Small exploration of Namur. www.tumblr.com/heritagebrow...

Trump onderhandelt met Poetin en dumpt Europa: is dit het einde van de trans-Atlantische verstandhouding? www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20...

Echte mannen zijn niet bang van tampons: hoe Meta en X de geest van het vrije internet verraden www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20... Tim... ben het eens met je analyse. Waar is de geest van het internet van vroeger?

Some shots of the magnificent interior of Our Dear Lady church (O-L-Vrouwekerk) in Dendermonde, a provincial town in Flanders, Belgium.

Museo Nazionale de Villa Guinigi in Lucca, Italy. Capitals and other decorative architectural artifacts from Roman, Byzantine and early medieval period from the larger region around Lucca.

Not far, eastwards, from Ghent is located the castle of Laarne. A prime example of a late medieval defensive castle surrounded by a moat. Altered during later times to accommodate comfortable housing. The castle houses an important silver collection.

The Musée Condé, located in the magnificent Chateau de Chantilly, north of Paris has a very nice collection of paintings, once collected by the Duc d'Aumale during yhe 19th century. Here one of the galleries.

A year ago i visited an exhibition in Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris on 18th century french small luxury objects. The craftmanship was stunning. Some examples:

gofund.me/5422d7f7 The very sympathic YouTube -vloggers Patrick Beyrow and partner Stewart have bought a castle in France to save and restore it for the future generations. But they need some extra funding for the renovation of a small 18th century chapel.

The Royal Saint-Mary church of Schaarbeek. Louis Van Overstraeten, a young architect from Ghent, won the architectural competition in 1844 that was organized for the construction of a royal church. The church had to be located on the route that led from the royal palace of Brussels to that of Laken.

Zoals iedereen hier kan vaststellen: de groei van Bluesky gaat hard. Vanavond meer daarover in @terzake.bsky.social. @bramvdp.bsky.social praat met @isoldevde.bsky.social en @ljosmyndun.bsky.social.

One of the series of tapestries in the castle of Gaasbeek are the so-called Carrabara or Gypsy Suite dates from the Tournai studio of Arnould Poissonier and dates from ca. 1500-1525. More on tapestry and those on display in the castle of Gaasbeek and more pictures: www.tumblr.com/heritagebrow...

Exploring the grid. Old sketches i made of urban planning, with ottoman, byzantine architectural styles in mind, i was inspired by during my many visits to Turkey, in reaction to the contemporary urban planning. When using a grid, a variation of public spaces to create a sense of place is needed.

I will mainly share teasers of my more extended post you can find on my Tumblr. I hope to find others, on this new platform, with common interest in architectural conservation, art history, traditional architecture and urbanism. I also like art nouveau. I post mainly pictures by myself.
