Summary

Description

Gerealiseerd eind 2009 op het 18 septemberplein door de Italiaanse architect Massimiliano Fuksas.

De term BLOB is afgeleid van 'blob architecture' (blob architectuur), die is bedacht door de architect Greg Lynn in 1995. Lynn hield zich bezig met experimenten in digitale ontwerptechnieken met CAD-programma's. Hij gebruikte de term 'blob' om de vorm te beschrijven die ontstond na het aanklikken van een wolk willekeurige punten in een CAD-computerprogramma. Naast het Engelse woord voor 'klodder' is het ook afgeleid van de computerterm BLOB (binary large object): het dataformaat waarmee deze vormen werden opgeslagen in een database. Bron: Wikipedia.

Love it or hate it, the blob has arrived in Eindhoven. The finishing touches are now (i.c. November 2009) being added to the 25 m high futuristic looking building in the centre of Eindhoven. Designed by award winning Italian Architect Massimiliano Fuksas, who also designed the new Piazza (glass canopy next to the Bijenkorf), the blob is the centre-piece of a complete re-development of the 18 Septemberplein, which includes two bicycle tunnels and a second smaller blob.
