Episode Synopsis

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.Concept, realisation and editing: Angelique Campens Coaching & sound: Raf Enckels (Herculeslab)Soundwork & mixing: Melissa RykeOpening and closing theme Glenn Miller "String of pearls"Visuals: design by Veronika Akopyan and photography by Michiel DevijverProject participants:  Veronika Akopyan, Zoë Brennan, Luna Van Bellingen, Menno Eggink, Milan George, Davide Musco,  Jose Zapata Usma, Aagje Vandriessche, Baue Vercammen, Delphine Vo and Hilke WalravenProduction: Angelique CampensCoproduction: Nomadic School of ArtsWith the support of: KASK School of Arts, Europe NextGenerationEU, Nomadic School of Arts
