Palácio de Justiça de Gouveia - design by Barbosa & Guimaraes

17 Jun 2011 Palácio de Justiça de Gouveia Law Courts in Gouveia Design: Barbosa & Guimaraes photos : FG + SG - Fotografia de Arquitectura Gouveia, door for entry to the Serra da Estrela, is going to be served by new Law Courts. The land set aside for construction is located between the public gardens, at the end of the Rampa do Monte do Calvário, replacing an existing building. photos : José Campos, arqf architectural photography The project takes advantage of the demolition of the existing building, which occupied the whole of the plot, to design a new Plaza, with a scale and dignity to receive the Law Courts. In dialogue with the granite walls that define its surroundings, the Plaza takes on the form of a bottling of stone, upon which the Law Courts rest. The building, set on four pillars, ensures transparency and connection between the two gardens that delimit it to the north and the south. photos : FG + SG - Fotografia de Arquitectura The dignity and symbolism that a building like the Law Courts should always have is achieved at the cost of the monolithic and singular character that the volume of white concrete acquires, above all in the expression of its compact elevations, with empty spaces deeply «excavated», as if suspended over the Plaza. A staircase of generous proportions opening onto a patio honours access to the Court floor. The lobby/foyer crosses longitudinally the entirety of the building, communicating directly with the garden to the north, establishing a relationship of closeness with the tops of the existing trees through a horizontal empty space. photos : FG + SG - Fotografia de Arquitectura In the volume, the courtroom stands out, with a set of vertical skylights that subtly light the whole space. The registrars services, which operate independently, are installed in the filled part of the building, open to an interior patio which communicates directly with the north garden. The project foresees a public car park, hidden under the plaza, with access from the adjacent streets. photos : José Campos, arqf architectural photography Palácio de Justiça de Gouveia - Building Information PALÁCIO DE JUSTIÇA DE GOUVEIA 2002-11 FICHA TÉCNICA Local: gouveia Dono da obra: instituto de gestão financeira e infraestruturas da justiça Concurso: 2002 Projecto: 2002-04 Obra: 2008-11 photos : José Campos, arqf architectural photography arquitectura: barbosa & guimarães josé antónio barbosa pedro lopes guimarães colaboradores: miguel pimenta cristina chicau henrique dias josé marques luís monteiro paula fonseca susana machado teresa aroso raul andrade pablo rebelo estabilidade e estruturas: alberto teixeira instalações hidráulicas: luis veloso instalações eléctricas: rga . paulo oliveira instalações de rede de gás: rga . arnaldo monteiro instalações de avac: rga . arnaldo monteiro empresa construtora: josé coutinho s.a. director de obra: rafael luzio photos : José Campos, arqf architectural photography Photography: José Campos, arqf architectural photography www.arqf.net Palácio de Justiça de Gouveia images / information from Barbosa & Guimaraes Palácio de Justiça de Gouveia architect : Barbosa & Guimarães
