The territorial perception of the Duchy of Brabant in historiography and vernacular literature in the Late Middle Ages Universiteit Antwerpen
The medieval duchy of Brabant was composed of several geographical and territorial elements. This composite structure was generally known, but is not entirely reflected in Brabantine historiography.

Images of modern-day China in Chinese-European literature since the Second World War Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Community initiatives as a catalyst for regeneration of heritage sites: Vernacular transformation and its influence on the formal adaptive reuse practice. Universiteit Hasselt
Over the past few decades, the adaptive reuse of buildings—transforming them to meet new functional and aesthetic needs and requirements—has become a highly specialized domain within architectural and conservation practice, and is becoming a field of scholarly study in its own right. However, in juxtaposition with this highly specialized practice, people reuse and adapt all sorts of buildings in spontaneous and informal ways in a process we call ...
