POLICE STATION SCHOTEN  photos Dujardin Filip
The new police station is used as a catalyst for urban development. Where most new police stations neglect their role as public institution, this building maximizes it. The L-shaped figure forms the angle of a new square, an alter ego to the surprisingly urban central square of Schoten: ‘de markt’. A series of atriums turns the interior into a flow of open spaces, a continuation of the public character of the outside.
