La Fonderie is a non-profit organization created in 1983 by a group of committed residents and historians. It occupies the site of the former art foundry "La Compagnie des Bronzes". Our objectives are to preserve and make known the industrial memory of Brussels and that, more general, of work in all its forms.
La Fonderie is also a publishing house. We publish heritage, scientific and cultural works.
The original approach of the "Cahiers de La Fonderie" is to highlight the man, his work and his daily life. The articles in this historical review evoke the economic and industrial life of Brussels, the social and industrial heritage but also the history of the inhabitants of Brussels. We question the present and the future of the Brussels Region and its inhabitants from a historical analysis.

Zones Sensibles is a Belgian publishing house, based in Brussels and specialised in the sciences of men (and also benefiting from 15 years of experience in the publishing world).
‘Sciences of men’ here refers to a vast field of studies relating to the human in various guises (social, artistic, political, cultural v. natural etc.), a field which touches upon anthropology just as much as graphic novels, cultural studies as well as the history of medicine, the world of sound as well as the geographical world, urban environments as well as uninhabited ones.
With a reasonable rhythm of publications (as growing your readership needs time), and supported by a committee of international scientific sponsorship, Zones sensibles will offer works in a variety of subjects, coming from different voices (renowned university academics as well as young authors), and more often than not translated. The points of view from outside being as important, if not more so, than those coming from within.

In 2016 was created the Translation and Interpreting Department of the new Faculty of Letters, Translation and Communication (LTC), named Termisti, at the Université libre de Bruxelles (University of Brussels).
As Termisti was not of sufficient size to form a facultative research centre within the folds of this university, it decided, after a period of reflection beginning in 2016, to found a new centre of research, with a wider range of competences. It now welcomes around thirty researching teachers, teachers and doctoral students from all departments of the Faculty LTC, around three main areas of research:

1. The science of translation and interpreting;


2. The teaching of languages, cultures and literature;


3. The workings of languages, and aids to translation.

Fourre-Tout Editions aim, at their own level, to lead a reflection on books, regarding their conception and distribution.
Each book is proof of the desire to develop a communication tool and a cultural presence, an efficient megaphone intended to bring architecture into the cultural field.
The terminology ‘Fourre-Tout’ ("holdall") is a reference to the principle of assembling documents ‘posés sur la table’ (on the table), which make up a presentation of book-objects around which cluster various contributions. Fourre-Tout involves itself in different paths which all converge towards one evaluation and creative participation in the cultural field of architecture.

Courgette Editions grew from an unconventional seed !
Since 2021, Courgette Editions has been cultivating printed, digital, and audio works that transcend traditional literary norms. It offers intimate perspectives that become political, and introduces alternative viewpoints that challenge established conventions. The press provides space for unconventional imaginations and lived experiences, as well as themes that disrupt stereotypes and societal frameworks?through literature, poetry, art books, and educational tools.
The formats are multiple, but the commitments are constant. Each publication is conceived as an ethical editorial act: local printing, paper from sustainably managed forests, non-toxic inks. Every link in the production chain is fairly compensated. Overproduction of both works and prints is deliberately avoided with a strong emphasis on creating meaning.
In 2025, Courgette Editions signed the charter for the Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence, an initiative led by the Belgian Francophone Book Interprofessional Association (PILEn). Publishing differently also means thinking differently.
Courgette Editions welcomes co-publishing, translation, and partnership opportunities with publishing houses that share its values of sustainability, inclusivity, and engaged creativity. Its authors are eager to see their work resonate across borders?on human, political, and poetic levels.
Finally, Courgette Editions is a member of the French-speaking Belgian Publishers Association and the Association of Singular Publishers. It supports the International Alliance of Independent Publishers. It is also recognized by the Federation Wallonia-Brussels.
