Im Regelfall zwei- bis dreigeschossig und mit einem Garten auf der R?ckseite ausgestattet, bildeten sie den st?dtischen Block. In Br?ssel hat diese b?rgerliche Wohnform eine besonders vielgestaltige und bis heute inspirierende Ausformung erfahren. Diese Publikation analysiert 100 ausgew?hlte Beispiele dieser Typologie, zeigt aber auch ihre Weiterentwicklung in anderen Formen des Wohnungsbaus. So entstehen ein breit angelegtes Panorama sowie eine Architektur- und Entstehungsgeschichte der Stadt Br?ssel. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDie erweiterte Neuausgabe enth?lt ein Kapitel von Kristiaan Borret, dem ehemaligen \u003cem\u003ebouwmeester\u003c\/em\u003e der Stadt.

Ledent plays a coordination role in the \u003cem\u003eUses\u0026amp;Spaces\u003c\/em\u003e research team, in which his interests focus on the relationship in architecture between uses and spaces, housing typo-morphologies, and research by design. Recently, Ledent co-edited \u003cem\u003eSustainable Dwelling\u003c\/em\u003e (Brussels, PUL - PU Louvain, 2019), a book that examines the social and spatial dimensions of housing from a sustainability perspective.
