Performing arts centre

Design of a performing arts centre around the protected industrial structures of an old concrete factory at the Old Docks in Ghent, Belgium.

A glass base forms the 'foundation' of the building where the theatre, a polyvalent room and the old concrete factory are plugged in with. This open and public base is the incentive of the complex.

The two main volumes of the rooms stand out by their height and materiality of glass fiber reinforced concrete louvers.
