Kuksas design rises from the ground in Eindhoven

Italian architectural firm, Massimiliano Fuksas, has designed 18 Septemberpleinin, Eindhoven, a major square in the city. It is the connection between the central station area and the main shopping district of the city and with a need for 2000 parking places for bicycles and providing an important flow through of pedestrians they designed an underground bicycle parking area. This left the square free for pedestrians.
Two cone-like shapes provide the entrance to the parking area, created with ceramic tiles, fountains lights and glass elements embedded in the square floor. Lighting and a flow of light through the glass flooring from the parking area below creates an impressive sight at night.
