Originally from Heesch in the Netherlands. A little village in the south. It is near Oss, the first place in the world where margarine (fake butter) was produced industrially.
Some pictures (google images) Large Church Old house of the one taking margarine into production I then moved to Eindhoven for my studies, where I have lived for nearly 4 years now. University - Vertigo Building Evoluon
The modern building in your first photo of Eindhoven is amazing. It looks like a fin above water and makes you wonder what else is lurking beneath. I also really like the University -Vertigo Building, beautiful stuff.
At the risk of being pedantic tng, that building you've pointed out isn't 'Modern', because Modern in the architectural sense is a particular movement and style that occurred at a particular time. The word you want to use here is contemporary. That's my lesson for the day :)
It's funny that you say that, when I wrote it I was almost certain that I was using the wrong terminology and that someone would point out the correct. I was also almost certain that it would be you :-)
At the risk of being even more pedantic, thenewgreen's use of modern to signify contemporary in this instance is perfectly fine, sounds_sound . Had he intended to refer to the movement itself he could have said 'modernist' or capitalised it to 'Modern'.
It is called "De Blob", for obvious reasons. They recently built the smaller brother called "De Bubble" on the other side of the square. Bubble at night 18 Septemberplein at night. The Blob is in the left corner As for the university, Vertigo is the Faculty of Architecture and Building Environment. :P Nice little nugget of useless knowledge: Philips was founded in Eindhoven..jpg)
