Ghent

Art and architecture have a deep interconnection. Both are made with the same organizing principles, the same visual elements and the same involvement of the senses. Art and architecture both have meaning. They are simultaneously expressive and communicative. After all, the artist ‘forms’ an object to visually express a complex set of ideas or feelings, and the audience receives that expression. In a sense, a work of art and an architectural structure can be considered similar because they externalize human experience in an organized, aesthetically thoughtful and expressive way.

These thoughts have led planopli — in addition to its portfolio of exclusive architecture tours with exceptional visits — to now be ready to outline exclusive art architecture tours with exceptional visits for dedicated audiences. The first trip uncovers unexpected and unprecedented places in its own country. In the spring of 2024, Copenhagen as a European destination will delight many an artistic heart. In the fall of 2024, Mexico will let us discover the artistic love affair between the two countries.

The first adventure continues in the architectural heart of Ghent. On Sunday, March 24, 2024, five artists and the architects of their studios will expose themselves. This offers a unique insight into the architectural place where art is created. Using the boat as an unexpected method of transportation, you will be exploring the relationship that context and architecture have on the creative process, in dialogue with the artists and architects.
The finissage of the day will take place at an architectural venue — with an outstanding art collection — that will be exceptionally open and where we will feed the inner man. Our food artist took inspiration from the locations visited so that you will relive the experience through your taste papillae.
