“I wanted to create a place where people could unwind. Hence the choice of lots of greenery and the spacious courtyard garden. A green environment relaxes.”
The vision of Shigeru Ban
“Wood, garden and people are the core concepts of this design. I wanted to create a place where people could unwind. Hence the choice of lots of greenery and the spacious courtyard garden. Green surroundings relax. In Japan, we have a term for this: Shinrin-Yoku. Unwind by immersing yourself in greenery.”
“In addition, I chose to use many wood accents, as I do in all my buildings. I like working with wood and the CO2 emissions are also much lower than if you work mainly with steel or concrete. BAN is a hybrid structure of concrete, steel and wood, with the wooden facade elements playing a signature role. The wooden facade is really my trademark and I am happy to be able to leave my mark on the streetscape of Antwerp in this way.”
View from park to Scheldt
The connection between people, building and surroundings is essential for the architect. Spacious terraces and winter gardens anchor the relationship with the adjacent landscape park and the unique, Japanese-inspired courtyard. The higher tower floors have unique panoramas of the Scheldt and the city in addition to a view of the park. In BAN, the surroundings and living space flow together harmoniously.
