This project is based on realistic data and it is worth mentioning that the new Court building will be constructed in the same site with the same commitments and needs of spaces and employees as in this project. The main aim is the direct access to the building from the main road and also the best usage of the sun. In general, it is obvious the axes that are used are 'strict', in relation with the strictness that is found in a Court of law
The functional relations were the key for the shape and form of the building. They were chosen due to the necessary coexistence of different functional relations. Therefore, the functional readability of spaces and the different units will be easily seen in the building form. In addition, the 5 courtrooms were really important for the shape of the building. This copper construction of these rooms differs from the rest and they can easily be separated from the other shapes of the construction.
The external space is formed with a more of a free way, which is in contrast to the 'strict' form of the building. The water surfaces can create a better climate and a feeling of wellness and cooling. The slope of the site is smooth (1,5%) and therefore, it doesn't affect the design proposal.
In general, the main aim was to create a building form that, although didn't consist of one unit, created the impression of a building complex. The repetition and the clear shapes were those that helped to achieve a single architectural style.
