Mortiers, À Malines by Dr Les van den Ghein fondeurs de cloches, canons, sonnettes et mortiers, à Malines by Dr. G. Van Doorslaer (English Translation) File-02 – Pages 100 to 206 This document is provided for you by The Whiting Society of Ringers visit www.whitingsociety.org.uk for the full range of publications and articles about bells and change ringing 100 PETRUS VAN DEN GHEIN ME FECIT M D LXVIII. It rang the note la and weighed 10.2 kg. Its diameter was 0.019m. 1569. (14, see annexes). A bell, whose inscriptions have not been preserved, was founded by Peter van den Ghein, in 1569, for the Saint-Jacob church in Antwerp. It had been offered by the parishioners and had been consecrated to Saint Hendrick. We know, however, that it was adorned with the Coat of Arms of the Chief Church Warden, the Knight Hendrick van Berchem. The accounts of the church mention, on the same date, that a bell, called "franche clocke", weighing 990 pounds, was flawed and it was sent to Mechelen for redesign. They did not manage to agree with the founder on the conditions of work. Expenses made on this occasion, at the Gulden Hoot Inn, rose to 7 sous and 10 ½ deniers. Resolved to dispense with the good offices of van den Ghein, agents of the Saint-Jacob church travelled Mechelen, but failed to find a bell that gave the desired sound. They returned to van den Ghein and finally came to an agreement. The founder then signed a contract, by which he undertook to recast the cracked bell. The transformed bell weighed six pounds more than the first, and the founder received for his work the sum of 11 pounds 7 escalins and 3 deniers: a rate of 15 deniers per hundred pounds. Once in place, the bell was set to the exact tone by 101 van den Ghein, and it was connected to the clock. In this last job, he was assisted by the clockmaker from Mechelen, Master Jan who was, without doubt, his usual collaborator, Jan Ingels. 1569. (21, 22). In Hoorn, Holland, in the bell tower of the church of Sainte- Marie, hangs a bell carrying, in Roman capitals, the inscription: PETER VAN DEN GHEIN HEFT MI GHEGOTEN INT JAER M CCCCC LXIX. It measures 0.44m in diameter and is decorated with three medallions, one of which represents St. Michael slaying the dragon, the other, Susanna and the Elders; the third, the Nativity of Jesus. 1570. (23) The church Saint-Servais of the municipality of Bergh, province of Brabant, district of Brussels, still possesses a bell bearing the inscription: PEETER VAN DEN GHEIN HEEFT MY GEGOTEN M CCCCC LXX It measures 0.39m high and 0.35m in diameter. 1570. (23) In Nederockerzeel, province of Brabant, district of Brussels, still exists, at the Saint-Etienne church, a small bell bearing the inscription: PEETER VAN DEN GHEIN HEEFT MY GHEGOTEN M CCCCC LXX. 102 1573. A bell bearing the date of 1573, cast by Peter van den Ghein, is still in the carillon of the city of Arnemuiden, Holland. It probably comes from the carillon of the convent of Roosendael, in Waelhem, bought by the city of Arnemuiden in 1582 and completed in 1583, with 9 new bells. (See later). 1574. In Holland, the church of Oude Tonge, in the island of Goeree, still owns a bell by Peter van den Ghein, adorned with two medallions 1. 1580. (14) Among the bells which, in 1597, existed in Madrid and which were discovered by the Antwerp artist Jehan L'Hermite, one finds several Mechelen bells. They were collected by S. M. Le Roi in Lisbon, during the troubles of the Low Countries, and transported to these places. (See Peter van den Ghein I, 1547). The carillon of the Church of St. Lawrence, in Madrid, possessed several, dating from 1580; here is the statement: (1) A bell of medium size, bearing the arms of the city of Mechelen and the inscription: PEETER VAN DEN GHEIN HEEFT MY GEGOTEN M CCCCC LXXX. (2) A bell of a large size, bore the same inscription, only the letters of the vintage differ: M D LXXX. 1 This information comes from Mr. Overvoorde in Leiden. 103 (3) A bell decorated with the effigy of the king, and on which we read: BEN ICK VAN PEETER VAN DEN GHEIN GEGOTEN M CCCCC LXXX. (4) A bell with the inscription: JHESUS. BEN ICK VAN PEETER VAN DEN GHEIN GEGOTEN. M CCCCC LXXX. 1583. (14) Other bells reported again by Jehan L'Hermite in 1597, in Madrid and dating from 1583: (1) A small bell bearing the inscription: MARIA. BEN ICK VAN PEETER VAN DEN GHEIN GEGOTEN. M CCCCC LXXXIII. (2) Another with the inscription: ANNA. BEN ICK VAN PEETER VAN DEN GHEIN GEGOTEN INT JAER M D LXXXIII. 1583. After the new tower of the Arnemuiden church, in Holland, was completed, the Magistrate of the municipality resolved, as evidenced by the municipal accounts of the date of July 31, 1582, to buy from an Antwerp merchant, named Arnold van Thuyl, the clock and the bells which had served in the "voorslag" of the convent of Roosendael 104 at Waelhem, near Mechelen, and whose seller became the buyer after the surrender of the city of Mechelen. The contract was concluded at the price of 75 livres and 50 f. In 1583, the municipal administration of Arnemuiden addressed the Mechelen founder to arrange and complete the chime. He delivered nine new bells with a total weight of 4674 pounds and at the same time 2 pairs of pannes, which raised the weight to 4713 1/2 pounds. This supply earned him 6 florins per 100 pounds of weight. Jan Ingels, the clever Mechelen clockmaker, who was the usual collaborator of van den Ghein for the installation of bells, was charged with regulating the mechanism of the clock and the "voorslag" for the sum of 125 florins, for which he had to supply all the accessories, such as 200 pimples to puncture the drum, hammers, threads, needles, etc. The costs of his stay and that of his work remained the responsibility of the city. After the work was done, he received another 33 pounds 3 escalins 4 deniers for the extra work. Fearing that the tower was too weak to receive the unplanned weight of the bells and the clock mechanism, the municipal administration resolved, on August 25th 1583, to consolidate it. The former "voorslag" of the convent of Roosendael, therefore received a profound reorganization and complement. This chime of Arnemuiden moved after 1859 to the current tower and consists of 21 bells, the largest of which was cast in 1518, by Peter Waghevens, from Mechelen. The other 20 bells came from the van den Ghein workshops; one of them dates from 1553, 8 others from 1554, one from 1556, one of 1573 and the last nine from 1583. We have discussed these earlier. 105 1583. (24, 25, see annexes). In the course of this year, the magistrate of Mechelen ordered from the foundry, the supply of the 19th and the 20th bell for the carillon in the tower of Saint Rombout. At the same time the founder was charged with the redesign of the 4 smaller bells, which were of the wrong tone. The Mechelen clockmaker, Jan Ingels, did the work connecting the hammers to the clock mechanism. These bells were sold in 1680 to the church builders of Our Lady beyond the Dyle, in Mechelen, from where they passed into the hands of revolutionaries at the end of the eighteenth century, who turned them into cannons. 1585. (1, see annexes). The church of Saint Jan, in Mechelen, had been stripped, in 1576, of its three bells, at the request of Rogier Lestannier, artillery clerk, with the promise of restitution of the metal. No doubt these were used for the casting of cannons, which were very necessary in those troubled times. Restitution was not until 15961, but in the mean time by an agreement concluded on August 30th of this year, the churchwardens of Saint Jan’s Church charged the founder to deliver two new bells. They were baptized on September 8th following; a priest and the sacristan of the parish of St. Peter each received two sous for their 1 Municipal accounts, 1596-1597, fo213 r°. Paid to the churchwardens of St Jan’s 200 guilders for the removal of 3 bells by Mr Rogier Lestannier, commissioner of the Artillery Corps made in the year 1576.

The founder received for the re-melting of the old metal, 2 sous per pound; the new material, supplied and cast, was paid at the rate of 18 florins per hundred pounds. One of these bells was destroyed in 1797. It bore the inscription: Upper: PEETER VAN DEN GHEIN HEEFT MY GEGOTEN INT JAER 1585. Lower: JOANNES EVANGELIST. The other was saved and still hangs in the church tower of Saint Jan. It measures 0.05m in height and 0.60m in diameter. Its weight is about 130 kg. It rings a note a little above fa♮. It bears the following inscription, preceded by the shield of Mechelen: JAN BAPTISTE BEN IC VAN PEETER VAN DEN GHEIN GHEGOTEN M Vc LXXXV. It is decorated, around the shoulder with a frieze, of which Frieze on the bell of St Jan’s Church, Mechelen, cast by Peter II in 1585.

  • Petrification’ of Brussels Architecture an Attempted Explanation Between Construction Methods, Supply of Building Materials and Social Context (13Th-17Th Centuries)
    ‘Petrification’ of Brussels architecture An attempted explanation between construction methods, supply of building materials and social context (13th-17th centuries) Paulo CHARRUADAS 1 | Philippe SOSNOWSKA 2 1 Centre de Recherches en Archéologie et Patrimoine, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB)-Fonds National de la Recherche scientifique (F.R.S.-FNRS), Belgium | 2 Centre de Recherches en Archéologie et Patrimoine, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Belgium Abstract : Except for religious and aristocratic buildings, most constructions and houses in the initial stages of the former European cities and towns were mainly made of cob and timber. The gradual and complex transformation into stone and brick constructions – the so-called ‘petrification’ – is one of the most important processes within cities and towns. To date, however, this phenomenon has been little studied by historians and archaeologists. How these architectural transformations and their chronology took place is still a matter of conjecture. ‘Petrification’ is nonetheless a significant process: it affects the general aspect of the cities and towns, reflecting an obvious change in the landscape and the evolution in the employed building materials. From a social viewpoint, ‘petrification’ is associated with the way in which houses are interconnected and thus is a reflection of town politics as well as the relationships between neighborhoods. The ‘petrification’ process has also important implications in the organization of urban supplies of building materials. The relationship

  • Form Vision Hans Theys
    Form Vision Hans Theys Form Vision Artists on Art Tornado Editions 2019 To Tamara Van San In 1983, a fellow student handed me this Banda copy, suggesting it might be interesting for me – as an aficionado of art and literature – to study the writings of Kafka without interpreting them. The origin of the book you are holding now lies within this generous gesture. Thirty years later, when I accidently rediscovered it, I realised that the text quotes a book by Susan Sontag, translated and typewritten by an unknown hand. Everyone has a sort of individual form vision. In all the greatest artists the seeds of this form vision has been present even in their early work, and to some extent their work has been a gradual unfolding of this rhythm throughout. (…) It’s something the artist can’t control – it’s his make up. (…) The less conscious you are of your own individual form rhythm, the more likely it is, I think, to get richer and fuller and develop. Henry Moore, 1941 What is important now is to recover our senses. We must learn to see more, to hear more, to feel more. Our task is not to find the maximum amount of content in a work of art, much less to squeeze more content out of the work than is already there. Our task is to cut back content so that we can see the thing at all. (…) The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.

  • SAR 1403 Urban Design.Docx
    SCHOOL OF BUILDING SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE UNIT–I- URBAN DESIGN – SAR 1403 School Of Architecture UNIT 1 – Introduction and History of Urban Form Introduction to Urban Design. Urban design is concerned with the arrangement, appearance and function of our suburbs, towns and cities. Its both a process and an outcome of creating localities in which people live, engage with each other, and engage with the physical place around them. It involves the design and coordination of all that makes up cities and towns. Traditionally, the most popular definition is that urban design is the interface between urban planning and architecture. In this sense it plays a meditative role between two major disciplines involved in the urban realm, but at different levels and scales. Moreover, the latter directly tackles the physical built form in unitary particles, while planning manages more ‘abstract’ notions such as zoning, functions, transport networks and economy. Hence urban design focuses on the urban space created through the effects of planning and realized through the physicality of architectural buildings. In order for urban design to fulfill the role of a real interdisciplinary interface, it should be thought of – and taught – as a multidimensional activity. Other than planning and architecture, it should be clear that other seemingly independent disciplines play equally crucial roles in the study and/or creation of cities. Landscape architecture, communication and transport engineering, but also the ‘soft’ disciplines – sociology, economy, group and individual psychology and behavioral studies, even art and the humanities – are some of the poles that together shape the urban environment and give it its inherent subjective qualities.

    JOURNAL "SUSTAIBABLE DEVELOPMENT, CULTURE, TRADITIONS"................ Volume 1a/2015 GRAND-PLACE OF BRUSSELS - WORLD HERITAGE SITE-1998 Paula Cordeiro Architect, site manager Grand-Place Unesco Coordinator of the management plan City of Brussels, Town Planning Department, Historical Heritage Unit [email protected] Abstract Declared part of World Heritage in 1998, the Grand-Place of Brussels is now the subject of great attention from the City of Brussels. Since then, the City has been elaborating new strategies for the Grand-Place and its surroundings to preserve its heritage, to enhance the quality of its built environment, and to reinforce its residential use and animation role. A management plan was established in 2012 for a three-year period. Key words: Grand-place, buffer zone, world heritage. Introduction The Grand-Place in Brussels is an ensemble of monumental architecture consisting of a Gothic town hall surrounded by Baroque-style houses, which owes its external appearance to profound modifications at the end of the 18th century and major restoration work during the 19Th century. Today it is a major tourist attraction and an important heritage and cultural site requiring appropriate management. © Direction des Monuments et Sites – Région de Brussels –Capitale 35 JOURNAL "SUSTAIBABLE DEVELOPMENT, CULTURE, TRADITIONS"................
