The only way the three towers could be built in the future is by disassembling the bottom parts of the towers that are already built and by using a deep foundation (pile foundation) to battle the unstable soil. After that the towers can be built. The only problem is money, though... ;)
Lovely animation! I study in Leuven and I've always found it a real pity they never finished the towers. If I ever have enough funds to pay for their construction, I will definitely do so ;) I was wondering about the music though: I can't seem to find this specific part of the 'kyrie' when I search the recording online (like on iTunes, Spotify etc.). What is the exact title? Thanks in advance!
If you have that amount of money, please tell me in advance :D Ok serious now, the Kyrie comes from a recording 'A Venetian Coronation 1595', with music by Gabrieli, from the Gabrieli Consort and Players. And the exact title is 'Kyrie'. Sorry, don't know more :)
Haha I will ;) I've found the complete recording online with the separate tracks (on several locations) but there is only a 'kyrie à 5' and a 'kyrie à 12' though none of them is the exact kyrie that's used in this video, unfortunately. But thanks for the help, will keep looking! At least this video has the recording in it :)
Maybe they could make those towers in another material than stones , all is kinda possible nowadays and in the futrure i'm pretty sure something could be made. Nice video ! The same happen with the hospital Sint Pieters Kliniek an unstable fundation is why that hospital is empty , because the underground of Leuven/Louvain is a maze of the Dijle river .
Are you saying in other words that the Dijle River has underground channels running through the bedrock (and so many of them as to form a maze)? If so, how deep beneath the surface do those channels run, and impacting how much of the area upon which the city stands? It would be a question of - in other words - drilling through the bad rock until a more stable part be reached. Once that good stratum is reached - and one has appropriate piles of masonry plus other materials sunk through the waterlogged layer to the dry part further below - THEN it would become possible to properly build upon that stretch and finally not only save those two buildings (and any others that are endangered by that unstable stratum) but to at long last complete them.
FANTASTIC!!!! Ah, how sad that both the funds were lacking - and that the ground beneath this beautiful church was so unstable!!! [If I understand correctly, it was not the surface of the earth that made things collapse but the bedrock beneath.] Great Flamboyant-Gothic (my favourite architectural style) church in all events even as it stands (the interior is resoundingly beautiful); however, having that trinity of openwork-spired towers plus the west-façade would have made it into an absolute masterpiece!!! Also, FANTASTIC simulation: one at times could have thought it more than realistic! Most definitely enjoyable as well as edifying - including the soundtrack choice. Even if it's not Flemish (e.g., Lassus), it's amply compatible in terms of the period AND of the mood as one makes tour after tour around what would have been a crowning jewel. My only suggestion is that it could move a little slower so that one can luxuriate yet more in the prodigious detail. BRAVISSIMO, Mr. Vanhellemont!!!!
Doodjammer dat dat niet is afgeraakt... Prachtig om te zien! En ook die tweede toren in Antwerpen had een groot verschil kunnen maken. Ik denk dat ze dat nu niet meer kunnen, en wellicht is dat ook compleet onbetaalbaar nu
Bien plus haut. Elle aurait du atteindre 170 metres. Une des nombreuses tours concues pour etre la plus haute au monde. Et meme maintenant, si on pouvait l'achever avant 2026, elle serait la plus haute tour d'eglise au monde.
It would probably be the most beautiful aswell as i think Tallest church in the world and Leuven would be one of the Most well known cities for its Outstanding landmark. It is already for the Magnificent town hall but this would top it a hundred times.
(ok, that's not 16th century Flemish music, but this piece matched excellently with the animation :o)) GADSAMME er is ZO veel Vlaamse polyfone muziek om uit te kiezen!
Door de stenen van de onderste gedeelte van de incomplete toren na te maken, maar dat is peperduur, en nog ook eens moeilijk, dus het zal nooit worden zoals het gepland was...... Jammer genoeg...
Is er een website waar je dit model kan bekijken? Prachtige animatie!
Ik had het graag zo willen zien vandaag.. helaas.. maar prachtig en diep ontroerend portret dat je hier maakt

Actually, that was in the past
Beautiful, extremely detailed work!
Absolutely incredible.

oh, but it is the 'Kyrie a 12', the 10th track on the album.
Oh great, thank you! Must have not heard it properly then, I thought it was in a different key for some reason ;) thanks again!
lol
Steen voor steen afbreken, gemane funderingen zetten en dan terug opbouwen? Dat is waarschijnlijk de enige manier om hem ooit zo hoog te krijgen...
really impressive work!
Fantastisch gemaakt.
Ben ook van Leuven en heb met zeer veel belangstelling gekeken.

Waardevol, fascinerend en mooi gedaan. Een loflied voor de gotische architectuur.
incredible i am speechless

VEEEEIIIIRRRRRRY NIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCEEEEEEE
how nice movie it is!!
I want to know the software name that exchang picture to movie.
+チャンネルきりん I used the programma VideoMach, videomach.en.softonic.com/
prachtige simulatie, prachtige muziek inderdaad !!!
Prachtig werk! Wow, la façade aurait approximativement une hauteur similaire à la cathédrale de Strasbourg!!
Bien plus haut. Elle aurait du atteindre 170 metres. Une des nombreuses tours concues pour etre la plus haute au monde. Et meme maintenant, si on pouvait l'achever avant 2026, elle serait la plus haute tour d'eglise au monde.
nice job !
Fantastic. What did you use to model it? Just plain Povray CSG? Or did you use some kind of CAD program?
+Will Ryan , nope, pure Povray CSG. It took a while, but the result is quite satisfying ;)
But but... What about the INSIDE???
De reden waarom het niet afgemaakt werd is omdat de ondergrond er niet voorzien is. Het ding zou instorten, anders had het er gestaan.
How did you model this?
Hoe zouden ze dat doen?
prachtig, spijtig voor Leuven het heeft niet mogen zijn
Stunning - had the West Front been built and survived - it would now be numbered among one of the great West fronts of Europe.
It would probably be the most beautiful aswell as i think Tallest church in the world and Leuven would be one of the Most well known cities for its Outstanding landmark. It is already for the Magnificent town hall but this would top it a hundred times.
Schitterend werk!!
UN-BE-LIE-VABLE !!! It is amazing !
Zou prachtig geweest zijn.. Jammer eigenlijk. Knappe simulatie
Jammer toch dat men niet wil overwegen om de Sint-Pieter ooit af te maken...
Fantàstisch gemaakt!!
Hoe hoe prachtig Ik ken dat omdat Ik in leuven woont
(ok, that's not 16th century Flemish music, but this piece matched excellently with the animation :o)) GADSAMME er is ZO veel Vlaamse polyfone muziek om uit te kiezen!
Wow, zéér knap!
Maar hoe kan men ooit aan dat geld komen?
Door de stenen van de onderste gedeelte van de incomplete toren na te maken, maar dat is peperduur, en nog ook eens moeilijk, dus het zal nooit worden zoals het gepland was...... Jammer genoeg...
strak! :)
Het probleem is de ondergrond.
Proficiat Yves
Schoonheid :'(
Tja, erg zonde....
excellent! but God does not exists!!
only the music is mind bendingly soulless, how can people even listen to it...
