The project is to transform Belgium National Bank into a working environment capable of accommodating diverse activities. Given its economic capacity and social responsibility, the bank also has a public attribute that allows it to accommodate specific public events.
propose to open part of the bank's space as a financial culture center, mainly an exhibition and library related to financial themes. Since the bank is located on the border of the upper and lower town of Brussels, the financial culture center also undertakes the task of connecting the site with an 8 meters height difference. So I created a new public landscape circulation through ramps and three staircases, inviting people to enter the bank to experience the newly inserted public facilities and the existing delicate bank building.
For the office space above the first floor, the existing atrium is very barren and unused. So I propose to put balconies with plants in the atrium to make them like hanging gardens. Employees can relax or chat on the balcony, providing an opportunity to relax from a busy work schedule.
