Architects Gijs Van Vaerenbergh
Gijs Van Vaerenbergh is a collaboration between architects Pieterjan Gijs and Arnout Van Vaerenberg. Since 2007, they have worked together on a number of exceptional projects in public spaces and galleries.
Gijs Van Vaerenberg moves away from traditional buildings and creates works of art based on typical architectural shapes such as an arcade, a church, a gate…
Bringing art into architecture, they transform a space by adding a single sculpture or installation. Gijs Van Vaerenbergh makes work that sticks in the public memory, even if people don’t always know who the artist is.
