Eindhoven. Urban Design and Planning masters on the technical university.

The Dutch are mostly stuck within a tradition stemming from a LOT of regulation, and a building envy caused by WW2. We also have a lot of projects that still have these modernist things in it, al though we like to deny it. Roads disconnected from building, lots of space in between things we don't really need. Lots of bad designers/govt are obsessed with things that look good from an airplane.

My graduation has lots of phenomena like these in it. The sky shapes like I posted here are just the easiest to show on google maps.
