CITY OF LIGHT, DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE
Partners DDW Trespa Stad Eindhoven Design Coöperatie Brainport
Eindhoven is sometimes called the ‘City of Light’ of the North, as the city’s explosive growth since the end of the 18th century has been closely linked to that of Philips. During WOII several historical parts were destroyed and the following modern reconstruction replaced many buildings in the centre. Today, the face of Eindhoven is rapidly changing, showing a new sense of self-confidence. But old sites certainly aren’t being forgotten. A unique amount of industrial heritage of which mainly former industrial Philips buildings, are converted and reused by up-and-coming sectors such as technology and design. Eindhoven is now a major technology research and educational hub with amongst others a large University of Technology. But it isn’t just a city with high-tech activities. In the 2000s decade, the city emerged as the capital of Dutch industrial design. Due to the fame of Design Academy Eindhoven, dubbed ‘The School of Cool’, Eindhoven has been able to grow in the design industry

CENTRAL STATION EINDHOVEN KOEN VAN DER GAAST location function contributed by
Eindhoven (1956) train station Gemeente_Eindhoven
The current station building was built in 1956 by design of architect Koen van der Gaast and resembles a Philips radio at that time. In the view of Van der Gaast a train station had to get a prominent role in the city compared to other transport systems. Not the human dimension was the starting point, but the urban space was the decisive factor in the measurements. Another striking aspect of his vision was that the station had to have absolutely no recreational function, it was only intended as a pedestrian space: the transition from one transport to another. The station is located in the district Fellenoord. At about 900 meters from the station lies the ‘Philips Stadion’, PSV Stadium.

On the city centre side of the station a statue was placed of Anton Philips, the father of Frits Philips.

DE BIJENKORF GIO PONTI, THEO BOOSTEN location function contributed by
Eindhoven (1969) shopping centre archlab
For the de Bijenkorf façade Giò Ponti tested a little 3-dimensional tile coloured in different variants of green. A colour arranged with openings in the shape of stretched hexagons, also applied for the Concattedrale in Taranto and for the San Carlo hospital chapel in Milan. It is said that Ponti got his inspiration for this facade, while flying over The Netherlands, and looking at the water-lined green landschape below. Even though the Bijenkorf wanted only 3 layers, in the urban plan 4 layers was more fitting. Therefore the upper layer has hardly any volume, and is only facade. Up until now, an extension to the 4th floor has never been realized.

Eindhoven (2004) shopping centre, square Gemeente_Eindhoven
The existing seventies shopping centre has been redeveloped and enlarged. The project is situated in the post-war city centre of Eindhoven, next to the monumental Bijenkorf building by Gio Ponti. The public passage that connects the north part and the south of the Eindhoven city centre is articulated by a glass roof that extends over the square in front of the building. The original square Piazza was designed by Gio Ponti, with seating on the square of the Italian artist Negri. Part of it has now moved to the side of the Bijenkorf. Ventilating units of the basement were hidden in a artwork consisting of a set of stainless steel tubes, by Frans Gast. This has now been reinstated in the Henri Dunant Park.

The Lichttoren (light tower) is actually the 7-sided tower on top of this building. First completed in 1920 by architects D. Roosenburg and L.S.P. Scheffer, it served as one of Philips’ light bulb factories. The tower on top was used as a testing facility for the bulbs, until the 70s when Philips first started moving its production facilities away from the Netherlands. Finally, in 1998, Philips left the building, which it had used as an office. The redevelopment finally started in 2006, according to a plan that called for a several mixed functions. With these very diverse uses, the city of Eindhoven has aimed to use it to create

a more urban atmosphere in its centre. The concrete structure, high ceilings, and large windows make it an icon, a symbol for Eindhoven’s industrial past and as such it has been declared a monument. Trudo, the owner of the building, added several new parts to the building during its redevelopment, which are instantly recognisable.

The spirit of a place lies in creative discovery of its concrete possibilities.

Eindhoven (1997) culture, education, library, office Norbert_van_Onna
With the transformation of the Turin Lingotto factories in mind, a former factory of Philips designed by Dirk Roosenburg in 1928, was converted into a multifunctional building for design, art, knowledge and technology: the Witte Dame (White Lady). Public initiative saved the building from demolition. The unofficial monument has been conserved by using it for new functions, including the accommodation of the Design Academy, the main branch of the public library, and a design department of Philips Lighting. The biggest intervention is the transformation of the middle section. The central entrance, including a number of shared facilities, has been situated at an important point in the city’s layout: on the axis of the route from the city centre

via the Licht Square to the Philips Stadium. A crucial point in the renovation of the White Lady is that the building has been changed as little as possible. The look of the façade and the way the floor areas are stacked have remained unchanged.

Eindhoven (2006) housing, office Gemeente_Eindhoven
Next to De Admirant (the former Philips tower) Dam & Partners designed this residential and office tower that marks the centre of Eindhoven like a large white sculpture. The way the building is situated in its environment excludes the incidence of 90° angles. The angled shape, glass corners and sloping roof still suggests a degree of slenderness, but the dense concrete façade has yet again something rude. “In particular, the connection to the public area is a true shame. This building adds absolutely nothing to the experience of public space: a closed wall with an entrance as a mouse-hole.” (text from jury rapport Dirk Roosenburg prize)

De Regent was, in a sense, a pioneer for high-rise buildings in Eindhoven. During the design and construction process, it was the tallest building in Eindhoven, surpassing a Philips building that had been the number one for 35 years. Shortly after its completion, a number of other high rises appeared in Eindhoven, both in the centre and outlying neighbourhoods. Hence, it is no longer the tallest building, though its top floor ‘34’ is still the highest floor number in Eindhoven. The plinth is home to commercial space.

This gallery is situated along the Kleine Berg in area De Bergen, directly neighbouring the city centre. The street image is diverse with traditional as well as modern buildings. The binding aspect between these diverse buildings is the limited width. The mission was to create a two storey gallery on a former terrace lot of 25 square meters. The entrance had to be connected to the street and the first floor had to connect to the original residence of the owner/occupier. The original building was made in the 1920s and is symmetrical by design. The entire gallery radiates transparency.

All these functions together make it a very dense community-based spot in an urban setting. The volume is a composition of glass and concrete elements which have 12 different colour tones and opens up at the corner of 2 streets.

Jo Coenen’s master plan for the Smalle Haven area in Eindhoven included several Municipal Offices. The building exterior matches the diversity of the plan and connects its various components both visually and structurally. The heart of the building is a ‘city room’: a partly roofed outdoor space that serves as the entrance vestibule. An arcade connects all of the adjacent buildings. The building exterior, with its vertical bond brick façade, is simple and robust. The entrance, city garden and city room have transparent façades. Vertical windows - floor to ceiling in the cockpits to the back - emphasize the verticality and give the façades rhythm. The windows are pushed back and fit with stainless steel frames that add light and transparency to the

While Neave Brown is mostly known for his work in London, he also designed this structure in Eindhoven. The master plan for the Smalle Haven area designed by Jo Coenen, called for a high density low-rise residential structure at the foot of his Vesteda Tower. Neave Brown designed the Medina as an oasis of green and quiet in a hectic city; with two very distinct sides. There is the urban wall, which is 8 storeys high, faces the busy Vestdijk and is also home to commercial space at its base. The other side, on ‘t College is much lower, quiet and more like a residential street, although there is commercial space here, too. The terraces on this side form a transition from the busy city to the calm residential area. There is also a parking garage inside.

This building was originally built as a district court in 1964. It marks perfectly the transition from traditional to modern thinking about architecture in Eindhoven, and is the link between the old and the new city hall. Architect J. Kruger modelled two volumes around an indoor space: a formal straight-front with offices and a building section with courtrooms and meeting rooms. The connection between these two parts is marked with deep cuts on both sides of the building. During the Dutch Design Week of 2007 the Design House officially opened its doors for the public. The former district court converted into a building which can be used as a shop and exposition space, offering changing exhibitions on modern design products. While the appearance of the building

Eindhoven (1969) government, office Gemeente_Eindhoven
J.A. van der Laan (brother of Dom van der Laan) wins in a 1938 competition for a new City Hall. The outbreak of the war did little right in the city hall plans. In 1939, however, the council and citizenry increasingly criticized the architecture of Van der Laan, it was not modern enough. Van der Laan also admitted that a 1939 plan did not fit in 1957, and made a new design. There have been mixed critiques on this work. Because of the sudden shift in his style, Van der Laan was more often attacked on his design integrity. In 2002 the town hall was totally renovated by architecten en|en and Staal/Christensen. By applying a large glass roof, one of the never-executed design variants of van der

It should inform residents about ongoing cultural events, musical performances and exhibitions. Rietveld designed a billboard with concrete roof, wall and floor. On the column posters of exhibitions, music and theater were pasted. On a horizontal white bar dates and locations were announced. On the back, the map of the area and the city, to see where the events were held. It was neglected and forgotten until 1989 when it rediscovered and moved to the City Hall. Now, every now and then, artists, architects, photographers, designers and other creative persons are invited to design some new promotion for the ‘billboard’, and

Eindhoven (2003) museum, renovation MI_MOA
The ‘new’ Van Abbemuseum is comprised of the renovated landmark building by architect A.J. Kropholler, dating from 1936, and two new sections. Both the renovation and structural alterations to the older part of the museum as well as the new sections are by the Dutch architect Abel Cahen. He has succeeded in organically integrating the old building into a new and larger complex. Despite its monumental character, the new building maintains the human dimensions so characteristic of the former museum. Massive installations or sizeable exhibitions as well as smaller intimate projects - such as showings of prints and drawings - can all be presented thanks to the variety of the exhibition areas. Cahen’s distinctive design makes a notable contribution to Dutch museum architecture. The museum also has a whole range of new facilities, created by the Belgian designer Maarten van Severen including an auditorium and an education centre, which will accommodate a wide spectrum of public events.

The Effenaar is one of several professional Pop Music venues in the Netherlands that have renewed their buildings, or, in this case built a new house for their programme. MVRDV got the assignment to make a bold, open-minded and alternative building. The interior design-duo Anthony Kleinepier and Bob Copray made the whole interior. They had to take care of several ‘hufterproof’ (vandalism-proof) elements, like entrance desk, toilets, wardrobe and bars. Inside the rather heavilybuilt building and course finishing they placed these interior elements like individual objects or furniture. Many are coated with an epoxy top layer, and give them a touch-ability. The multidisciplinary Dutch design office Fabrique has made the new

The Kennispoort (Knowledge Gate) came to be through a collaboration between the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and the Eindhoven chamber of commerce, which it houses, in the south-west corner of the TU/e campus. The concept behind the seven storey building is that several cuts have been taken out of the volume. On the south-east side for instance, a cut was taken out of the building to emphasize the walking and biking route to the TU/e. Inside, spaces are organised around a two-storey high ground floor. Underneath is a parking garage. The faรงade is covered in smooth brickwork, which was glazed, specially developed for this project. The architect spent a lot of attention to the details, which is apparent especially in the faรงade and inside in

Vertigo was originally home to the faculty of chemistry at the Eindhoven University of Technology, but nowadays it houses the faculty of architecture, building and planning. The original structure was built in 1956, but was in drastic need of updating when the faculty of architecture moved in. Renovation began in 2000 and was completed in 2001. Because it used to be occupied with laboratories and such, the ceilings are very high at 5,08m. This was untouched for the most part, except where the atrium was created and as a result more floor space was needed. A large staircase was added to the front of the building, which doubles as a lecture hall. The building was covered in clear and green silkscreened glass, much like the university library in Utrecht. The interior was also redone.

Because of a strong loyalty to the wishes and ideas of the client, diederendirrix looks for both an effective and an individualistic interpretation of the commission. Clarifying the complexity and the synthesis of contradictory interests constitute the core quality of our design approach. This research and interdisciplinary attitude results in inventive and striking buildings and architectural plans. Our work is mostly located in the urban centre, where high density is the main subject. In these area it is always about the transformation of the urban structure. Often the result

Because Quist clearly wanted to show how the watertower was put together, the connection lines remained visible.

In the 1960s and 70s it attracted large visitor numbers, since its interactive exhibitions were a new and unique concept at that time.

The urban layout of Bosrijk is based on living clustered in green areas. As a sculpture in a garden, each cluster in the public park presents itself individually. Such a structure requires a solution that guarantees the relationship between housing, private outdoor green, and collective green. The urban plan provides a number of sight lines along the canal, which must remain free. This creates small lots with a high density. The desire to save as much green and land-based living possible, has resulted in narrow but deep homes with a plot size of 4.3 x 17.5 m. Especially the cockpit in the middle, a sort of inverted skylight, stresses the relationship with the outside and provides extra light. The houses form a continuous horizontal raised plinth at ground level, which

provides the distance between collective and private outdoor space. The partial deepening of the housing, the buildings are no higher than 4.5 meters, resembles a pavilion image.

EINDHOVEN AIRPORT KCAP ARCHITECTS & PLANNERS, DE BEVER ARCHITECTEN, NACO location function contributed by
Eindhoven (2005) airport Gemeente_Eindhoven
The development vision for Eindhoven Airport provides for its expansion and elaboration into a hub for mobility and business activity. The new terminal complex is an important marketing instrument. The section already realized has an elongated ‘plaza’ with a floating roof, from which the various facilities can be reached. This building is easy to expand, so that an ensemble can evolve over the course of time. Its realization is to be phased, in line with economic developments, and the old terminal building will eventually be demolished.

NORBERT VAN ONNA ARCHITECTURAL AND FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHER Norbert van Onna (1955) is an architectural- and fine art photographer. After graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 1978 he completed internships in London and Paris. Since then he has worked for architects, construction companies and government institutions. “Light, to me, is the main motivation to take photographs. It creates moments in which a building acquires its identity and will start to appeal to the imagination. Capturing that dynamic is exhilarating. One moves within the ever-changing framework of light, time and space. This means looking ahead, being open to sudden changes. The ultimate goal is perfection.”
