Rather than just providing an open space for events, the architects Marie-Jose Van Hee and Robbrecht en Daem sought, by meticulously positioning a market hall, to rectify an urban planing deficiency and reinstate the presence of old urban areas that had become unrecognisable in Ghent's historic heart. The building positions itself between Poeljemarkt, Goudenleeuwplein, and a new lower 'green' connecting to the 'brasserie', bicycle park and public toilets below the hall. And although the building clearly occupies a position on the 24,000m2 site, it fits in well.
