“REVITALIZING THE PAST TO ENTER THE FUTURE”

RE-CONTEXTUALIZING THE HISTORICAL BUILDING IN THE PAST

TAKING THE CHOICE OF THE ORIGINAL ARCHITECT AS A GUIDE

AND IN THE PRESENT

REFERRING TO THOSE RELATION OF VOLUMES AND FORMS WITH CONTEMPORARY CHOICES

THE TOWER AS ENTRANCE

THE “FARO” AS JUDGES ENTRANCE

AND AS REFERENCE POINT

AND AS REFERENCE POINT FOR JUSTICE

THE ORIGINAL VOLUME WAS A

MUSIC ROOM AND LIVING ROOMS

THE VOLUME ADDED WILL BE THE NEW CONFERENCE HALL AND GUEST HOUSE

THE SYSTEM OF DEGRADING TERRACES FOLLOWED THE CONTOUR LINES OF THE PARK AS THE CURVED SHAPE OF THE PRINCIPAL BUILDING

WE HAVE TRANSLATED THE SAME TOPOGHPHIC CONCEPT THROUGH NEW

LANGUAGE OF ARCHITECTURE

RESPECTING THE PARK AND THE ENVIRONMENT

THE PRE-EXISTING BUILDINGS THE PROJECT REFUSES AN HYPOTHETICAL INTERVENTION OF “RIPRISTINO”

IT STARTS FROM THE ORIGINAL PROJECT OF

CESARE VALLE AND AIMS TO REINTERPRET ITS IMAGE IN A CONTEMPORARY KEY

A GLASS MADE PUBLIC LOBBY WILL BE ADDED TO THE ORIGINAL BUILDING IN A SUBTLE WAY

ABSTRACTING THE FORM OF LANDSCAPE TO CREATE AN ARCHITECTURE FRIENDLY TO THE ENVIRONMENT

LEANING TOWARDS THE PAST AND NATURE

HISTORY AND JUSTICE LINKED BY TIME

THE SUPREME COURT

THE SCHOOL OF MAGRISTRATES

A CENTRAL PUBLIC SQUARE AS A “FORUM ROMANUM”

A GARDEN SQUARE TO MEET PEOPLE, LAWYERS AND STUDENTS

A PLACE TO DISCUSS AND TO EXCHANGE OPINIONS

“here once lay the pubic and political centre of the metropolis, here policies were crafted and history was

made”

THAT REMIND TO THE ANCIENT “FORUM”

THE NEW BUILDING OF THE SCHOOL WILL RESPECT THE HISTORICAL ONE ON ITS HEIGHT
