Outline Concept
“The bank as a market place - The building is a landscape
The project completes the green belt connecting countryside, city and river.

A common base
The ECB is the base/landscape for the different/individual pavillons/countries.

Fences are landscaping
The security elements are mixed with landscape elements (Different levels in the ground water, fences with trees).

The centre of the building are oriented to the new internal garden and the river.
(Decision making body, computer center, vault)

The markethall is now part of a conglomerate of building.
It becomes part of the landscape of the city without losing its presence.

The interior of the Grossmarkthalle works like the market [that] used to work in this space.
The activities take place on the floor and the volume of the building is kept empty.”
