Brussels will build a new administrative building in the city centre, which will provide new residences for approximately 1,700 government employees. With the expansion of Brussels' urbanization, the decrease in air quality has gradually attracted people's attention. The project hopes to form an ecological corridor by planting oak trees in some areas of the city, combining with the existing urban green space, and providing a better living environment for animals and plants in the city. As a longevity tree, oak trees provide living space and food for a large number of animals. This is a future project. The project hopes to carry political space, social space and ecological space through a big tree. This is a story in which buildings and trees grow together in the passage of time. The project aims to not only increase the abundance of urban species, but also to declare that trees should not be an accessory to urban buildings, but should become the main body and be paid attention to and used by people.
