Gijs Van Vaerenbergh realized internationally acclaimed projects such as Reading between the Lines
The works of duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh inevitably demand to be framed within architecture or the visual arts
and yet neither of both frameworks are fully satisfactory
Founding architects Pieterjan Gijs and Arnout Van Vaerenbergh developed since their studies a parallel practice in which they employed their technical and theoretical know-how for an experimental research
The output of that research varies from works in the public space and architectural structures to sculptures and smaller work

generating an enclosure defined by a complex range of dimensions
the resulting ‘viewing machine’ emphasizes a composition of voids that reveal their bucolic surroundings. the pavilion serves as part of a thematic formal investigation taken on by the duo
images by matthijs van der burgt
gijs van vaerenbergh designed each vaulted space to frame a fragment of the surroundings: the cemetery
the surrounding landscape and the allotments on the other side
depending on the viewer’s perspective, the pavilion also frames fragments of itself
this creates a pictorial play of arc in arc that brings to the fore the way the play of light affects the vaults
the pavilion functions as a kind of ‘viewing machine.’ while the occupiable space is primarily reserved for the subtracted void
a thickening of one column introduces enough volume to accommodate a subtly integrated lavatory space
the ground surrounding the pavilion was conceived to emphasize the entrance as a staging area to the cemetery
a dark concrete surface was subdivided to a fractured pattern
referencing the broken and blackened landscape during the time of the war
concrete fragments were strategically removed to make space for greenery and planting
this new ground functions both as a paved square for parking and a park with lush greenery that connects with the green cemetery
