Stadshal, Public pavilion in central Ghent, Belgium
The Stadshal features a large canopy structure with four concrete pillars and glass skylights that illuminate the space during both day and night.
Built in 2012 on former car park space, the pavilion transformed three smaller squares into a unified public area between the Belfry and Saint Nicholas Church.
The structure incorporates the restored Roeland Bell, known as The Triumphant, and displays a fresco by Michaël Borremans above the elevator door.
The northern section includes a bicycle parking station, public facilities, and a cafe serving Italian cuisine with regional products.
The building materials combine concrete, glass, and wood from Pericopsis elata trees, creating a modern contrast with the surrounding gothic architecture.
