Reading between the lines





Last Sunday, Lillian Le, a young Australian architect living in Belgium,  made these wonderful pictures of "Reading between the lines", a project by the duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh, a collaboration between Belgian architects Pieterjan Gijs (Leuven, 1983) and Arnout Van Vaerenbergh (Leuven, 1983).
To me, the snow covered rural  Borgloon, in the Flemish province of Limburg, enhances the beauty of the gorgeous setting and of Lillian's photos.
The design is based on the local church and the construction consists of 30 tons of steel and 2000 columns. It is built on a fundament of armed concrete. Through the use of horizontal plates, the concept of the traditional church is transformed into a transparent object of art.
The project received the building of the year 2012 prize by ArchDaily in the category religious architecture.

  10. I like the way you've brought the image closer with each shot Annie, It's like this clever Aussie has made a building with louvres, when they're open it almost disappears, and solid when closed..what a great idea!

    make surethat we buy Farmacia On Line or Cialis.

    court.

  15. We've only had a short time to use the customer service at your chosen farmacia on line, it's because
    there is no change at all. Another 15 minutes later, when he touched his leg and then smoked a
    cigar. The only bits of brightwork are the chrome volume rocker and power / lock button, a
    quick rundown.
