4 Eindhoven Airport Luchthavenweg EA Eindhoven The development vision for Eindhoven Airport provides for its expansion and elaboration into a hub for mobility and business activity The new terminal complex is an important marketing instrument The section already ealized has an elongated plaza with a floating roof, from which the various facilities can be reached This building is easy to expand, so that an ensemble can evolve over the course of time Its realization is to be phased, in line with economic developments, and the old terminal building will eventually be demolished The design was realised in cooperation by KCAP and De Bever architects 2005 Interior architect Contractor General consultant De Bever en KCAP s & Planners M+R interior architecture Heijmans NACO Eindhoven Airport Gemeente_Eindhoven bus line 401 bus line

5 Central Trainstation Eindhoven Stationsplein AC Eindhoven The current station building was built in 1956 by design of architect Koen van der Gaast and resembles a Philips radio at that time In the view of Van der Gaast a train station had to get a prominent role in the city compared to other transport systems Not the human dimension was the starting point, but the urban space was the decisive factor in the measurements Another striking aspect of his vision was that the station had to have absolutely no recreational function, it was only intended as a pedestrian space: the transition from one transport to another The station is located in the district Fellenoord At about 900 meters from the station lies the Philips Stadion, PSV Stadium On the city center side of the station a statue was placed of Anton Philips, the father of Frits Philips 1956 Koen van der Gaast Gemeente_Eindhoven Take the train to Eindhoven 5
