123 Piano in City Pavilion Ghent Belgium Part 1
123 Piano: seven pianos seven artists seven locations
Everyone is allowed to play a tune - from August 14th until September 28th, 2013.
123 Piano is a musical project in Ghent, Belgium. On seven locations in Ghent pianos are placed and everybody is free to play them.
This one is located on Cityhall City Pavilion, Emile Braunplein, 9000 Ghent
The open City Pavilion is an architectural marvel with a magnificent roof. An eye-catcher made from glass, concrete and stone. It could be a song by David Byrne (Talking Heads). Under the City Pavilion one can find a grand-café. The concrete wall that encircles the small city-park on the lower second level invites everyone to enjoy a quiet moment. It is the perfect spot for reading, to take a rest or listen to a piano-intermezzo. Because it sure is all fun all together...

City Center Walk in Ghent - Belgium 4K Travel Channel
After we have parked the car in the garage reserved for us, we start our first city walk through the center of Ghent. We are in front of the Sint Michielskerk (Saint Michael's Church), built in the 15th century. The construction work was interrupted during the Huguenot Wars. The tower was not completed later due to a lack of money.
Inside there are paintings by Anthonis van Dyck, Gaspar de Crayer, and other famous painters. As festivities take place, we do not want to disturb anymore.
Now the Sint Michielsbrug (St Michael’s Bridge) lies in front of us. We now get the first idea of why Ghent is also called the Manhattan of the Middle Ages.
Behind the bridge rise the towers of the Sint-Niklaaskerk, the Belfry, and the St. Bavo Cathedral.
To the left, along the Leie, is the Hotel 1898 The Post and next to it the Gildenhuis van de Vrije Schippers. The free skippers acquired the building in 1530, before which it was the guild house of the millers' guild. Today it serves to represent the port of Ghent.
In the past, the shore of the Leie served here as an inland port. Today both the right bank Graslei and the opposite bank Korenlei with their listed houses and a multitude of café terraces are a popular meeting place for locals and tourists.
To the south, we discover a graffiti on the wall of a house, depicting the famous Ghent Altarpiece in St. Bavo's Cathedral.
Passing the Hotel 1898 The Post we reach the Korenmarkt, the main square of Ghent.
We take a look around and try to let the architecture of the individual buildings affect us. Next to the Sint-Niklaaskerk, we discover the Stadshal, the City Pavilion. Due to its unorthodox shape, we want to take a closer look at the hall later.
While we walk in the northern direction, a bus passes by, and we notice that it is a free electric bus for locals and tourists here in Ghent. The turquoise buses are easy to recognize.

Nachdem wir das Auto in der für uns reservierten Garage untergebracht haben, starten wir unseren ersten Stadtrundgang durch das Zentrum von Gent.
Wir befinden uns direkt vor der Sint Michielskerk (Kirche Sankt Michael), die im 15. Jahrhundert errichtet worden ist. Während der Hugenottenkriege wurden die Bauarbeiten unterbrochen. Der Turm wurde später aus Geldmangel nicht fertiggestellt.
Im Inneren befinden sich Gemälde von Anthonis van Dyck, Gaspar de Crayer und anderer bekannter Maler. Es finden gerade Feierlichkeiten statt, so dass wir nicht weiter stören wollen.
Vor uns liegt nun die Sint Michielsbrug, die St.-Michael-Brücke. Wir bekommen nun einen ersten Eindruck, warum man Gent auch das Manhattan des Mittelalters nennt.
Hinter der Brücke erheben sich die Türme der Sint-Niklaaskerk, des Belfried und der St. Bavo-Kathedrale.
Zur linken Hand, an der Leie entlang, befindet sich das Hotel 'die Post' und daneben das Gildenhuis van de Vrije Schippers. Die freien Skipper erwarben das Gebäude 1530. Davor war es das Zunfthaus der Müllerzunft. Heute dient es Repräsentationszwecken des Genter Hafens.
Ursprünglich diente das Ufer der Leie hier als Binnenhafen. Heute sind sowohl das rechte Ufer Graslei, als auch das gegenüberliegende Ufer Korenlei mit den denkmalgeschützten Häusern und einer Vielzahl von Straßencafés ein beliebter Treffpunkt für Einheimische und Touristen.
In Richtung Süden entdecken wir an einer Hauswand ein Graffiti mit der Darstellung des berühmten Genter Altars in der St.-Bavo-Kathedrale.
Am Hotel 1898 The Post vorbei erreichen wir den Korenmarkt, den Hauptplatz von Gent.
Wir sehen uns um und versuchen die Architektur der einzelnen Gebäude auf uns wirken zu lassen. Neben der Sint-Niklaaskerk entdecken wir die Stadshal, die Stadhalle. Auf Grund der unorthodoxen Form wollen wir die Halle später genauer besichtigen.
Bei unserem Spaziergang in Richtung Norden kommt uns ein Wandelbus entgegen und wir stellen fest, dass es auch hier in Gent einen kostenlosen Elektro-Bus für Einheimische und Touristen gibt. Die türkisfarbenen Busse sind leicht zu erkennen.

GHENT, BELGIUM - THINGS YOU WILL LOVE
#GHENT #BELGIUM
Despite being one of Belgium's oldest cities, Ghent remains small enough to feel cosy but big enough to be a vibrant, relevant centre for trade and culture. There's a wealth of medieval and classical architecture here, contrasted by large post-industrial areas undergoing urban renewal that give Ghent a gritty-but-good industrial feel.
In the centre, tourists remain surprisingly thin on the ground, but Ghent's large student and youth population means there's always people about, enjoying the city's fabulous canal-side architecture, abundance of quirky bars and good-value restaurants, and some of Belgium’s best museums.
The ancient city of Ghent has built up quite the gaggle of attractions through the ages, ranging from charming medieval quarters to contemporary architectural masterpieces. Here are 20 of the canal city’s must-visit spots, including idyllic overgrown ruins and the most coveted artwork of all time.

Ghent Belgium, Sun Apr 13, 2014
A lovely Sunday morning at the historical city center of Ghent, Belgium, by the Belfry tower (Belfort). The dragon at the tower's top protects Ghent from invaders. The belfry has been a UNESCO Cultural Heritage site since 1999. Behind it going through renovations is St. Bravo's Cathedral (St-Baafskathedraal). To the left is the City Pavilion (Stadshal), and behind me is St Nicholas' Church (St-Niklaaskerk).

Construction of a Blue-Green Roof system on a train Car in Gent, Belgium
For the City of Ghent a Blue-Green Demonstration Roof was built on a restored train car. This Blue-Green Roof system, or Polderroof, is characterised by a drainage system that stores up to 135 mm of rainwater and is capable of capillary returning the stored water to the plants in times of drought. Furthermore the train car demonstrates a wide variety of species in eco-zones varying from deep soil to open water, and boosts local biodiverse and several edible plant species. The goal of this project is to inspire builing owners, construction companies and project developpers to take part in building a climate proof Ghent.

[Public Space] Innovative Digital Display Exhibit at Ghent Light Festival, Belgium
Between the various light sculptures and installations at the annual Ghent Light Festival in Belgium, one exhibit really stood out. The spectacle was based on four LG 98-inch Super UHD displays, mounted onto four robotic arms. The graceful content is synchronised with the dynamically moving displays, creating a beautiful interplay between dance, music and technology. From an eyecatcher at an event to the centerpiece of a presentation, imagine what you can do with LG Super UHD IPS powered screens.
