  • This Public Safety Building is an example how only a few prefabricated parts can suffice to create an unusually striking, brutalist façade.

  • Demolished in 2020. The building had structural problems, particularly crumbling facades. It had been closed since 2016. Public Safety has moved to another building. New multi-use facilities will be built on the site.

    This building was included in the red list, published in our exhibition catalog SOS Brutalism: A Global Survey (September 2017). After a status review on September 23, 2024, it was reclassified in the online database from red (endangered) to black (demolished).
