Geert Bekaert

Geert Bekaert (1928–2016) was a Belgian architectural critic and writer on art and design. He was one of the most prolific non-fiction writers in the Dutch language of the late 20th-century.[1] As a young man he was for some years a member of the Society of Jesus.[2]

Bekaert's collected essays were published in nine volumes, 1985–2012.[3] A selection of his essays has been published in English translation under the title Rooted in the Real (Ghent, 2008).[4]

In 2006 Ghent University acquired his library for its Faculty of Engineering and Architecture.[5]
