JuBi Building

JuBi Building is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand JuBi Building rather than just read about it. In short: The JuBi Building (also known as the Turfmarkt Towers) is a high-rise office building complex in The Hague, Netherlands. Built between 2008 and 2012, the complex consists of two distinctive towers standing at 146 m (479 ft) tall with 37 floors each.

Key takeaways

JuBi Building belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect JuBi Building to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of JuBi Building from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The JuBi Building (also known as the Turfmarkt Towers) is a high-rise office building complex in The Hague, Netherlands. Built between 2008 and 2012, the complex consists of two distinctive towers standing at 146 m (479 ft) tall with 37 floors each. They serve as the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice and Security and the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations.

History The complex was designed by Hans Kollhoff, who inspired its appearance by old skyscrapers in the United States. It was built for 330 million euros by the Royal BAM Group, Ballast Nedam, Homij and Royal Imtech N.V. companies on behalf of the Government Buildings Agency. Its complex was inaugurated in December 2012. The complex consists of low-rise buildings and two 146-metre-high towers. The main entrance is located at an atrium between the two towers, from where they can both be seen: one red, the other white. The building has a floor area of 132,000 m2 (1,420,000 sq ft) and provides space for a total of 4,000 workstations. The management of the building is the responsibility of the group service provider within the central government, FMHaaglanden. The complex—along with the De Kroon residential tower —replaced the De Zwarte Madonna residential building on The Hague's Turfmarkt Street, which was demolished in early 2008. The pedestrian route between the Den Haag Centraal railway station and the shopping district runs through Turfmarkt. The new building, along with De Resident, has been a significant development in the Wijnhavenkwartier district.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with JuBi Building

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what JuBi Building claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to JuBi Building before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about JuBi Building ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of JuBi Building

In research: JuBi Building appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses JuBi Building in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: JuBi Building is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2012 establishments in the Netherlands, 21st-century architecture in the Netherlands, Buildings and structures completed in 2012, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for JuBi Building outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is JuBi Building in simple terms?

Why does JuBi Building matter?

Because it connects several engineering ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study JuBi Building?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
