Brick - the exhibition
On May 24th 2007, the exhibition
"Brick" opened at the Groot Handelsgebouw
in Rotterdam during the manifestation Rotterdam 2007,
City of Architecture. The exhibition will highlight
the results of the Brick project that was carried
out over a three-year period at the European Ceramic
Work Centre.
The architecture project Brick was aimed at product
innovation. The .ekwc wanted to stimulate the technical
and artistic development of the manufacturing and
application of brick as a construction material. Architects,
designers and artists from both the Netherlands and
abroad have been working on the development of a new
type of brick since 2005. The .ekwc expects to be
able to use this to provide a new stimulus to the
application of brick and subsequently the brick appearance
of the Netherlands.
The exhibition does not consist of a showroom full
of products, but is a special designed presentation
of both true works of art inspired by brick and new,
commercial designs suitable for further development
by the brick industry. A rich, multidisciplinary exhibition
based on the experiments the participants entered
into with ceramics as a material.

The boo project for Schijndel
is completed.
Boo has designed a contemporary
city gate for Schijndel, a small town in the Netherlands.
The gate marks the entrance to the town centre where
you are only allowed to drive 30 kilometers per hour
and contains the numbers 5482, which is the postcode
for this part of Schijndel. The gate functions as
a landmark and a way of reducing the speed of the
passing traffic.
If you are ever in Schijndel, check out the crossing:
Wijbosscheweg -v. Berghenstraat- Hoevebraaksestraat.

Tokyo
Lights
We are proud to announce that
Boo’s proposal for the Tokyo City Lights contest
ended up in the shortlist of ten. The shortlist was
selected from 280 works from 18 countries.
The contest was set-up in order to find a refined
and distinctive streetlight design befitting the three
major central areas of Tokyo (Ginza, Kyobashi, Nihonbashi)
with attractive lighting that will symbolise Chuo
Dori in the 21st Century.
