. This building came to be known as the Maison du Peuple. Both the floor and the roof were retractable. This innovative project helped Bodiansky solidify himself as both an engineer and an architect, as his design made the market more versatile (by providing both food and entertainment).

Bodiansky met Le Corbusier during the Second World War, and together they organized a team of architects and engineers to engage in the postwar reconstruction. This

Later, structural parts of the building were used in the "Horta Grand Café" in Antwerp and some of the original pieces can still be found in the Horta premetro station in Saint-Gilles.

was demolished in 1965, and a skyscraper was built on its site. Its demolition has been regarded as an "architectural crime" and an example of "Brusselization". Victor Horta was commissioned by the Belgian Workers' Party to build a grandiose people's house on Emile Vandervelde Square. He was assisted for this project by Richard Pringiers, who was to become the appointed architect of the party. In spite of a rather restrictive, very irregular plot along a circular square and on a slope, Horta succeeded to construct a

Its demolition in 1965, in spite of an international protest by over 700 architects, has been described as one of the greatest architectural crimes of the twentieth century.

His masterpiece "Le Sang Noir" was notable for its departure from his earlier, more straightforwardly socialist literature, since it contains elements of what was later associated with an existentialist or absurdist vision.

Coty was also a fierce anti-Semite. In a long series of articles in "L'Ami du peuple", he accused Jewish bankers and financiers of enacting "bloody, rapacious, inhuman, tyrannical policies" that had

Vengeur du Peuple ("Avenger of the People") was a 74-gun ship of the line of the French Navy. Funded by a "don des vaisseaux" donation from the chamber of commerce of Marseille, she was launched in 1762 as "Marseillois". She took part in the naval operations in the American Revolutionary War in Admiral d'Estaing's squadron, duelling "Preston" in a single-ship action on 11 August 1778, taking part in the Battle of the Chesapeake where she duelled HMS "Intrepid", and

She remained in this state until 1794, with some repairs being conducted in 1785 and 1788. By February 1794 the still decommissioned, "Marseillois" had been renamed "Vengeur du Peuple", probably a response to the participation of the city of Marseille in the Federalist revolts of 1793.
