Nederland

Liam and I spent five incredible days in the Netherlands on a tri-city mission. Our team's first stop was Eindhoven, where we met our friends Kevin and Heleen. We enjoyed warm Eindhovian hospitality, a French dinner and unusual but very comfortable accommodation. At the Van Abbe Museum our experience was rich. The slate building sat on water and housed engaging exhibits like Plug-in. A ninety minute feature film of the football legend, Zidane, exceeded expectations. We did a reconnaissance mission at the Design Academy Eindhoven. After surveying their impressive and highly conceptual industrial design department we only managed to capture a few shots. Next stop, Utrecht, home of our friend Gabi, University College Utrecht and the Rietveld Schröder House. Our first night consisted of numerous events in celebration of the year's completion. Throughout our stay, we were in good hands and made the most of our Unit home making friends along the way. Finally we touched down in Amsterdam where we spent the day with Kevin and our fellow EHP friends, Ben and Sam. After failing at multiple museum attempts we sought refuge in the beautiful de Hortus, or botanical garden. Despite digestive unrest, the mission was a success!

Eindhoven

We visited our friend Kevin who is studying at the Design Academy Eindhoven for the semester. It was refreshing to be in the design school atmosphere again: seeing the way other schools handle their wood and metal shops. At the design academy everything is one shop.
