Text description provided by architect.
Located on a triangular parcel next to the entrance to the city, the Police Station is part of the creation of a new civic center close to the historic neighborhood.
The police station is on the edge of what is essentially a pavilions zone within proximity of the Northern gate to the medieval city of Provins.
A site which, in 2001, was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List.
This highly symbolic position gives the building an important status: it must maintain the continuity between the residential quarters of the North and the historic center of the South, and be worthy of such on all its faces, including when seen from above.
