Fontys Sports College, Eindhoven, Netherlands. Architect: mecanoo architecten, 2012. Perspective of brick facade and glazed grou
Mecanoo has created a social sports facility design that contributes to the vibrancy of Genneper Parks. The intelligence of this building is that most of the sports accommodations are located on the first floor. This creates not a closed off sports box, but a completely transparent ground floor which is in relationship with the environment. The compactness of the building’s layout provides the advantage of room left for a stage to the building - in the form of a plinth - inviting athletic and social encounters in the outdoors.
