Wij zijn CIVIC. Wij maken publieke architectuur.

Goede architectuur lost problemen op, grootste architectuur combineert dit met het sublieme, sensuele, uitzinnige, provocerende of intrigerende.
Zo nu en dan lukt het om iets exceptioneels te maken.

Wij geloven in architectuur door onderzoek. We combineren ‘proven technology’ met nieuwe concepten, theorie met praktijk, stedenbouw met detaillering. Architectuur draait voor ons om het realiseren van ideeën.

Faq

Does that work out, a design company with four partners?

It looks like it, yes. We believe that societies thrive when there is room for different perspectives and lively conversations. We intenalized this belief by having four equal captains on the Civic-ship. In each project two partners are directly involved with the work, and the other two reflect on the project in-house. We share the authorship together.

Does Civic only do public buildings?

No. But also: Yes. We believe the profession of architecture is per definition a public task and therefore should show responsability and accountability towards societal themes and public impact. This is true for all types of architectures. That’s why in each project we design and engineer with public values in mind, whether we are working on urban plans, residential buildings, university buildings or museums.

What is this ‘The Cloud Collective ’ -thing

This notorious society consists of spatial design companies and individuals with a common history in Eindhoven, and a shared perspective on the societal role of spatial design. The members share inspiration and now and then collaborate for projects. We worked with ‘Studio Matters’ on the exhibition of the BookFair Pavilion and the graphical artwork on the Tolhuiskade appartment building, for instance, and with ‘Bright’ on the Willem-II-Passage and the Piushaven Pavilion.

What did you do in the LocHal project ?

We understand that human minds have difficulties grasping this constellation of companies and design responsabilities, with so many collaborators as LocHal had. Trying to keep it simple and clear: The team of Braaksma&Roos, InsideOutside and Civic did together design the whole building itself. Basically all the things which are fixed: The concrete, steel, glass, big textiles, wooden flooring and staircases and all parts of the historic architecture you see. Mecanoo did the interior: basically everything you can take out without cutting or sawing, and the plaza café. Here is a GIF that shows it in the simplest possible way. And here is another one.
