2003年伊始， 一個令人驚奇的公車站竣工于Hoofddorp’s Spaarne醫院的前院。此設施坐落于廣場中央并給當地的公車服務提供中轉服務。在過去，這種設計類型往往中規中矩。不過我們的目標是創造一幅非一般的有視覺沖擊性的圖景。因此，此車站的設計我們依據奧斯卡·尼邁耶奠定的傳統，在白色現代主義和黑色巴洛克主義之間尋找交點。

此車站完全由泡沫聚苯乙烯和聚酯建造。在全世界用合成材料建造的結構里面，沒有能比它更大的了（50米 x 10米 x 5米） 。有限的預算決定了傳統的建造方式是不可行的。

人們經常好奇此車站的造型的隱藏于表面之下的內涵。對于這個問題有幾種可能的答案。 從建筑角度上講，一個正確的答案是我們可以說它是塊被腳步和視線雕琢的巨礫。從哲學的角度上講，我們可以說無招，即讓造型在過程中自我塑造，才可以勝有招，即一開始就定下造型必須如何。 從設計過程的角度上講，我們可以說這樣的結果是設計過程的直接產品。在此次設計過程中，因為參與人員都要在不熟悉的技術領域探索，直覺起了很大作用。所有這些答案都是正確的卻又都是無關緊要的。 如同藝伎的白色妝容， 每個個體都可以對這個建筑有不同的意見，不過建筑本身不會給予任何答案。

At the beginning of the year 2003 a bus station was built on the forecourt of Hoofddorp’s Spaarne Hospital. This facilities block is located in the middle of a square and is a public area in the form of an island that serves as a junction for the local bus service. The design of this kind of building is generally neutral， but here the aim was to create a strong， individual image that was less austere and generic. Hence， the building was designed in the tradition of Oscar Niemeyer as a cross between white modernism and black Baroque.

The building is completely made of polystyrene foam and polyester and is， as such， the world’s largest structure in synthetic materials （50m x 10m x 5m）. The available budget meant that it could never have been created using conventional construction methods.

People often wonder about the building’s shape and what it represents， and there are a number of possible answers. A correct answer in architectural terms is that it can be viewed as a large boulder that has been worn away by footsteps and sight lines. A correct answer in philosophical terms is that it can be regarded as a form that has not been pored over but which simply allowed itself to be discovered. A correct answer in terms of the designing process is that it can also be explained as a product of this process， which in this case was somewhat intuitive because of the unfamiliar technical terrain in which everyone had to operate. All these answers are simultaneously correct and irrelevant. Like the white face of a geisha， every opinion and image can be projected onto the building and it has no answers of its own.
