This time around we look at the “North Residency”, a housing slab built in 1974, located the back of Brussels’ North Railway Station. Barely 35 years [...]

A short inter-European flight from Brussels to Stockholm was followed by a longer Stockholm-Beijing flight. Only the first leg of the travel provided excellent conditions for aerophotography, especially while flying over a cloudless Belgium and The Netherlands. While figuring out [...]

The conditions for aerophotography were perfect; a windowseat and a morning flight. Leaving under a bright blue and open sky we flew North, with a excellent view on the 17 km Vasco da Gama Bridge, and landed hours later in a characteristically cloudy Belgium. Leaving [...]

While leaving and landing, some additional “aerophotographical” archiving was done. No tacky wildlife-shots from airballoons, no shoots from helicopters while using a tilt-shift lens but snapshots while ascending architectures, while diving and touching down in cities.

Driving through it, one is forced to rethink one’s “Chinese” perception of urbanization. Belgium is fully peri-urbanized, offering a strongly mixed territory of housing developments, roads, warehouses, churches and open fields. Some coined “nebular city” for this development which is most visible in Flanders, [...]
