Abstract
The shopping street of Alkmaar, the Laat, is in need of a new public function that creates a domain to stay. The vital location of the former department store offers a space directly into the cultural centre of the city, close by terraces, shops, or other amenities. The local culture of the city of Alkmaar has determined the new experience of the former department store. The former department store of Alkmaar is transformed by adding a public passage where markets shape the spatial experience and where local initiatives are situated in a shared food centre.
