Shocked by
the current
Stroomhuis
model
2025
The Stroomhuis was a cultural centre in Eindhoven. Sadly, the iconic building was lost to a large fire last October 2024. The Stroomhuis was known for its concerts and for connecting the music scene. It was also a place for art and design. After the fire, many people in the cultural scene felt shocked. For Eindhoven-based designer and former tenant Rosalie Braamkolk, it was a time to reflect: how do we commemorate something that ended so drastically?
This playful model is a reconstruction, based on memories. It shares the story of what happened in the Stroomhuis. The work is a homage to resilience. What was created there, lives on and needs to find a new home in the city. This work is not only about losing a venue, but also about the value of cultural spaces. These are places where one can create and where ideas come to life. Braamkolk wants to express that we must appreciate these places, and the people who contribute to them.
The model has been presented at the City Hall Eindhoven and the VanAbbe Museum
