About the project:
Project: S.J. van Embden monument
Location: Eindhoven University of Technology TUe, the Netherlands
Peter Vink realizes a work in the hexagonal staircase under the main building of the TU/e. The main building was designed by architect and urban designer S.J. van Embden (1904-2000), one of the most influential reconstruction architects of the Netherlands. He was also responsible for the masterplan of the TU/e campus. For the measurements of the entire complex, Van Embden didn’t took man as his starting point, but the size of a standard Philips fluorescent tube.
The length of the fluorescent tube has also determined the dimensions of the staircase. With three hundred fluorescent tubes, which together form a hexagonal column, Vink brings a tribute to Van Embden. The program that switches on and off the lights emphasizes the modular construction principle, that underlies the TU/e campus as a secret code.
