Arch numbering - de Hofbogen

In April 2007 Hofbogen started numbering the spaces under the arches of Hofplein Station. The design and the idea were by the artist and graphic designer Gerard Hadders (Buro Plantage), who is also responsible for the new house-style for Hofbogen. The reason for numbering the arches is on the one hand as an attractive herald of the future transformation and on the other the enhancement of the identity of this monument. The numbering will in time be gradually extended to the other parts of the viaduct and already reaches well into the Bergweg district.
