At 300,000 sf (28,000 m²), the Brussels Shopping Pavilion urban masterplan takes shape from a custom musical score tailored for the site. It integrates multiple sustainable renewable energy systems to create a one-of-a-kind urban core in central Brussels.
Fluid concrete shells double as greenhouses, retail pavilions, and overhead shading structures, while connecting to underground transit and road networks. Each shell incorporates solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and passive and active environmental control systems. Interspersed courtyards provide dynamic public spaces, functioning year-round as outdoor terraces, fountain plazas, and seasonal ice rinks.
