BARTÓK IN SPACE AND TIME

Bartók in Space and Time captures a unique encounter between architecture and music, between space and time, referring to an experimental evening at Bozar, Brussels. Led by conductor Gábor Káli, Flanders Symphony Orchestra per-formed Béla Bartók’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (1937), while Robbrecht en Daem architecten mirrored this music into architectural bodies. The dialogue between these two disci-plines is illustrated and explained by drawings, calculations, images, sources of inspiration and notes, including an analysis by Mark Delaere, expert in twentieth-century music.

Founded in 1975, Robbrecht en Daem architecten has since built up a unique body of work renowned on an international level. Paul Robbrecht, Hilde Daem and Johannes Robbrecht always strive for that extraordinary space, that unforgettable place. Their architecture is never antago-nistic but always engaged in a dialogue with the users, with the surrounding context, with history, with artists.
