The transformation of the city block offers an opportunity to rethink the National Bank as the Future Bank. A transformation which critiques the existing building, whilst reconfiguring the bank into a more permeable place in both physical and organisational form. The project aims to rethink the relation of the bank’s employees to each other and to the building they physically inhabit whilst rethinking the buildings relation to the city. As the bank is a place of intelligence work, with a public responsibility that regulates, directs, monitors and guides the local and global economies, the project Future Bank recreates the role of the Bank in society as an agent for change. Putting the building central, it is used as physical tool to be able to transform as an organisation. The design proposal for this transformation is based around the adaptive re-use of the vast existing complex.
