The exhibition illustrates the vast scope of Roelandt’s body of works, zooming in on iconic project such as the Aula Academica, Antwerp Entrepôt Royal, Ghent church of St. Anne and a design of a monument in honour of the battle at Waterloo in London. Presenting sketches and preliminary drawings, the exhibition illustrates the process of architectural design in the 19th century.
