The ambition of the National Bank of Belgium's project was to make a National institution accessible to the public. By opening the bank, both ideologically and physically, the dynamic of the bank is radically modified. The confrontation between the Bank and the public provides opportunities to gather, learn and improve. The change is subtle from the outside but radically modifies the way the bank functions.
The creation of a series of spaces within the bank directed towards the different publics of the bank and brings the domestic sphere into the institution itself.
The Bank of Opportunities is a space fostering a new kind of Bank and community.
