Sumario:The article focuses on Frame, a new building in Brussels designed by the architecture firm Baukunst in collaboration with French practice Bruther, as part of a media park redevelopment project. The structure, which stands 100 feet tall and spans 91,500 square feet, features an innovative exoskeleton design that allows for column-free floors and incorporates external mechanical systems. The building's southern facade is designed to function as a giant billboard, utilizing agricultural windbreak fabric as a sunlight filter, while its interior includes various spaces for tenants, including studios for the local news station BX1. Despite challenges during construction, including rising costs due to external factors like the COVID-19 pandemic, Frame exemplifies a High Tech architectural style focused on functionality over aesthetic glamour.
