Today, we are going to the Stadshal in Ghent. In this first episode of the think thank, we have the pleasure of speaking with the renowned architect Paul Robbrecht, co-founder with Hilde Daem of the architecture firm Robbrecht and Daem architects in Ghent. Starting with the Stadshal, designed by them in collaboration with Marie-José Van Hee, we will take a closer look at this covered public space in Ghent. This multifunctional venue serves for various events such as concerts, exhibitions, markets, and festivals, and is also a popular place to simply hang out. Together, we will be discussing Paul's experience in working in the public space, the importance of art in public spaces, and the different pavilions they have designed.
