From the architect. In november 2011 housing association Trudo launched the Woenselwestwedstrijd (www.woenselwestwedstrijd.nl), an ideas competition for architects, designers and anyone interested. The scope of the competition was to improve the bad image of a problem area in Eindhoven, called Woensel-West.
Section

Trudo?s idea is to realise iconic buildings on 16 corners on Edisonstraat, placed on top of similar plinths. Diederrendirrix designed the master plan and will also take care of the design of the plinths. The competition focused on the first two corners, with Baeken being selected as the winning scheme for location Edisonstraat and Baekelandplein.
