Legal deposit: D/2014/6860/020 HERITAGE DAYS ⁄ 1 Foreword Organised since 1989 in Brussels-Capital Region, the Heritage Days are, today, the must- see event of the back-to-school period. In just over two decades, the principle behind these days has succeeded in reaching and winning over the public, and it has become a much-loved event that enjoys increasing success every year and which attracts ever greater numbers of visitors. This enthusiasm is a reflection of the interest of Brussels residents in their heritage as well as their enjoyment in discovering or rediscovering the monuments and sites in their neighbourhood and in their city. As a public authority, this interest confirms our need to preserve this heritage and ensure that it is incorporated into the development of the city. Each year, the diversity of Brussels’ heritage is highlighted through a theme. After embracing the theme of “Party” for the 25th edition of Heritage Days in 2013, this year, Brussels-Capital Region has joined the European movement commemorating the start of the First World War. It has chosen to devote the two days to the theme of “History and memory”, in a historical perspective going beyond the years of the Great War. This is why, beyond the traces left by the First World War in our city, you will discover that, wherever you go in Brussels, sites and names of streets and neighbourhoods remind us of the major and minor history of our capital city. Buildings that bear witness to major events in history, places where famous figures, artists, writers and philosophers stayed, museums, monuments and commemorative public spaces, etc.: each location included in the programme and every event on offer will recall a chapter of the region’s history. I would like to take this opportunity to say a special word of thanks to all of the people – site managers, associations, municipal councils, volunteers, professionals, and others – who are taking action for our heritage and who ensure that the Heritage Days are a success every year. I hope you enjoy your heritage visits!

  • Une «Flamandisation» De Bruxelles?
    Une «flamandisation» de Bruxelles? Alice Romainville Université Libre de Bruxelles RÉSUMÉ Les médias francophones, en couvrant l'actualité politique bruxelloise et à la faveur des (très médiatisés) «conflits» communautaires, évoquent régulièrement les volontés du pouvoir flamand de (re)conquérir Bruxelles, voire une véritable «flamandisation» de la ville. Cet article tente d'éclairer cette question de manière empirique à l'aide de diffé- rents «indicateurs» de la présence flamande à Bruxelles. L'analyse des migrations entre la Flandre, la Wallonie et Bruxelles ces vingt dernières années montre que la population néerlandophone de Bruxelles n'est pas en augmentation. D'autres éléments doivent donc être trouvés pour expliquer ce sentiment d'une présence flamande accrue. Une étude plus poussée des migrations montre une concentration vers le centre de Bruxelles des migrations depuis la Flandre, et les investissements de la Communauté flamande sont également, dans beaucoup de domaines, concentrés dans le centre-ville. On observe en réalité, à défaut d'une véritable «flamandisation», une augmentation de la visibilité de la communauté flamande, à la fois en tant que groupe de population et en tant qu'institution politique. Le «mythe de la flamandisation» prend essence dans cette visibilité accrue, mais aussi dans les réactions francophones à cette visibilité. L'article analyse, au passage, les différentes formes que prend la présence institutionnelle fla- mande dans l'espace urbain, et en particulier dans le domaine culturel, lequel présente à Bruxelles des enjeux particuliers. MOTS-CLÉS: Bruxelles, Communautés, flamandisation, migrations, visibilité, culture ABSTRACT DOES «FLEMISHISATION» THREATEN BRUSSELS? French-speaking media, when covering Brussels' political events, especially on the occasion of (much mediatised) inter-community conflicts, regularly mention the Flemish authorities' will to (re)conquer Brussels, if not a true «flemishisation» of the city.

  • 2017-12-12 Dossier De Presse Horta EN
    Horta inside out: A year dedicated to this architectural genius One of the greatest architects of his generation, Victor Horta, certainly left his mark on Brussels. From the Horta House to the Hôtel Tassel and the Horta-Lambeaux Pavilion, it was about time we paid tribute to this master of Art Nouveau by dedicating a whole year to his work and creative genius. Victor Horta moved to Brussels in 1881 and went to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. His teacher, Alphonse Balat (the architect behind the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken), saw his potential and took him on as an assistant. Very quickly, he became fascinated by curves, light and steel. He soon joined the inner circle of the Masonic lodge that would launch his career. The Autrique House was built in 1893, followed closely by the wonderful Hôtel Tassel. This period was the start of a long series of showpieces which dotted Brussels with buildings with innovative spaces and bright skylights. Horta, one of the earliest instigators, heralded the modern movement of Art Nouveau architecture. The stylistic revolution represented by these works is characterised by their open plan, diffusion and transformation of light throughout the construction, the creation of a decor that brilliantly illustrates the curved lines of decoration embracing the structure of the building, the use of new materials (steel and glass), and the introduction of modern technical utilities. Through the rational use of the metallic structures, often visible or subtly dissimulated, Victor Horta conceived flexible, light and airy living areas, directly adapted to the personality of their inhabitants.

Los manuscritos de Francisco Alonso Lozano, Brussels, Commission Royale d’Histoire, 2018, 271 pp. isbn 978-2-87044-016-2 Since the 1970s, numerous studies have been devoted to the history of the princely courts of Europe. Many of these have focused on the magnificent royal courts of France, England, and Spain, but in recent years the courts of smaller principalities, too, have been researched extensively. By comparison, the court of Brussels has received scant attention in historiography. Owing to its reputation as a subaltern court of the Spanish monarchy, the Brussels court was often considered to have been of secondary importance at best. Most scholars have therefore tended to concen- trate on the first decades of the seventeenth century, when the archdukes Albert and Isa- bella (1598-1633) inhabited the palace on the city’s Coudenberg hill and created a court that rivalled many others in size and opulence. While these studies have greatly contrib- uted to our knowledge of the Brussels court as a centre of international diplomacy and culture, its history during the second half of the seventeenth century has remained largely unexplored. From the 1660s onwards the Coudenberg palace became the residence of a rapid succession of governors, few of whom remained in the Low Countries long enough to take a vested interest in its upkeep. The resulting scholarly indifference towards this later period has also been affected by the problematic archival situation, as relevant sources are scattered across multiple European archives.

  • Understanding the Structural Concept of the Design of the Winter Garden
    Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture XI 131 Understanding the structural concept of the design of the Winter Garden at the Royal Glasshouses of Laeken (Brussels, Belgium) by three-dimensional structural analysis L. Lauriks, M. de Bouw & I. Wouters Department of Architectural Engineering, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium Abstract The Winter Garden (1874-1876) is part of the major complex of the Royal Glasshouses of Laeken, situated at the north of Brussels, Belgium. As part of the ongoing renovation study, we want to have an insight into the structural concept of the iron frame. There are two different viewpoints on the structural design of this impressive glasshouse by Alphonse Balat. This paper examines the structural concept by calculations of three-dimensional models of the iron frame in a finite elements software package. Keywords: Winter Garden, Balat, Brussels, glasshouse, Vierendeel, dome, structural concept, iron, glass. 1 Building the Winter Garden 1.1 The Royal Glasshouses of Laeken The Royal Domain of Laeken, situated at the north of Brussels, is one of the residences of the Belgian royal family. The Royal Palace was built in 1781 stimulated by the Governors-General of the Austrian Netherlands. It was expanded with an orangery in 1818 and a complex of glasshouses from 1874 until 1905. The complete set of glasshouses takes up an area of 1.5 ha, covered with 2.5 ha of glass (Goedleven [1]). All entities were built between 1818 and 1905 in order of king Leopold II. Alphonse Balat (°1818 †1895) was the architect of the majority of these Royal Glasshouses.
