这是由Ector HoogstadArchitecten设计的埃因霍温科技大学MetaForum楼。大厅位于荷兰著名的学府埃因霍温理工大学内，该大厅已有近60年的历史，如今被改造成大学的新核心区。同时，一座新的建筑布置在大厅顶部，这就是数学和计算机科学系教学楼。充满浓郁工业气息的老旧建筑经历了整合、重置、转换、新建等多个步骤，蜕变成当下流行的新潮建筑，让人看到了建筑所拥有的无限可能，而这一切的创造者便是鹿特丹的Ector HoogstadArchitecten事务所。该项目将于10月22日开放。

原建筑W-hal建造于1958年，在当时的时代背景下，建筑横向构建，如同一个巨大的工厂，空间的高度也让这里成为一个灵活而高效的空间，为室内机械运作和各种实验提供场地。而随着社会的发展，原有的建筑已经无法承载当下教学所需，打破空间掣肘，将这里变化成一个开放式的学习中心势在必行。于是W-hal变成了今天的MetaForum，开放式的区域，上下贯通。新的中央图书馆，大量的研究区域、休息室、餐饮区、商店一应俱全。而明亮的黄色也是Ector HoogstadArchitecten事务所处理旧建筑改造时重要的元素，色彩将空间点亮。在动线的处理上，位于二层的人行天桥将这里与周围建筑连通。学生通过桥梁进入到图书馆和其他位于一楼、地下一层的学习区域，也可以通过全景楼梯或电梯来到新设的数学和计算机科学系。

Analmost sixty year-old historic hall of the TU Eindhoven has been transformedinto the new heart of the university. At the same time, a new building has beenplaced on top of the hall; the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science.This striking combination of reuse, transformation and newbuild was designed bythe Rotterdam firm Ector HoogstadArchitecten. The MetaForum will be opened on22 October by Wim van de Donk, Queen’s Commissioner for the Province ofNoord-Brabant.

The so-called W-hal was built in 1958 as a “flexible, indoor hectare for machinery and experiments”. Architect Joost Ector, who himself graduated from Eindhoven in 1996,transformed the building into the heart of the TU Eindhoven with this idea inmind. Among other things, the MetaForum provides room for the new centrallibrary, a large number of study areas and lounges, catering facilities, shopsand student information desks. The southern section has been transformed into acovered events area.

Footbridges on the first floors connect theMetaForum with the surrounding buildings. Spectacular sight lines at thedifferent levels emphasise the function of the complex as a central meetingplace. Students who enter via the bridges descend to the library and the othercentral facilities on the ground floor and in the basement. Or they take thepanoramic staircase or lift up to the new Faculty of Mathematics and ComputerScience premises (16,000 m2).

The faculty seems to ‘float’ above the hall like a massive metal block.This is due to the extremely subtle supporting framework that consists of justtwenty slender steel columns. The newly constructed cellar below the MetaForumcompensates partially for the weight of the new faculty building and alsoaccommodates all the technical installations. The equipment for controlling theclimate in the complex is built into the floor of the first storey. In thisway, it was possible to keep the historic roof free from equipment and restoreit to its former glory.

For the restoration of the existing,non-insulated facade of the W-hal, a new method was developed, by means ofwhich the original steel ‘chair profiles’ were transformed into a wellinsulated curtain wall in a low-maintenance and reversible way, without anychange to the outward appearance. According to specialists, there is a goodchance that this method will become the standard solution for this type ofrestoration project.
