function education, university
contributed by MI_MOA

The Department of Education (FE) forms the westerly closure of the "kashba-zone" of the Uithof. In this hundred-metre-wide strip, buildings bunch-up close together with patios and rooflights providing daylight penetration. The colourful west façade gives the HU a face towards the city, makes the building scale-less and abstract, while also alluding to the speed of the traffic racing past. The façade is an expression of the occupants and their diverse activities, a metaphor for the HU's multifaceted community.
