The Market Hall was designed by architects MVRDV . The gray stone building has an arch shape as a horseshoe . It has both faces a glass façade. The laminated glass panels, most of which are square and 1 485 millimeters wide, are hung in a cable net facade of 34 meters high and 42 meters wide, which thus is the largest in Europe. Each façade has 26 vertical and 22 horizontal lines. [4

Artwork [ edit ]

The inner facade of the Market Hall is lined with a 11,000 m2 (two football fields) great artwork of Arno Coenen , entitled Cornucopia. This title refers to the Cornucopia , a horn from the Latin mythology that symbolizes abundance and saturation. [5] The artwork shows highly magnified fruits, vegetables, grains, fish, flowers and insects. In the background is the tower of the Laurens church to see. The artist tried with his piece "that childlike sense of wonder you had when you used to Erik and Insects Book [sic] read or Alice in Wonderland "recall. [6] According to the atheistic Coenen is his work "a worship of Nature, an ode to the universe, "which he calls" just as impressive and divine "as the story of creation . [6]

To render the huge file of 1.47 terabyte servers were used which are also used for the films of Pixar Studios .
