On ‘t Zand, an open urban space near the station in Bruges, Robbrecht and Daem built a concert hall for Bruges when it was the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2002. Alongside the Halletoren, the Church of Our Lady and St Salvator’s Cathedral, this ‘Concertgebouw’ has become a landmark when driving into the city. A uniform external cladding in terracotta tiles hangs like dignified drapery over the volumes of the concert hall, fly tower and lantern tower, and accentuates the monolithic mass of the building. The concert hall, with its 1.300 seats, can be converted into a theatre for musical productions. The lantern tower contains a remarkable chamber music hall where about 320 people can look down on the musicians on the floor or look out over the city from seating in a rising spiral.
