| Designs revealed for two major new judicial buildings in Madrid Designs for the first two buildings on the new Campus of Justice in Madrid - the Regional Appeal Courts and the High Court – have been revealed by Foster + Partners. As the largest single site dedicated to justice in Europe, the Campus will reinvent the judicial process in the region by fully integrating its many existing buildings. The two distinct circular volumes of the larger Audiencia Provincial (Regional Appeals Court) and the smaller Tribunal Superior de Justicia (High Court) establish a dynamic relationship, and are linked by an open public plaza. Environmentally, both buildings are efficiently oriented to minimise unwanted solar gain, while allowing natural daylight inside. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
