Английская Википедия:BP Building (Antwerp)
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox building The BP Building, previously also known as the Axa-Royale Belge Tower, is a suspended-structure office building in Antwerp, Belgium, designed by the Belgian architect Léon Stynen. The building was completed in 1963 and features a unique cantilevered floor structure and cable supports. All of the floors are supported with external cables that are attached to roof beams: the weight of roof beams, all floors, and the external walls are carried by a center core. The building was commissioned by BP and is still referred to as the "BP Building", but is now owned by Buysse & Partners Smart Assets since 2018. Its architecture has been classified as Modernist and Brutalist.[1]
Design
In 1963, well-known Belgian architect Leon Stynen experimented with a technique which allowed a cantilevered facade. All of the floors and the facade of the building are held up with steel cables which are supported from rooftop beams. The design allows for a greater unobstructed interior space.[2] It was Europe's first building which made use of "suspended construction".[1]
The floors are supported by external cables, which allows each floor to have no internal columns. The ten floors are all similar and divided by interior wood-based walls. The facade is a type of curtain wall with metal grids. A restaurant is located on the upper level of the building.[3]
The center concrete columns are Шаблон:Convert tall, and in addition to supporting the stairway and the duct work, they also support the steel core of two Шаблон:Convert beams. Nine crossbeams, Шаблон:Convert long, run perpendicular to the two primary beams. Cables are then hung from the crossbeams, and these support the floors.[1]

Axa-Royale Belge Tower
The building was purchased by Axa Bank Belgium and renamed the Axa-Royale Belge Tower.[4][5] It underwent a major renovation and most of the original interior is now replaced.[1]
On 5 March 2001 the building was classified as an architectural monument based on historical and architectural value.[6]
