The project centralizes most of the justice departments of Barcelona and L’Hospitalet de Llobregat,The most significant proposal of the project is to fragment an ambitious program in a series of separate but interconnected buildings. The buildings are grid blocks, with bearing walls of reinforced and colored concrete, each with a different color. The atrium is the main public space of the complex and acts as a street filter for distribution and access to court premises.
