Le bâtiment qui abrite le musée de la Banque nationale de Belgique (BNB) est un joyau architectural niché en plein cœur de Bruxelles. Inauguré par la BNB en 2010 après des travaux de rénovation, il a été imaginé en 1872 par l’architecte bruxellois Désiré De Keyser (1823-1897) pour le compte de l’Union du Crédit de Bruxelles (UCB).
Cette banque est créée à l’initiative d’entrepreneurs et d’hommes d’affaires bruxellois qui, au lendemain de la crise bancaire de 1848, décident de collaborer pour créer leur propre banque. Il s’agissait donc d’une banque coopérative : les actionnaires étaient également les clients de la banque. L’UCB proposait des services bancaires, en particulier des crédits à court terme, pour lesquels les entrepreneurs ne pouvaient à ce moment-là plus se tourner vers les grandes banques commerciales. Ce bâtiment est racheté en 1969 par la United California Bank pour entrer dans les années 1980 en possession de la Banque nationale. Différents éléments sont classés en 1984 tels les salles des guichets avec leurs verrières ainsi que le couloir d’entrée et la cage d’escalier, ce qui imposera des contraintes lors de la restauration minutieuse du bâtiment achevée en 2009.
Pour y amener une source de lumière suffisante, Désiré De Keyser avait choisi, en s’inspirant des galeries Saint-Hubert toutes proches, de surmonter l’édifice d’une verrière. Celui-ci se compose de deux grandes coupoles rectangulaires : l’une recouvre la grande salle des guichets et l’autre trône au-dessus d’une seconde salle des guichets, plus petite. Techniquement et esthétiquement, ces toits de verre culminant respectivement à 18 et 14 mètres constituent une véritable prouesse. Ils sont supportés par une structure d’acier formant une voûte en berceau. L’association du fer et du verre, caractéristique de l’époque, confère au bâtiment une grande élégance.
The building which houses the museum of the National Bank of Belgium (BNB) is an architectural gem nestled in the heart of Brussels. Inaugurated by the BNB in ​​2010 after renovation work, it was designed in 1872 by the Brussels architect Désiré De Keyser (1823-1897) on behalf of the Union du Crédit de Bruxelles (UCB).
This bank was created on the initiative of Brussels entrepreneurs and businessmen who, following the banking crisis of 1848, decided to collaborate to create their own bank. It was therefore a cooperative bank: the shareholders were also the bank's customers. UCB offered banking services, particularly short-term credits, for which entrepreneurs could no longer turn to large commercial banks at that time. This building was purchased in 1969 by the United California Bank and entered into the possession of the National Bank in the 1980s. Various elements were classified in 1984, such as the ticket office rooms with their glass roofs as well as the entrance corridor and the stairwell, which will impose constraints during the careful restoration of the building completed in 2009.
To provide a sufficient source of light, Désiré De Keyser chose, taking inspiration from the nearby Saint-Hubert galleries, to surmount the building with a glass roof. This consists of two large rectangular domes: one covers the large ticket hall and the other sits above a second, smaller ticket hall. Technically and aesthetically, these glass roofs peaking at 18 and 14 meters respectively constitute a real feat. They are supported by a steel structure forming a barrel vault. The combination of iron and glass, characteristic of the period, gives the building great elegance.
The view from my desk. According to our staff handbook, we have a duty to keep our desks in reasonable order. I like my hands to be doing things, whether that's doodling, sewing, or making endless paper birds. After about a year, the pile of little birds was getting a bit much for some people. So I decided that my desk domain extends vertically, and claimed this beam space for some suspended cranes. I think they look rather nice.

Things have been really busy at work lately - mostly, perhaps, because the tasks I do are new to me and I've got no one in my company to seek help from. I google, read tutorials, check support forums, etc... The upside is of course that I am able to learn new stuff, adding to my skills - but it can get really overwhelming at times..! Maaya (Pullip Latte) visited me at work last week and knows what I am talking about. ;)
I'm a little late to the party, have any of you guys seen this one yet?
Well after a little mix up with the contributer copies I finally received the August/September issue today that scored my second cover shot with R.M.Williams OUTBACK magazine!
I'm always super pumped when I see my shots in print with these guys :)
For all the Lincoln crew out there, the cover shot was taken in Boston Bay while doing my PADI dive course.
Cheers n beers,
Rob
The making of a goddess. Kali, a rather fearsome Hindu goddess is usually portrayed with decapitated heads tied on her belt. But in these early stages, she feels only the clay modeller's hands as he adds layer upon layer to make the shapely figure.
