“Overnight“
The project aimed to enhance the two major squares of Leuven at nighttime: the Grote and the Oude Markt.
For each square, a different night-time atmosphere which corresponds to its uses was created:
– For the Grote Markt a neutral white lighting which highlights the solemn architecture of the historic buildings
– For the Oude Markt, a white warm lighting which creates an atmosphere that invites people to lounge was used. The profiles of the gables are highlighted by a cold white light, which changes according to the different phases of the moon.
A participatory workshop was organised to accompany this project.
