Project information
A detention center is being built on part of the former NAVO-terrain near Ter Apel for the benefit of asylum-seekers who are not allowed to stay in Holland. The walled complex will be made out of several elements e.g. an entrance building, a big shed (already existing within the NAVO-complex) an office and three identical buildings which will house the cells.
The division of these cells is as follows: leading from a central hall are the two (mirrored) wings with the cells. These wings taper towards the end and therefore the perspective is accentuated.
The first floor consists a second layer of cells and is placed on the first layer. Above that is a street of light. Because of this light and the pigmented concrete (gray/orange/ochre) the building has a warm and light character.
Commission
The starting point of the commission is to give each of these identical buildings their own identity through plastic art. The corridor of light and/or the floor can be the location for this commission. The work could use elements like constructions (hanging, suspended) and drawings (floor) that are in proportion to the architecture, light, colour and the function of the building. There is Fl. 110.000, - available per building/commission.
