It probably should be a few levels lower. I don’t mind the design in general, I think the materials and volumetrics – apart from the height – are right. The origin of this story is probably a meeting room with some NMBS/SNCB bosses treating themselves on a big fat cake of office surface.
Eh, I’ve seen worse. Brussels south is due for a renovation anyway so let’s hope they’ll use the opportunity to update some of their quays.
The old one already seemed too big for them and now they’re just making it bigger?
Ha, the classic “let’s just add some green that’s not actually there and remove the cars to make the model look good”. Bonus for letting choosing a sky that has roughly the same colour as the building, ignoring that it will stick out like a sore thumb when it’s cloudy.
Just demolish the building and add extra tracks.
You see the Color of the building blending with the sky ? This is totally fake (plus when do you have this sky in Belgium).
Imagine the some with a grey colour to see how it (doesn’t) blen with the rest.

Ridiculous. Far too big for no good reason.
