Summary/Abstract: Headquarters of secret services and public security institutions are typically build as suburban office parks, surrounded with parking lots, or as downtown citadels, situated close to government districts. They are huge, inaccessible and strongly secured structures. Formerly their images used to be classified, but now, very often, their contemporary architecture, which resembles university campuses or corporation headquarters, is being used as a marketing tool to create a desirable public image, suggesting that they are open, transparent and democratic institutions
