Bruxelles, le 12 novembre 2009 – Les extrémités jouent un rôle décisif pour l’intégration du bâtiment dans son contexte urbain. Le projet VDAB s’ancre dans le contexte existant au coin de la Noordlaan-Drie Koningenstraat qui est mis en relation avec la rue principale et ses diverses fonctions publiques. C’est un point de rencontre intuitif situé au bord d’un large trottoir. La partie arrère peut être éventuellement agrandie, et se situe actuellement au niveau du jardin. | Symbioses of an office building and a landscape garden
Brussel, November 12, 2009 – Considering the urban anchoring of the site, the angles of this building block are the regulating elements. The VDAB-project anchors itself with the existing context on the corner of the Noordlaan-Drie Koningenstraat, which is in direct relation with various public functions (post, ministry of finances), located near the main road. It is an intuitive meeting point located on a wide footpath. The second angle is the location for a possible extension and is at present, included in the project’s garden.
