This is the catalogue to an exhibition showing the results of an ongoing discovert in the field of construction history, done by UGent’s master students in engineering architecture during the last 4 years. Their analyses (short essay, digital model, 3D print, VR presentation) of 75 constructions serve to outline the development of building in concrete in Belgium, from 1890 onwards. Examples have been chosen from all parts of the country, displaying a variety of programmatic and constructional typologies. Well known classics go together with anonymous buildings – still existing or torn down. Churches, houses, world war shelters, museums, factories, mining constructions, university libraries, amusement halls, world’s fair pavilions. SORRY, ONLY IN DUTCH!
