Europa is being built to become the headquarters for the European Council. It will host future European summits, meetings between heads of state or government from the 28 European Union member countries. Europa will also be the new headquarters for the Council of the European Union, the EU's supreme political body. The Europa building will incorporate the listed facades of the former Residence Palace, built in 1927 by Michel Polak, thus creating an unparalleled architectural backdrop to current and future political discourse within Brussels' European Quarter. The design of this new and innovative complex is inspiring; this volume presents a critical analysis of the building's design and provides a comprehensive account of one of Europe's most important architectural designs.
