Strijp-S, Eindhoven

Strijp-S is a neighborhood and former industrial park in the Eindhoven district of Strijp. The area belonged to electronics company Philips. Since 2000, creative companies and housing have been established in the former industrial buildings. Eindhoven Strijp-S railway station serves the district.

The name Strijp-S comes from the naming pattern that Philips used in its industrial parks. Strijp-S was the first park, and Strijp-T and Strijp-R followed.

At Strijp-S you can visit MU Hybrid Art House (Torenallee 40-06). MU is all about art in the broadest sense of the word. Together with mainly young makers and a broad, international audience, MU defines the liminal space between ‘what art is and what art can be’.

Furthermore, the De Ontdekfabriek is located at Strijp-S: a children's science discovery space.

Strijp-S is a place for experimentation with LED lighting, which keeps the historic connection with Philips' past. Some light art includes the project Fakkel by Har Hollands. In the underground passage to NatLab artist Daan Roosegaarde installed his project Crystal.

Strijp-S is a regular location for the light festival GLOW.

Strijp-S is a major event space, in the halls of the Klokgebouw building, but also larger events on the Ketelhuisplein plaza. For example, dance festival Flying Dutch in 2015 attracted 25,000 visitors. Dutch Design Week takes place each October. Every third Sunday of the month Strijp-S hosts the FeelGood Markt market.
