Jeremy Melvin describes how Robbrecht en Daem Architecten's concert hall in Bruges provides one of the most exemplary medieval Flemish cities with a ‘window to modernity’. Exceeding mere juxtaposition of old and new, the architects have created a wholly sensory experience for their concert‐going audience, which embraces the ephemeral quality of musical performance with the physicality of architecture.
