dc.description.abstractThis dissertation has two departure points: the social phenomena of crime, particularly in Delft, and a concern with the character of institutional buildings, particularly in 'township' areas. These two departure points intersect in an interrogation of the police station as an architectural type, particularly the Delft Police Station. The police are often referred to as the 'thin blue line', suggesting an agency that delicately differentiates between the community and criminal activity. The apartheid era has left this line thickened and its effects are still felt in the buildings that it left behind, despite the shift from a police force to a police service, post-1994. This dissertation hopes to reconfigure this line in both; a physical way, through built form but also a social way, using mixture of programme. To produce a building that encourages interaction with the vibrant community, Delft.en_ZA
