 Something Completely Different. Architecture in Belgium (Cambridge/London
 : MIT Press\, 2024)\n"The contradiction between Belgium's reputation as 'a
  country without architecture' and the evident 'success story' of recent B
 elgian architecture makes the subject of Something Completely Different. P
 erceptively told\, sometimes with irony\, Van Gerrewey turns Belgium's tro
 ubled relationship with architecture into an allegory for the architecture
  of our times." Adrian Forty\n\nChristophe Van Gerrewey (ed.)\, matière
 s 18: la fin de l'architecture (Lausanne: EPFL Press\, 2024)\n"C'est grâ
 ce aux proclamations consécutives de sa fin que l'architecture continue.
  Pour rester en vie\, elle doit être déclarée morte à intervalles ré
 guliers. Ce numéro de matières veut examiner comment ce méchanisme a fo
 nctionné et continue de le faire. En d'autres termes\, la question posée
  est la suivante: de nos jours comme dans son vaste passé\, quel type de 
 continuité contient le concept d'architecture?"\n\nWith contributions by 
 Pier Vittorio Aureli\, Geert Bekaert\, Roberto Gargiani\, Marson Korbi\, E
 ric Lapierre\, Pauline Lefebre\, Bruno Marchand\, Charlotte Malterre-Barth
