法国中央银行的巴黎La Courneuve中心坐落于一片4.5公顷的基地上。该基地沿着A86号高速公路，曾是前巴布科克钢厂的废弃场地。本项目是“大巴黎”行政规划挑战的产物，更应对了即将举办2024年奥运会的巴黎北部正在发生的巨大变化。La Courneuve中心的开幕标志着这片工业废地和整个片区即将获得新生，而即将开放的文化工厂则在保留了基地的工业历史意义的前提下，为该地区带来了额外的文化价值。通过创建符合当前目标的工业基地，这座新建筑不仅是法国中央银行重新考虑其现有财产的重要一环，其各项现代化设备也为它自身带来了重要的时代意义。

The Paris-La Courneuve center of the Banque de France (Central Bank) rises on the 4.5 ha wasteland of the former Babcock steel factory along the A86 motorway. This project is a reflection of the challenge that is the “Grand Paris” and the major changes happening north of the French capital, of which the Olympic Games in 2024 will be a part. The opening of the Banque de France is the sign of a renewal both for the industrial site and the entire area, the soon to open «Fabriques des Cultures» bringing an added cultural value to the area while preserving its industrial past. This new facility is a major step in the Banque de France’s plan to rethink its real estate and modernize its equipment with the creation of an industrial site compatible with its current objectives.

为了能够更好地处理La Courneuve中心营业后总价值超过10亿的纸币（价值量占国家储备的25%），该项目选用特殊的材料和高科技基础设施，以支持高安全性和自动化的建筑设备。

银行保险库中心的中央位置是一个由三个并列的方盒子体量组成的高安全性保险库。该保险库的主要功能是高速自动控制纸币的流转。它可以自动销毁破损的纸币，还可以将疑似假钞的纸币与真纸币分开，搁置在一边。它的次要功能是将所有的纸币存放在一个距离地面26米的空间内，高度确保了纸币的安全。

So as to handle soon after opening over 1 billion banknotes (25% of the national reserves), this project involves a specific material and technological infrastructure suited for highly secured and automated facilities.

The nerve center of this architectural plan is a safe composed of three juxtaposed cubic volumes. Its main function is the high-speed automated control of banknotes. It is designed to automatically destroy worn out banknotes and put aside the ones deemed suspicious. Its secondary function is the storage of the banknotes in the 26-meter high safe.
