KEEP ME IN EINDHOVEN

Apart from the high-tech industries, Eindhoven (Netherlands) is made of many cultural institutions and what is most important, people of cultural scene.

However, many of the people plan to stay in Eindhoven only fir short term periods, as the city offers a lot in terms of education but leaves with few opportunities of professional life.

Therefore, many great and skilled people leave Eindhoven after about two years and try to pursuit their careers in other cities, mostly in Rotterdam.

The project calls for spatial change. The proposal merges the two great forces of Eindhoven, but the merge goes beyond a conversation and applies pilot spatial development within the biggest scientific force of the city – High Tech Campus.

The project present a series of buildings of different functions that would complement the area. This merge creates new work opportunities not only for people from cultural industries but also for people from high tech companies who can work side by side and create an innovative work environment where people can share, explore and develop new ideas together.

Such intervention creates a pilot mixture of power and knowledge and can change the identity of Eindhoven, give new possibilities to the science industry but foremost empower the cultural scene and keep the artistic and creative human potential within the city.

The project analysis, proposal and approach were shaped with the help of 'Urban Flotsam'.

Personal note:

Following my graduation in 2023 I left Eindhoven and relocated to Rotterdam.
