The building embodies Dutch modernism and was designed as a symbol of technological progress. Its circular form and futuristic shape remain a defining landmark in Eindhoven's landscape.
The site sits centrally in Eindhoven and is easily reached by public transport. Visitors should check whether events are scheduled to ensure access to the interior.
The artist Kraftwerk performed four 3D concerts here in 2013, specifically designed around the site's architecture. These performances demonstrated how the building's bold design could shape modern artistic experiences.
