At first sight Temple, recently built in Belgium, is clearly not Notre Dame: it is too small, and even simpler. However, such are almost all small churches in the vicinity of Limburg. And at second glance, there is simply no temple. Half structure, half transparent ligature, which either disappears or appears right before your eyes - this is what it is, heavenly temple in Limburg, one of the most wonderful material allegories of faith.
Arnout Van Vaerenbergh and Pieterjan Gijs - these are the names of the architects who created disappearing heavenly temple … To the readers of Kulturologiya. Ru, the creative couple "Gijs Van Vaerenbergh" is known for their previous, also inspired project: an inverted dome inside a church. But honestly, compared to their sky-transparent temple in the Belgian city of Limburg, this is just pampering.
The ten-meter-high temple is built of 100 layers and 2,000 steel columns. The columns alternate in a strictly verified way - so that you can see the entire temple only from certain points. The building standing on a hill looks different in different weather, it changes with every step, no one can be sure that they have seen it the same two times … And nevertheless, the temple remains the same as it was.
"Reading between the Lines" is the name of the project of which this translucent church is a part. Who would have thought that a whole temple would fit between the lines! However, the ghost building is not suitable for service. Heavenly temple - this is just a reason to think about the gradual desolation of churches, or about the illusory belief in something invisible and ghostly, or about its fragility, or hundreds of other things. That's why he is a symbol.
