DDW workshop with TUD and TUE
How do you imagine the future of city centre of Downtown Eindhoven?
How do you imagine the future of city centre of Downtown Eindhoven?
In 10 years, 20.000 new residents will move to Eindhoven. This means 10.000 new housing units of 100m2 each resulting in 1.000.000m2. Should we build 45 towers of 75 meters high? 20 towers of 150 metres? Or can we imagine other visions for the future city of Eindhoven? The visions produced at Ici Eindhoven will stimulate debates on the possibilities and opportunities for urban densification in the city. What is the future of Eindhoven? How do we want to live in it?
In this masterclass, attendees build a foam model of central Eindhoven that serves as the base for further studies on the city’s future urban form. On 21-22 October, coinciding with the opening Dutch Design Week, attendees model future visions for the city that are inserted into the larger urban model. The resulting pieces are on display at the exhibition space, showcasing the diversity of typologies for future life – visions made by and for the city. The visions produced at Ici Eindhoven will stimulate debates on the possibilities and opportunities for urban densification in the city. What is the future of Eindhoven? How do we want to live in it?
