‎Early Modern Urbanism and the Grid, Town Planning in the Low Countries in International Context. Exchanges in Theory and Practice 1550-1800‎

‎, , 2011 272 p., 220 x 280 mm, Languages: English,Paperback. ISBN 9782503540733.‎

‎From the late sixteenth century until around 1800, new ideas and practices of urban planning and the implementation of public buildings, water works and fortifications from the Low Countries were disseminated across Europe and America. Engineers, mathematicians and other scientists in the Low Countries applied methods of design and land surveying that were gradually assimilated and often modified following exchanges within local practice. In some cases, models were projected onto the existing situation. This phenomenon of disseminating and exchanging theoretical models and practical methods between the Low Countries, Europe and its colonies during this period developed into a new Early Modern Urbanism movement within the Western World. Grid-like plans figured prominently in these processes of dissemination and exchange. In the Low Countries, grid-like structures allowed a comprehensive approach to a multitude of complex problems in urban planning (for example, the connection of canals, streets and fortifications) in parts of existing towns, as well as in city extensions and ex novo cities. Moreover, the experimental approaches in Antwerp and other urban laboratories resulted in new theories on town planning and fortification as well. Given the distinct cultures of the Catholic Spanish Southern Netherlands and the Republican, Dutch Calvinist Northern Netherlands, the Low Countries provide an excellent case for studying the identity of urban forms. Both engaged in enormous expansion overseas, and the simultaneous exchange of practices between the southern and northern parts of the Low Countries lead to the combination of identities. In this new volume in the Architectura Moderna series, various scholars examine the dissemination of practical methods and theoretical models of urban planning from the Northern and Southern Low Countries, in addition to exchanges with local practices in Northern and Central Europe and in the New World. ‎

‎Low Countries at the Crossroads Netherlandish Architecture as an Export Product in Early Modern Europe (1480-1680)‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2013 Paperback, X+514 pages ., 350 b/w ill., 220 x 280 mm, Languages: English * NEW . ISBN 9782503543338.‎

‎This book focuses on the diffusion of architectural inventions from the Low Countries to other parts of Europe from the late fifteenth until the end of the seventeenth century. Multiple pathways connected the architecture of the Low Countries with the world, but a coherent analysis of the phenomenon is still missing. Written by an international team of specialists, the book offers case-studies illustrating various mechanisms of transmission, such as the migration of building masters and sculptors who worked as architects abroad, networks of foreign patrons inviting Netherlandish artists, printed models and the role of foreign architects who visited the Low Countries for professional reasons. Its geographical scope is as broad as the period under review and includes all European regions where Netherlandish elements were found: from Spain to Scandinavia and from Scotland to Transylvania. Konrad Ottenheym is professor of architectural history at Utrecht University, The Netherlands. He is specialised in the architecture of the Northern Low Countries and its international relationships. Krista De Jonge is professor of architectural history at Leuven University, Belgium. She is well known for her publications on the architecture of the Southern Low Countries of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in a European perspective. Review "Since some decades now the research paradigms of Netherlandish art history have changed, a change in which editors of the present volume and some of its authors have participated as protagonists. (...) As so often, it is more difficult than anticipated to transform ideas into action (...). To overcome such resistance in a collective European effort requires not only scholarly excellence but also patience and first rate abilities in communication and organization, such as manifested by the editors of this volume. (...) It is this reviewer's wish that the book becomes required reading in the foundation course: "European Architecture of the Early Modern Period" for all students of art history (...). Even at the risk of practicing a form of political appropriation of the project, it should be stated that "Crossroads" is an architectural history of the Early Modern Period for an open society." (Thomas Fusening, translated by Kristin Belkin, in: Historians of Netherlandish Art, 2014, www.hnanews.org/hna/bookreview) "(...) the scope of the book is breathtaking." (Gordon Higgott, in: The Architectural Historian, 1, 2015) "The great interest of this book lies in the quality of every essay, demonstrating the leading role of the Low Countries in spreading the revival of architecture in Northern Europe. By connecting global analyses with detailed explorations of the careers of artists, building masters, and engineers, the contributors put the Low Countries in their real place, as central and dynamic, and certainly not inferior to France and Italy." (Roger Noel, in: Renaissance Quarterly, 69, 1, 2016, p. 249-250) "Dit achtste deel in de Architectura Moderna-reeks biedt een uitstekende stand van zaken van het huidige wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar de export van ?Nederlandse? architectuur in de rest van Europa. (...) De bijdragen in The Low Countries at the Crossroads blazen een nieuwe wind in de behandeling van dit onderwerp en is essentiele literatuur over de rol van de Nederlandse architectuur in Europa in de Vroegmoderne tijd." (Oliver Kik, in: De Zeventiende Eeuw, 31(2), p.353?354).‎

‎Transregional Territories. Crossing Borders in the Early Modern Low Countries and Beyond‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 262 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:7 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503584935.‎

‎Summary The early modern world was one of movement, contact, and exchange. Yet, this does not mean that it was borderless. On the contrary, connection existed only when people moved along and across the separations between polities, religions, and mentalities. So in order to understand early modern connections, one also needs to analyse the boundaries that accompanied them. In Transregional Territories, the early modern Low Countries are chosen as a 'laboratory' for studying border formation and border management through the lens of transregional history. Eight different cases highlight the impact of boundaries on the actions and strategies of individuals and governments. Crossing borders in early modern times was not merely an act of negating a territorial division, but rather a moment of intimate interaction with the separation itself. As such, this volume illustrates how borders forced historical actors to adapt their behaviour, and how historians can use a transregional vantage point to better understand these changes. The cases are presented by leading border specialists and scholars of the early modern Low Countries: Fernando Chavarr a M gica, Victor Enthoven, Raingard Esser, Yves Junot, Marie Kervyn, Christel Annemieke Romein, and Patricia Subirade. Bram De Ridder, Violet Soen, Werner Thomas, and Sophie Verreyken are all members of the Early Modern History Research Group of the KU Leuven. Together, they have published extensively on transregional history and the history of the early modern Low Countries, grouped under the label of transregionalhistory.eu.
