Every year the High Water Protection Programme (HWBP) publishes their project book. The project book describes which dike reinforcement projects are programmed for the next five years. Besides an overview of future projects, the project book also offers an inspiring reflection on the field. Flux landscape architecture has worked on three HWBP project books in the past three years and has thus shed new light on the dikes of the Netherlands. In the three HWBP books, the dikes of the Netherlands are examined in more detail, based on the topics chosen by Flux: circularity, mobility and biodiversity. Now that this trilogy has come to an end, we look back on inspiring research and collaboration.

As a first elaboration of the Eindhoven Green Vision, Flux has made a sketch design for Wilhelminaplein. In consultation with residents and entrepreneurs, a proposal has been developed in which Wilhelminaplein is transformed from a parking square into a climate square. In this climate square, water from the surrounding neighbourhoods will be collected, large trees will provide cooling on hot days and pedestrians will be given more space in the design. The terraces that are present on the square will be subtly incorporated into the design, and there will be room for accommodation, play and small events. In the next phase, the design will be further elaborated in consultation with the neighbourhood. The Wilhelminaplein is one of the 10 new green spots in Eindhoven that are on the agenda in the Eindhoven Green Vision.

Commissioned by the municipality of Eindhoven
