Looks like a pretty normal, quaint little church right?
1
Belgian architect group, Gijs Van Vaerenbergh, built a church in Belgium, and it's pretty plain…from certain angles.
From others, the structure reveals itself to be something else entirely – a building that's almost entirely see through. The project, named "Reading Between the Lines," is a composition of 100 layers of stacked steel, that are equidistantly staggered in a way that illusively change in appearance based on where the viewer is standing.
Wrong…oh so wrong

This is most certainly not your normal church. Not even close.

When looking at it laterally, the structure is entirely see-through.

But when looking at it head on, it appears much denser

And because it's made of steel, the structure also weighs a whopping 30 tons.
The intent behind its design, was for the church to be tangibly present…

But also visually absent at the same time.

Year-round, it attracts quite the crowd of mesmerized spectators…

But sometimes, that can be easier said than done
