Like fingers interlaced in a symbolic clasp of unity and mutual interdependence, the design for this international treaty organization headquarters represents its changing mission from opposition and prevention to unification and integration. Designed in association with the Bruxelles, Belgium based firm Assar Architects, this landmark provides each member-nation with embassy-level security and privacy while also providing shared space where national representatives can meet as partners in the pursuit of peace and comity. Flexible office layouts and shared amenities yield an Office Urbanism that brings nations together.
