deSingel
deSingel stands in Antwerp, Belgium, as an arts centre where music, theatre, dance, architecture and education share one complex. Its halls, studios, gardens and exhibition space create a varied cultural setting.
Composer Peter Benoit imagined expanding Antwerp’s music conservatory in 1883. Léon Stynen and Paul De Meyer began the campus in 1968, shaping its pavilion around two gardens. The Blue Hall hosts classical music, while the Red Hall presents theatre and dance by artists including Romeo Castellucci and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. Stéphane Beel later expanded the complex, adding artists’ spaces, offices, courses and public areas. The site also accommodates the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp, the Flemish Architecture Institute and the Study Center for Flemish Music.
A transparent cube contains a multimedia reading room and the Leon deSingel Café. The building’s oval windows and connected foyers make its architecture part of the visit.
