BRUSK Art Gallery in Bruges

Light-Catcher in the Old Town

 - Jakob Schoof

Seen from the air, the Brusk exhibition building looks like a spaceship that has made a stopover in Bruges' Old Town. From a pedestrian's perspective, it barely stands out in the cityscape. Paul Robbrecht explains why the building was constructed at this location and how its design relates to the neighbourhood.
