>

The Oudenrijn traffic control centre is operated by the Dutch Ministry of Transport. Central to the process are large television screens in a central control room. The building is designed by section. Three zones (control room, service area and offices) are integrated into a single extruded volume. Approached by car drivers from all directions, the building shows a distinctive face on all sides, with the facade seamlessly extending into the roof. Large bay windows provide daylight and views from the control room on either side.
