Royal Dutch Military Police Campus Zvi Hecker's Landscape Urbanism

Situated close to Schiphol Airport, Zvi Hecker's new police campus for the Royal Dutch Military Police is located in the Randstad area; the ‘rim city’ conurbation that comprises the four biggest Dutch cities - Rotterdam, Amsterdam, The Hague and Utrecht - and has come to epitomise the most intensive European condition of dispersal. As Rafi Segal describes, Hecker chooses to address this context by providing the campus with ‘a notion of the urban’ that creates ‘a city within a wall’. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
