"Eindhoven is actually a very small city compared to the big capitals in Europe or the world," says van der Lubbe. "It's a group of about seven villages that grew together into Eindhoven." It is also not a very pretty one. "The centre of Eindhoven really got destroyed [during the Second World War]," Van der Lubbe explains. "They built it up in the fifties and it became a really ugly city. In Eindhoven, it can only get better." See the full article on Dezeen: http://www.dezeen.com/2013/10/24/movi...
