Dr<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yves Schoonjans (1960) is a Professor in architectural history and &#8211; theory at the University of Leuven (Department of Architecture), Belgium. He recieved a master of science in architectural engineering at the University Ghent (1984). From\u00a01985 till 1995\u00a0he had a private architectural practice with Gilles Van Bogaert. In his PhD-study (An 19th century eclectic discourse \u2013 social and architectural strategies to cope with abundance and diversity &#8211; University Ghent, Belgium) he tackles the way how the theoretical discourse on eclecticism is constructed.<\/p>\n<p>The research is focused in two intermingled lines. (1) The first line researches the \u2018mechanisms on theory-building\u2019 with a special attentiveness to the relation between theory and daily practice and the development of (ideological) discourses. In the research-methodology the focus is beside pure text also on other media and expression as images, construct of journals, manuals, artefacts, \u2026 and their interrelations. Architecture is tackled as a wide cultural phenomenon and its relation to ideas, discourses and practices. (2) The second research line is closely linked to the first and brings it towards \u2018modest heritage and local identities\u2019. Heritage is seen here as what we inherit, or, the built that is constructing the city. Also here the emphasis is laid on the development of informal and local discourses. Local identities play an important part towards understanding the existing fabric and the way it is appropriated, towards the use of collective spaces and sustainable urban development, interactive regeneration and adaptive re-use. He was involved as partner and lead-coordinator in different international programs (Erasmus, Mundus and ALFA) and participated in different project, especially in Latin America.<\/p>\n<p>Within the academic management he was Head of the education section \u2018History and Theory\u2019 from 2002 to 2008, program director of the International Master of Architecture \u2018Urban Cultures-Urban Project\u2019 and the International Master of Architecture \u2018Sustainable Architecture\u2019 (2008-2010), member of the board and as such director of master-programs (2009-2013). He was vice-dean Internationalisation 2013-16), vice-chair of the Research Department 2013-2018, chair of the Research Department 2019-2020, and dean of the Faculty of Architecture (2021-\u00a0\u00a0 ).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kuleuven.be\/wieiswie\/en\/person\/00009534\">http:\/\/www.kuleuven.be\/wieiswie\/en\/person\/00009534<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Publications: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lirias.kuleuven.be\/cv?u=U0009534\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/lirias.kuleuven.be\/cv?u=U0009534<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yves Schoonjans, Head of Research Group, prof.
