Piazza Center

[1] Opened in 1969, the Piazza was originally an open-air square, housing a red marble sculpture group designed by Mario Negri.

In between was Perry van de Kar's sporting goods store with a tunnel to the right that led to the Fellenoord [nl] neighborhood of Eindhoven.

[2] Ultimately, the activities mentioned did not fully meet the wishes of shoppers, the square looked a bit messy and the shopping center was not running smoothly.

Negri's works of art were moved to the other side of De Bijenkorf, and the steel pipe sculpture designed by Frans Gast[nl] was placed in Henri Dunant Park.

An impressive steel entrance gate was built and a walkway was also added to the adjacent MediaMarkt electronics superstore and parking garage, located on the other side of the Boschdijk tunnel.
