baarsjes
The Baffinstraat in the Baarsjes in
Amsterdam is named after the famous
explorer William Baffin. Round 1615 he sailed along
the
coast of the current Canada trying to find a passing
to the East. William Baffin was the first explorer
who used astronomic observations to navigate. This
fact inspired MNO to create a starry sky for Baffinstreet's
road surface.

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. Unfortunately we didn’t
win the contest.
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.

Tile paintings
A form consisting of three merging balls is the modular
element used to create the tile paintings for the
psychiatric hospital Siependaal. With this simple
form several patterns can be made from regular structures,
to random patterns.
From a large field of randomly placed forms, numerous
different tile paintings have been generated. This
way each bathroom gets its unique tile painting.
The three floors of the hospital each got there own
colour settings. This work elaborates on traditional
pattern design but with a contemporary vocabulary.

VSB prijs beeldende
kunst 1997
H2O is the winning design of the VSB award 1997 for
swimming pool "de Kulk" in Vlaardingen,
Holland.
It consists of oversized molecules made of ceramics
with a platinum luster.
Juryrapport:
"Droom en daad zij echter het meest aan elkaar
gewaagd in het lichtontwerp van Ben Oostrum. Hij maakte
een sensuele sculptuur van watermoleculen, die sterk
lijken op zeepbellen of druppels condens. Het zilverglanzende
beeld straalt niet alleen licht uit, het weerkaatst
ook alle schitteringen van golfslag en spetterpret."

WOW MOM
It was clear the passage to the car park behind the
Gedempte Biersloot in Vlaardingen needed light. It
was a dark and nasty hole in a block of flats.
With neon the palindrome WOW MOM was created. Not
just a palindrome because this cryptic text reads
up side down WOW MOM too.
