Frank Beek) General Contractor Heijmans NV and Nieuwenhuizen Daandels Bouw BV Engineering Office Krekon Konstruktie-Adviesburo BV Construction Period From September 2009 to June 2010 Location Veldhoven, The Netherlands Nature and culture were the most important starting points for Architect Frank Beek in the new design of the open-air stage “De Plaatse” in Veldhoven. Concrete has been chosen as material for the aesthetical aspects and the advantages concrete has regarding maintenance and its resistance against vandalism. The roof with a diameter of 10 m and a thickness of only 150 mm, built in white concrete, has been designed as ‘floating’ as possible. The only supports of the roof are two disc-shaped walls, with a thickness of 300 mm, made of anthracite concrete. The other concrete constructions are made of grey coloured concrete.
