TRUCK STOP BORDER PROJECT: A Polyphonic Space of Transit | Studio ilinx & import.export Architecture

For TRUCK STOP BORDER PROJECT, Studio ilinx and import.export Architecture are exploring possible futures for truck stops at the Dutch border. They see these places not just as logistical points, but as social meeting places. There should also be room for healthcare and welfare here. The project begins by investigating the role of truck stops in the bigger picture. It then zooms in on three locations: Hazeldonk/Meer (NL-BE), Mol (BE) and Dinkelland (NL-DE). They explore how these places can stimulate the development of border areas. All the findings will be included in a publication that looks at different levels of scale: from the large European network to the everyday life of the trucker.
