MIPIM AWARDS
For 200 years, the headquarters of Société Générale de Banque, now BNP Paribas Fortis, have been located at 3 Montagne du Parc in Brussels. In the early 2010s, the question of renovating the historic building arose. In collaboration with the first Bouwmeester in Brussels, an international architectural competition was launched to imagine a new head office in place of the modernist building. This choice has been commented on at length and still divides the architects.
The new headquarters has just been inaugurated, in March 2022. Its 300 columns impress and raise questions. Caviar gives the floor to the various protagonists of this project to understand its challenges and strengths.
