I can see a poetic architect’s approach: reflective windows “frame” views of medieval surroundings on the exterior of the museum.
Museum stands out from regular Leuven streets as it is unusually bright in colour (pale sandstone colour) and homogeneous vs traditional Leuven red (much darker in shade) brick detailed and intricate façades.
