Let's make this really cool and iconic building!

Fuck yeah sounds great!

Now let's also make it illegal to take pictures of the thing!

Wait what?

There's plenty of pictures of it online, as far as I can tell. What are you referring to? Some historic legislation that was intended to limit photography of the thing?

The owners were and are pretty shit about it. But Belgium changed the law in 2016 to not be BS and just allow photographs.
