The space can accommodate up to 1200 people. The courtyard, the largest outdoor courtyard in the city center, is now covered by five large membrane arches that respond to the arches and spans of the building. The membranes can be completely removed, leaving the heritage building intact.

Advantages of the Carre Des Art square canopy from the stretch canvas structure

The special structure of the Carre Des Arts square canopy was designed to allow very easy and quick handling from the ground and to integrate all the structural reinforcement according to the thickness of the existing concrete structure. Belgian artist Jean-Luc Moerman has drawn a vast network of curves on the courtyard's asphalt: a new floor echoing the new sky.
