Abstract

The National bank of Belgium is envisioned as an open, transparent, publicly engaged institution that draws the city into itself, hopefully becoming a catalyst for change.
The attitude the project takes is to deeply understand and interrogate what exists before proposing changes
– imbibing the studio dictum of ‘economy of means’. As an outcome, the new and old buildings merge into one another and become a congruent whole – and hopefully, a successful ‘piece of city’.
