Evoluon

[1] The building is unique due to its very futuristic design, resembling a landed flying saucer.

It was designed by architects Leo de Bever and Louis Christiaan Kalff,[2] while the exhibition it housed was conceived by James Gardner.

[2] Its concrete dome is 77 metres (253 ft) in diameter and is held in place by 169 kilometres (105 mi) of reinforcing steel bars.

In the UK the Evoluon is chiefly remembered from Bert Haanstra's wordless short film entitled simply Evoluon, commissioned by Philips to publicise the museum, and shown as a trade test colour film on BBC television from 1968 to 1972.

Bespoke 3D-visuals of the saucer section of the building descending from space were used in the live rendition of their track Spacelab.
