Evoluon, Science museum in Eindhoven, Netherlands
The Evoluon features a concrete dome measuring 77 meters in diameter, reinforced with 169 kilometers of steel bars for structural integrity.
Philips Electronics commissioned the building in 1966 to celebrate their 75th anniversary, initially operating as a science museum until its closure in 1989.
The structure represents Dutch modernist architecture through its circular design and flying saucer shape, reflecting technological progress in the mid-20th century.
The facility functions as a conference center and exhibition venue, offering spaces for large gatherings and scientific presentations throughout the year.
The German band Kraftwerk selected this location for four 3D concerts in 2013, incorporating the building's design into their performance visuals.
