barcode architects: city campus tilburg

rotterdam-based practice barcode architects, short for ‘the buro for architecture and contemporary design’, has designed the ‘city campus tilburg’, a masterplan for a former railway site in tilburg, the netherlands. the 145,000 square meter complex integrates knowledge and cultural entities into the heart of the textile city, revitalizing the industrial heritage of the area into a lively district with a high quality of life for visitors and residents. a high school, offices, housing, cultural centers, shops and retail will be mixed forming a synergy of functions within a publicly accessible and attractive outdoor environment.

education, business and culture are unified to maintain vibrant setting throughout the day and night. a pedestrian route interconnects the various buildings and services along the length of the site with a mixture of large plazas, vegetated courtyards and intimate oases for quiet relaxation. additional spaces for work collaboration for students and employees will encourage and stimulate opportunities for new economies and developments. currently underway, this project is scheduled for completion in 2016.
