Description: In this 'literary architecture book' Philippe Viérin (noAarchitecten) returns to the time of his great-grandfather. Jos Viérin, also an architect, played a leading role in the reconstruction of the Destroyed Regions. After the First World War, the Belgian state decided to reconstruct the cities and villages on the front line 'à l'identique', which have been razed to the ground.
