Embedding an architectural project in its context exceeds the mere use of materials and spatial devices. Rather, those are simply the tools used to convey a message, and to reflect certain values. Any piece of architecture with an urban, residential location, has the potential to impact the daily lives of citizens. This is especially the case when ...

In a general newspaper two historians call not to create myths about the Flemish Resistance to Nazi Germany during WW2. They give figures showing that there was far more resistance in the French-speaking part of Belgium, and also state that actions in the Flemish provinces started later.

Partant du truisme que ces « archives » sont souvent qualifiées de « provoquées », nous nous sommes demandési elles ne sont pas plutôt co-construites par les enquêteurs et les enquêtés ou, plus exactement, par les témoins et les témoignaires.

Estos medios junto con la historia constituyen la narrativa. La...

From the outset, historians specialising in the second constitutional period began to organise congresses, publish books, journal dossiers and a long etcetera. Everyth...

During the First World War the Germans were deploying thousands of Russian POWs in occupied Belgium. Their presence was part of the German policy to use cheap labour forces behind their lines. Very occasionally these Russians pop up in literature about the First World War. On Belgian cemeteries one can find a few hundred of their graves. In additio...
