Muze'um L, Light & Landscape

Billed as "a catalyst for cultural events around light, lines and landscape," the Muze'um L is designed by architect Marc Van Schuylenbergh to operate "as a monumental light generator transforming the local longitude to a light meridian, where the central artist is the sun." This light meridian is an imaginary line parallel to, and just over three degrees (3° 7' 45", to be precise) east of, the Prime meridian; the line cuts through the site and is marked by a low, white building and a strip of vegetation across Bergstraat.

The path of the sun is celebrated with a cut in the roof that allows the sunlight to draw lines of light in the space. A particular emphasis is put on solar noon (a different time each day, due to the earth's elliptical orbit), when the sun is projected onto the walls and floor as a perpendicular line of light.
