After a year and a half of intensive construction work, Matthias Belpaire, Infrastructure and Heritage Coordinator at VIERNULVIER, reflects on a crucial phase in the restoration of De Vooruit.
What happened during those 17 months, when large parts of this iconic Ghent landmark were closed to the public, while VIERNULVIER’s artistic programme continued without interruption?
In this lecture, Belpaire takes you behind the scaffolding, discussing structural interventions as well as concrete improvements in accessibility, safety and sustainability. He also looks at how spaces have been rethought and optimised for future use.
An engaging lecture for anyone interested in architecture, heritage and the living history of Ghent.
