Beskrivning

The influence and position of the ‘Generation 74’ in Flemish and international architecture. Five well-known architects who studied together in Ghent, Marie-José Van Hee, Christian Kieckens, Marc Dubois, Paul Robbrecht and Hilde Daem, can be considered as leading protagonists of their generation. From their education at Sint-Lucas Institute and the Academy of Fine Arts to the present day, their professional careers and legacy have been of great importance to the development of Flemish architecture. In their early works and writings, they established a distinct architectural language, rooted in historical knowledge and with a reflection to art and craftsmanship. Architecture was singled out as a spatial phenomenon with an autonomous logic grounded in inhabitation and experience. This generation represents a significant turn towards architectural autonomy in Flanders which resonated with similar international developments in the late 1970s. Moreover they played a decisive role in the emancipation and professionalization of the architectural culture in Flanders. This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).

Recensioner i media

Het sterk wetenschappelijk onderbouwde boek mag zich dan wel tot een ingewijd publiek richten, toch zorgt de diversiteit van de inhoud voor een geslaagd evenwicht tussen historisch naslagwerk en terugblikkend hommage , zonder hierbij aan samenhang te moeten inboeten. De inbreng van zowel historici, critici als wetenschappers, vormt een kostbare bijdrage tot de hedendaagse historiografie in Vlaanderen, waarvan de levendigheid en pertinentie eens te meer wordt aangetoond. We kunnen alleen maar hopen dat dergelijke werken een inspiratiebron kunnen betekenen voor de lopende herstructurering binnen de architecturale cultuur aan Franstalige zijde, om er een even kwalitatieve architecturale kritiek te promoten.Philippe De Clerck, A+, 03.10.2016
