In collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce, Eindhoven University of Technology has developed this Knowledge Centre. The building is located in the park-like surroundings at the Dommel river to the west of the TU campus.
The seven-storey building has an oval shape from which various volumes have been removed. On the east side a bite has been taken out, creating a U-shaped superstructure. On the southeast side, part of the volume has been cut away to emphasize the bicycle and pedestrian route to the university district.
The building is organized around a two-storey high inner street. Underneath the building there is a parking garage.
The facades are clad with metal-coloured glazed bricks, which were specially developed for this project.
