Perpetuating or Opposing the Terraced House
The bourgeois terraced house, Brussels’ dominant housing type as documented in the preceding chapter, is not the city’s only residential form. However, its importance in terms of numbers as well as in the city’s collective unconscious has made it a benchmark against which to compare all other housing forms in the territory, including those that existed before. Comparing other residential forms with the standard form of housing allows us to understand why and how they appeared on the Brussels territory, both before and after the golden age of the Brussels terraced house at the turn of the 20th century. Hence, this chapter aims to offer a genealogy of such residential forms, organised according to spatial and typological features rather than chronologically. While some resemble the dominant – referential – type, others diverge partially or completely from it.
