Gérald Ledent is an architecture professor at UCLouvain in Brussels, where he teaches theory as well as in various studios. His PhD thesis, Potentiels Relationnels, explores the relations in dwelling between spaces and uses illustrated by an atlas of more than 10 000 housing units in Brussels. Ledent plays a coordination role in the Uses&Spaces research team, in which his interests focus on the relationship in architecture between uses and spaces, housing typo-morphologies and research by design. His latest publications include Sustainable Dwelling (PUL, 2019), a book that examines the social and spatial dimensions of housing from a sustainability perspective ; Institutions & the City: The Role of Architecture (Park Books, 2022) that explores the role of architecture in establishing and perpetuating social structures and ideologies ; and Brussels Housing. Atlas of Residential Building types (Birkäuser, 2023). Ledent also has an extensive experience as a practioner in the fields of public buildings and collective housing developments in Belgium and abroad. He is the co-founder of KIS studio (Keep It Simple studio), which aims to avoid unnecessary complexity in order to focus on the essentials.
