根據荷蘭埃因霍溫中心1998年的總體規劃綱要，福克薩斯建筑事務所開發了其中相關的4個項目：

- 九月十八廣場，占地7 000 m2，地下停車場達2 300 m2 ，可停放1700 輛自行車；

- 廣場購物中心，占地約20 000 m2 并帶有6 000 m2 的辦公空間；

- 媒體中心、銷售電器和電子設備的商店；

- Admirant 入口建筑。

九月十八廣場及其周邊建筑群是總體規劃的焦點，它們代表了埃因霍溫商業活躍軸線之中最重要的樞紐。這4個項目一起成為內城再發展的一個成功案例。

Admirant入口建筑是荷蘭知名建筑開發商Heijmans房地產公司同期開發的新購物區的一部分。它就位于新片區和九月十八廣場之間的邊界上，形成了進入購物軸線的主要入口。

這個顯著的位置需要一座標志性建筑物：Admirant入口建筑完全滿足了這種要求。它燦若珠寶、奪人注目，引導行人漫步而入嶄新的街區核心。

Admirant入口建筑的設計基于一種徹底的形式追求的路線，設想中它應具有天馬行空變幻莫測的設計：傳統的規則在此已不適用。

比之貼身林立的周鄰建筑相比，這個新建筑第一眼看上去就像一個非晶體或者生物，就如一個未名天體般呈現在已有的建筑群中。人們起初會認為此等異類會對現存建筑產生意想不到的影響，因此該項目一度曾被凍結停滯。

然而，仔細地觀察，建筑充滿運動氣息。在不同的方向展示了動力學，強度不斷變化。速度流在兩個立面材料的對照物中具有自己的源頭。晶狀結構，海藍色玻璃與清晰的白色面板形成鮮明對比。開放曲面與封閉曲面可以平穩地替換，并能夠輕輕地流過。

項目包含兩個部分：5 層樓高的混凝土結構主體與玻璃和鋼的外表面均十分鮮明。商業空間位于首層和二層，辦公空間位于三層和四層（附加一個設備層）。

立面的幾何形狀從垂直表面變化到無定形的形態，從而創造了動感的建筑內部空間。樓層形狀實際上由立面的形態來決定——首層達950 m2，而最高的辦公層有250 m2。除了樓梯間，建筑內部沒有阻擋視線的豎向元素。

另外，由于非正交的外形，Admirant入口建筑沒有方向性。它平滑的曲線使其被一種動態流動所環繞。它既無前亦無后：這一點在建筑的最外層會深有體驗。自遠而望，很明顯這座建筑狀若飛旋，如同巨魚出水，驚鴻一現，復又深潛。

Following the outline of the masterplan in 1998 for the center of Eindhoven in the Netherlands, Studio Fuksas developed the four projects associated with it:

- The 18 Septemberplein, a square of 7.000 m2 with an underground parking of 2.300 m2 for 1.700 bicycles;

- The Piazza Shopping Mall, a shopping center covering approximately 20.000 m2 with 6.000 m2 of office space;

- The Media Market, a store for the sale of electrical appliances and electronic equipment;

- The Admirant Entrance Building.

The focus point of the masterplan is the 18 Septemberplein, with its surrounding buildings: these represent the most important hub of the axis of the commercial activities in Eindhoven. The four projects,together, proved to be a great success in inner city redevelopment.

The Admirant Entrance Building is part of a developed shopping area by Heijmans Real Estate, a prominent Dutch building developer. It is located just at the border between the new quarter and the 18th September square, forming the main gateway to a new shopping axis.

This prominent position called for an iconic building: a request that the Admirant Entrance Building fulfilled entirely. It is like a precious jewel, that attracts the public’s attention and leads pedestrians to the heart of the new district.

The project of the Admirant Entrance Building is based on an intensive formfinding process whose result has prescribed for an unpredictable design: conventional design rules lose their meaning.

Compared with the immediate surroundings, the new architecture seems to be at a first glance like an amorphous or organic object. Like an unde fined celestial body, the new building appears between the building fronts: one might think that an unexpected impact in the existing structure left behind its mark,whereby the object has been stuck or frozen.

On closer inspection, however, the architecture is full of movement. Dynamics go in different directions and with varying intensity. This further flow of speed has its origin in the contrast of the two facade materials: crystalline, the maritime blue of the glass is in contrast to the dense and clear white panels.Open and closed surfaces alternate smoothly and fl ow over softly.

The building consists of two elements: the 5-storey high primary concrete structure and the glass and steel envelope. Commercial spaces are located on the ground and fi rst level and of fi ce spaces on level three and four (plus an additional technical level).

The geometry of the fa?ade varies from vertical surfaces to amorphous shapes, which create a dynamic inside of the building. In fact, the floors – whose shapes are determined by the form of the fa?ade – reach the 950 m2 on the ground floor and 250 m2 on the highest officelevel.

Except for the staircase, no vertical elements block the visual connections on the inside of the building.

Furthermore, due to the non-orthogonal shape, the Admirant is non-directional. Its smooth curves allow a dynamic flow around it. There is no front or back: the building envelope is experienced continuously.Looking at this from a certain distance, it is noticeable that the building is in a rotation. Perhaps a similar appearance to a marine mammal that rises to the surface, shows itself for the briefest moment, then sinks immediately into the depths again.
