  • 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.

  • 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

  • BRUSSELS © Shopping, Consistently Excellentdiningatallpriceranges,Sublimechocolate Shops Anda the Trulygrandgrandplaceissurely Oneoftheworld’Smostbeautiful Squares
    © Lonely Planet 62 Brussels BRUSSELS BRUSSELS The fascinating capital of Belgium and Europe sums up all the contradictions of both. It’s simultaneously historic yet hip, bureaucratic yet bizarre, self confident yet un-showy and multicultural to its roots. The city’s contrasts and tensions are multilayered yet somehow consistent in their very incoherence – Francophone versus Flemish, Bruxellois versus Belgian versus Eurocrat versus immigrant. And all this plays out on a cityscape that swings block by block from majestic to quirky to grimily rundown and back again. It’s a complex patchwork of overlapping yet distinctive neighbourhoods that takes time to understand. Organic art nouveau facades face off against 1960s concrete disgraces. Regal 19th-century mansions contrast with the brutal glass of the EU’s real-life Gotham City. World-class museums lie hidden in suburban parks and a glorious beech forest extends extraordinarily deep into the city’s southern flank. This whole maelstrom swirls forth from Brussels’ medieval core, where the truly grand Grand Place is surely one of the world’s most beautiful squares. Constant among all these disparate images is the enviable quality of everyday life – great shopping, consistently excellent dining at all price ranges, sublime chocolate shops and a café scene that could keep you drunk for years. But Brussels doesn’t go out of its way to impress. Its citizens have a low-key approach to everything. And their quietly humorous, deadpan outlook on life is often just as surreal as the classic Brussels-painted
