Kennispoort, Eindhoven

Kennispoort is a building housing the Chamber of Commerce and the University of Technology in Eindhoven. It is located in the center and it contributes positively to the city's panorama. The design of the structure was conceived by Koen van Velsen - a Dutch architect. The building is constructed in Post-modern style and has an uneven oval form. Some sequences were removed from the construction in order to make it more practical, hence making Kennispoort even more unusual and attractive. The front of the building is covered with glazed brickwork. In the evening, the strucutre is even more visible given its diverse, illuminated colours.
