Competition Program

Task

• The European Parliament is present in 3 locations: Strasbourg, Luxembourg, and Brussels. • Subject of the competition is the renewal of the Paul-Henri SPAAK Building, the Brussels Chamber building of the European Parliament in the centre of Brussels with a total area of approx. 84,000 sqm GFA. The notion of “renewal” covers all approaches between a “renovation” of the building, and a “reconstruction” of the building. It is one of the main components of the competition task to identify the right approach. • Between 12 to 15 groups of architects, as lead members, together with structural engineers and environmental experts will be selected through an open prequalification procedure • Deadline for the submission of applications is July 9, 2020 • Working period: September to November, 2020 • An internationally renowned professional jury will review the submissions • A total sum of approx. 1.5 Mio Euro (net) is intended for prizes and honoraria The task of the competition Renewal of the Paul-Henri SPAAK Building is to provide the best solutions for the renewal of the European Parliament Chamber building and its surrounding area. The future building must create the link between the urban and the natural, and become a symbol and integral part of the city and of the landscape. The winning proposal is expected to be a paradigm of architecture with an outstanding visual identity for the building and the Chamber Hall with a strong emphasis on environmental aspects. The design is to support the architectural quality of the city and will resonate with the European citizens as a representation of the power of their voice. Offering flexible spaces, the building should be easily adaptable to the EP’s development over time and at the same time constitute a model of sustainable and regenerative building.
