Black skirtings merge into black door reveals, helping the partially sighted navigate corridors. Black door handles contrast with white laminated doors. Even the principles of camouflage have been employed. White handles on white doors for staff are effectively invisible for those who shouldn’t be trying them. Retirement apartments too benefit from the stagger; though here it’s externally. From outside their ‘L’ shaped living and bedroom glazed walls, balconies are shielded from each other, making incidental visual connection between adjacent flats possible but not prescribed; giving elderly residents control over their level of privacy or engagement. Both details, Taillieu argues, respect individuals’ dignity.

creatives while using business as a force for good and what we all stand to lose if they disappear Belgian writer Jan Van den Bossche published a book looking at volkscafé culture in the Antwerp province so Van den Bossche took his son Jef along on his research a French drinking song by Belgian pop singer Grand Jojo but he still remembers the journeys – much to the amusement of his father “I think [the trip] was something like mother’s milk,” laughs Jan Fast forward to 2022 and Jef has self-published a photography book centered on volkscafés he traveled to bars all over Belgium to capture their spirit – and he brought his father with him “What intrigues me about these places is that they incite an increasingly rare social interaction,” Jef explains in the book’s introduction “Volkscafés are meeting places for a cross section of society where customers simply get to be themselves know-it-alls and philosophers no longer get to solve world problems at their local bar Jan and Jef both sought out older establishments that had been in business for at least a couple of decades blotchy mirrors and traditional wooden paneling “In some cafés there were old guys sitting at one table But the thing [the volkscafés] all shared was that once you came in you didn’t need to wait long before someone started a conversation.” He wrote his book back in 2001 in a bid to help them Jef estimates that three or four of the 40 volkscafés he photographed between January 2018 and June 2019 have since shut down which had been run by the same family for three generations it would be demolished to make way for apartments “There were more than 500 people at the goodbye party there was a stage with people performing...It was really a very emotional goodbye,” he says “Now it’s [been replaced with] these small which have no cultural value for the historic town center The reasons for the volkscafés’ disappearance are complicated rising beer prices and taxes have led to poor sales which can lead to financial penalties from breweries when targets aren’t met have sold their buildings for high sums to property developers looking to replace them with flats But broader cultural shifts have played a part too Stricter drinking and driving laws and the rise of TV have given people a reason to stay at home while smartphones and computers mean they don’t need to get out to get the news or talk to their friends Smoking has been banned in cafés and bars across the country since 2011 (Once it was possible to head out to a volkscafé at 2am or much later many of Jef’s photos feel like something out of a time capsule while three more sit next to an old stove for warmth Photos taken at Café Bostella in Essen capture its then 87-year-old landlady picking up a sausage – an homage to the days when locals would sell sausages spirits and even clothes on her billiards table The practice came to an end after a visit from the health inspector “But from her little kitchen in the back.” there’s been a renewed interest in independent businesses and community initiatives young people have been drawn to the convivial volkscafé atmosphere “It’s about the importance of meeting,” Jan says and I talk with you and I talk with everyone.” While there’s an old-fashioned charm to the establishments he visited what Jef’s images really record is a way of life and a way of relating to others that we’d be all the poorer for losing Want (even) more WePresent?Sign up to our monthly newsletter You can read this article in 2 minutesTrans.INFO roadworks will be carried out on
