De Volle Ondergrond

Envisionaires

Frederik Deschuytter.

Eindhoven grows and reaches for the sky. This also affects the ground beneath our feet. How can we lay secure foundations for a blossoming future? THE WORLD BENEATH OUR FEET immerses you in the foundations under the city. Welcome in the underground world of water pipes and sewers, optic fibres and electricity cables, refuse containers and parking garages. The ground under our feet is fuller than you might imagine. So it’s high time for a smarter approach, for now and the future. 

In a city that is literally brimming with plans for the future, the ground is so jam-packed that there is barely any space left for new trees to sprout roots. All the while, current issues are laying claim to the space under our feet. The energy transition and climate adaptation, not forgetting the supply of drinking water and sustainable mobility too. 

With THE WORLD BENEATH OUR FEET Eindhoven municipality puts the foundations of the growing city on the agenda. The exhibition demonstrates the importance of adopting a new perspective for considering what is in the ground and challenges everyone to recognise the substrate as an integral part of all future urban developments.
