The Casino Kursaal in Ostend, Belgium, is a modernist structure that evolved through the contributions of multiple architects over time, including Paul De Meyer, Raphaèl Speybrouck, Emile Hellemans, Joseph Naert, Léon Stynen, Félix Laureys, Alban Chambon, Octave Van Rysselberghe, and Norman Foster, among others. Originally conceived as a casino and exhibition venue, the building reflects the principles of modern architecture and is now designated a protected monument in Belgium. Its layered architectural history reveals the iterative nature of its design and adaptation across different periods.
