This small kindergarten (about 520m2) is situated in the University of Utrecht district, just east of the city of Utrecht in The Netherlands. Its Dutch name, 'De Kleine Kikker', translates as 'The Little Frog' in English. It was built by Drost + van Veen architecten between a monumental farmhouse and a wooden stable; architecturally 'De Kleine Kikker' wedges itself as a modern little farmhouse between these two historic buildings. Its front façade references to the farm it is located next to; the back façade has a much more modern appearance. Its façades are clad in partially coloured wooden beams, while the roof is made of aluminium. 'De Kleine Kikker' is recognizable because of it's forms, but surprises at the same time by combining unexpected materials. photo: Rob 't Hart . Public access unknown! . . . . . . .

David de Wied Building Address Universiteitsweg 99 3584 Utrecht Netherlands . The new Faculty of Science is located as a freestanding building on a prominent site of the University Utrecht campus. Approximately half of the building contains laboratories and the rest provides education and work space on various and open floors, grouped around the central hall. This atrium-like space is directed to the outside in a covered outdoor area with an open classroom, where there is an opportunity of open air events. The 'oval' free-standing building, as an island on this area, is on the border between the inside and provides all opportunities for meetings, which all contribute to social cohesion. photo: Dirk Verwoerd .

NMR facility Address Padualaan 8 3584 CH Utrecht Netherlands http://www.nmr.chem.uu.nl/ . The small pavilion-like laboratory building for the NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) Facility is located on the Uithof Campus of Utrecht University. The two-floor column free laboratory houses eight spectrometers (high-frequency magnets). This influenced decisively the spatial layout of the building, because the radiate force fields these magnets produce may not be disturbed. The building consists of a single concrete surface, which continues from floor plane into the wall and ceiling. The flipping-over surfaces are constructive and are thus not traversed by a secondary support structure of columns. Windows with integrated sun shading, a silk-screened dot pattern, are placed in office- and laboratory spaces, allowing daylight to enter. photo: NMR facility . Public access unknown! . . . . . . . .

You could ask if there is time for a short tour. Contact: [email protected] or phone: +31.(0)30.2532652 How to get there There is a direct bus shuttle from Utrecht CS to the university campus De Uithof (direct bus 12s, as well as the buses 12 & 11 ). Ask the bus driver to stop at the Hugo R. Kruyt building, Padualaan 8. The entrance of the Nicolaas Bloembergen building can only be accessed via the Hugo R. Kruyt building (a huge concrete building at the university complex De Uithof, 8 floors high, grey and with a yellow elevator house on top). Its address : Padualaan 8. . . . http://www.mimoa.eu/users/debartman/Guides/utrecht%20uithof/ this page is part of Mi guide 'utrecht uithof' made by B. de Jong, -, Netherlands 4 photo: Naomi Schiphorst . photo: Naomi Schiphorst . . Basket Bar Address Genevelaan 9 3584 CC Utrecht Netherlands http://www.thebasket.nl/ . The Utrecht University Campus, according to its best tradition, gives birth to another provocative and irreverent building: the BasketBar, which consists of a flat basket ground over a grand café room, as 15 x 15 meters flat extension of the previous bookstore, just on the back of the OMA's Educatorium. In the early 90's, OMA prepared the master plan for the renewed University Campus, which encompasses a lot of Dutch Second Modernity's exemplary buildings such as Mecanoo's Faculty of Economics and Management, Neutelings Riedijk's Minnaert Building, UN Studio's NMR Laboratory and OMA's Educatorium. All these buildings are spread on a large site called De Uithof at the edge of the city, hosting about 30.000 among staff and students. The BasketBar, together with the Educatorium, represented the only extensive meeting place for all this population, until the large black library was built. photo: Naomi Schiphorst .

WKK energy plant Address Limalaan 3584 CL Utrecht Netherlands . To increase the capacity of two existing power stations on the Uithof in Utrecht, a new building (6000m3) appeared. The size and construction of the building are largely determined by the technical requirements. A skin of self-supporting Cor-ten steel is folded over the machinery and the giant filters and dampers and keeps the noise pollution to a minimum. Its silhouette differs according to one's perspective, lending the building a sculptural force in the landscape. . Project is public! . . . . . . .

Educatorium Address Leuvenlaan 19 3584 CE Utrecht Netherlands http://www.uu.nl . Situated in the centre of the University Campus the Uithof, just outside the centre of Utrecht, this building is most famous for its use of concrete. The concrete construction of the building folds and forms the floor, wall and ceiling in one curved motion. In the ceiling, steel reinforcement bars emerge from the exposed concrete slab. Steel and concrete dissociate allowing each material to work at optimum efficiency: the 20cm thick concrete slab is made to span 21 metres. "Composed of two planes which fold to accommodate a range of distinct programs including an outdoor plaza, two lecture halls, cafeteria and a testing facility. Planes interlock to create a single trajectory in which the entire university experience – socialization, learning, examination – is encapsulated." Bad detailing or lack of proper maintenance has caused the facade to look old and worn out, even after a couple of years. photo: Piotr Krajewski . Project is public! . . . . . . . . .

Let’s hear the architect: “It is a place where people can work in a concentrated fashion, but also one where they can meet others without the need of any other stimulation except the atmosphere that the building radiates. The book depots divide the space into zones interconnected by stairs and slopes. All in black figured concrete on which a partly double-glazed facade to which a silk-screened figurative pattern has been applied in order to let natural light in. Based on the idea that silent communication is important in a building where there is hardly any talking, the atmosphere had emphasis on creating a sense of security. That was essential for choosing a black interior. A light, shiny floor provides enough reflection to illuminate the books and white tables make it possible to read. The bar, lounge, reception, auditorium, desks, are all fitted with red rubber, thereby breaking down the mono-functionality of the library program. . Project is public! . . . . .

Minnaert Address Leuvenlaan 4 3584 CE Utrecht Netherlands . All circulation space of this central university building has been concentrated in one big hall on the "piano nobile" of the building. It constitutes the communal gathering place and living room for all staff and students in this part of the campus and gives access to the restaurant, the study centre and the laboratories. In the middle the hall has a large pond of 10 x 50 metres that collects the rainwater and is used as a cooling device for the building. This hall is actually outside. The facade of the building is clad with undulating sprayed concrete of pigmented red earth color. The Minnaert Building is part of the Faculties of Geosciences, Physiscs and Astronomy. Hence the ‘brown’ earthy colors on the outside, and the cave-like feeling that arouses in the central hall. Prof.dr. Marcel Gilles Jozef Minnaert (Brugge, 1893) was astronomic and chemo-physicist. photo: Bjorn Utpott . Project is public! . . . . . . . .
