Architecture Contemporaine en Belgique
No full textDans ce livre qui parcoure l'architecture contemporaine en Belgique, ma participation se réduit à la publication de deux de mes bâtiments. Geert Bekaert le plus grand critique belge depuis la guerre, avec plus de mille textes tous importants, a choisi un de mes bâtiments pour la couverture. Ce qui fût un grand honneur. Geert Bekaert a aussi choisi quelques extraits de mes textes qu'il aimait beaucoup. Bekaert considérait évidemment mes bâtiments comme le fruit d'une recherche
Crear la realidad. La obra de Geert Bekaert = Creating reality. The work of Geert Bekaert
No full textResumenGeert Bekaert nació en 1928 en Kortrijk, Bélgica, y escribió profusamente sobre arquitectura a lo largo de su vida, mayoritariamente en su idioma neerlandés, y sus ensayos se han recogido en nueve volúmenes publicados entre 1985 y 2011. El propio año 2011, cinco años antes de su muerte acontecida en 2016, ha aparecido un libro recopilatorio en inglés cuyo título es Rooted in the Real, editado por su discípulo Christophe Van Gerrewey. Este examina en la Introducción la trayectoria del crítico belga y proporciona ciertas claves sobre sus intereses y la repercusión de sus ideas, destacando el compromiso de Bekaert con su lengua original y el hecho de que, geográficamente, se sitúe entre un país sin apenas tradición arquitectónica como Bégica y otro con una concentración extraordinaria de producción y teoría de arquitectura moderna como es Holanda.El libro se divide en cuatro partes: la primera dedicada a temas generales de la arquitectura, la segunda al comentario sobre una serie de arquitectos belgas y las dos restantes la obra de distintos arquitectos relevantes en el ámbito internacional, desde Le Corbusier a Rem Koolhaas. El título elegido para la antología se basa, según el editor, en la concepción de la arquitectura por parte de Geert Bekaert como una forma esencial de crear realidad, es decir, en su creencia de que la arquitectura actúa fundamentalmente como mediador, haciendo la vida, si no mejor, más soportable y aceptable
Creating reality. The work of Geert Bekaert
No full textAbstractGeert Bekaert was born in 1928 in Kortrijk, Belgium, and wrote extensively about architecture throughout his life, mostly in his Dutch language; his essays have been collected in nine volumes published between 1985 and 2011. That same 2011, five years before his death in 2016, his disciple Christophe Van Gerrewey edited a book compilation in English; it was entitled Rooted in the Real and in its introduction, this editor examines the trajectory of the Belgian critic and provides certain clues about his interests and the repercussion of his ideas, highlighting Bekaert´s commitment to its original language and the fact that he is situated geographically between a country with hardly any architectural tradition as Belgium and another with an extraordinary concentration of production and theory on modern architecture such as the Netherlands.The book is divided into four parts: the first one is committed to general themes of architecture, the second to commentaries on a series of Belgian architects and the other two to the work of different relevant international architects, from Le Corbusier to Rem Koolhaas. According to the editor, the title of the anthology was chosen based on Geert Bekaert´s conception of architecture as an essential way to create reality, that is, in his belief that architecture acts fundamentally as a mediator, making life, if not better, at least more bearable and acceptable

The right to architecture : Geert Bekaert (1928-2016), a critic from Belgium
No full textGeert Bekaert, who died in 2016 at the age of eighty-eight, published more than 1200 essays, reviews, newspaper articles, editorials, opinion pieces, anthologies, monographs, and television scripts. This article presents the production and method of this architectural writer from Belgium to an international audience. It offers a chronological overview of the choices Bekaert made as a critic. Rather than once and for all judging his as of yet unexamined contribution to architectural discourse, the aim of this text is to hermeneutically summarise his theoretical and historical position towards more canonical developments, and to highlight it as a possible subject for further critical research. Bekaert, as a professor and public intellectual who wrote in Dutch, constantly combined theory, criticism, and history. He belongs to a generation of twentieth-century generalists who were active before the fragmentation of architectural discourse. Instead of serving as an 'operative critic' by advocating one style, Bekaert challenged doxas, among others, by defending the work of specific architects against pessimist or naive critics. He reacted against what was going on architecturally, discriminated between what he considered to be commendable or reprehensible positions, and connected oeuvres or buildings with contemporary theoretical problems, such as religion, housing, society, history, city, and culture. Virtually unknown in the English-speaking world, his writings can be interpreted as an idiosyncratic anthology of postwar western architecture culture. But they also serve as a defence of the public and intellectual conversation about the possibilities of architecture within modern society
