Inbook Reference Natuursteengebruik als urbanisatie-indicator stadskern Leuven
SAMENVATTING. Natuursteen is een duurzaam element in de bouwgeschiedenis en als zodanig een goede indicator voor bouwjaar, stijl en mogelijke renovatie. Natuursteengebruik wordt doorgaans geanalyseerd vanuit typologie, scha- depathologie, marktpenetratie of geografische verspreiding. Hieruit kunnen trends worden gehaald over aanwending en waardering. Informatie over de globale impact van natuursteengebruik in het straatbeeld, daarin inbegrepen de ver- naculaire woningbouw, ontbreekt. Om hieraan tegemoet te komen werd een systematische inventarisatie uitgevoerd van het natuursteengebruik in gevels van gebouwen gelegen binnen een historische stadskern. De Leuvense binnen- stad leende zich uitstekend voor dit onderzoek omdat er vrijwel continu is gebouwd gedurende de 19de en 20ste eeuw, zonder uitgesproken dominante stijlen of materialen. Kwalitatieve kenmerken zoals natuursteengebruik, bouwjaar en –stijl werden ingevoerd in een GIS bestand zodat de evolutie van het materiaalgebruik kan worden gekoppeld aan de voortschrijdende verstedelijking. Dit laat tevens toe pijnpunten inzake conservering of verwaarlozing vast te stellen. SUMMARY. Natural stone use as an indicator for urbanisation of the historical city centre of Leuven (Louvain). The use of natural stone for building follows trends depending on changes in availability and appreciation, but is generally analysed in selected historical buildings for specific issues such as typology, market penetration, geographi- cal distribution or decay. Belgian historical cities are showcases of natural stones, even if these are not dominating the cityscape. Because of its durability, natural stone is a conservative construction element reflecting the building history, hence can be used as a proxy for age, style and renovation. In order to assess the architectural impact of natural stone use on the street view, a systematic inventory of natural stone occurrence, including the vernacular, has been made for the historical city centre of Leuven. This city centre has been built up throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, without a clear dominance of styles or materials. Qualitative properties, such as stone identification, its constructive or deco- rative use, age and style of the building were coupled with a GIS database of the buildings of the city of Leuven. This allows to link natural stone use to the progressive urbanisation and to highlight cases of neglect or in need of more suited conservation strategies.

Article Reference New information, including anatomy of the secondary xylem, on the genus Brabantophyton (Stenokoleales) from Ronquières (Middle Devonian, Belgium)
Two pyrite permineralized stems and one root are reported from the upper Middle to lowermost Late Devonian (middle Givetian to lowermost Frasnian) locality of Ronquières (Belgium) and identified as Brabantophyton runcariense Momont et al. (Stenokoleales). The stems include a three-ribbed protostele with a central protoxylem strand and other strands disposed along the midplanes of the ribs; each specimen shows secondary xylem. Tracheids of both primary and secondary xylem show circular to elliptical, multiseriate bordered pits. Rays are 1–seriate to 4–seriate; their height is highly variable, ranging from 3 to more than 100 cells. The root includes a four-ribbed protostele. Each rib shows two exarch protoxylem strands. The root also comprises a ring of secondary xylem identical to that of the stems. The characteristics of the secondary vascular anatomy of Brabantophyton appear closer to the seed plants than to any other Devonian plant lineage. However, the presence of a bifacial vascular cambium is not demonstrated, which precludes a definitive assignment of the genus to the lignophytes. A hypothesis about the ontogenetic development of Brabantophyton is proposed on the basis of the different characteristics observed in the different stem specimens of the plant.
