The eye-catching, animated neon sign at the former Bacteriological Institute in Leuven (BE), now an art studio, is the perfect result of a fruitful collaboration between architect Arnout Van Vaerenbergh, sign maker New Neon, end customer KU Leuven and LED supplier Vivalyte.
KU Leuven reopened their BAC Atelier on the 24th and 25th of April in Leuven. BAC Atelier is an art studio from KU Leuven, running since 2016 and reopened in 2019. It’s a place where art en science meet. Dressing the building has been quite a challenge, since it’s listed as a historical monument.
There were lots of practical aspects to consider: the frame couldn’t be any thicker than 10cm to fit in the construction, the lights had to be visible also during daylight and most importantly: the lights should be programmable and couldn’t flicker or have a long start-up time.
