JUSTICE CAMPUS.
Ideas Contest.
2005. MADRID

GENERAL SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSAL.

The design adapts to the slope of the surrounding streets, with a gentle descent west to east.   

The highest buildings are located to the north of the ELC controlled pedestrian area, with the mountains of the Sierra as a backdrop.  The lower and most representative buildings are located to the south, forming the facade that faces the city. 

Lightweight structures form subtle wings that look like petals floating on the campus agora and serve to provide shade, moderate the action of winds and mitigate noise pollution, in addition to their core function as photovoltaic cells for the production of solar energy. 

This series of sails unfurled above the public space that vertebrates the campus, in addition to providing protection, is a symbol of the meaning of justice.  

The modular composition of the buildings is flexible to enable the space to adapt to different needs that change over time.  

The singular configuration of the multiple ring road circling the entire complex and its connecting spokes, provides maximum underground accessibility to all buildings in the complex, and the possibility to establish a wide range of alternative routes.

Two different collection and delivery bays are proposed, located at the entrance to the restricted vehicle area and equipped with the necessary security mechanisms.  Additionally, specific secondary bays have been provided for deliveries and collections in each building and for distribution and exchanges between buildings.    

The security blocks are equipped with parking stations for security vehicles transporting persons in custody, with a specific station for the transport of minors.  

Security vehicles access the complex through two double lane entrances located at each end of street 7A on the north boundary.  

The car parks for public administration employees and the public are located underground.  

The area dedicated to employee car parks is located inside the secure zone and their underground location corresponds above ground with the restricted garden areas identified as ELS, secure zone.

Pedestrian access has been located at the four external access points to the controlled pedestrian space, identified as ELC and which meet underneath street 2.  

A fifth access control is located between the ELC controlled pedestrian area, surrounded by buildings operated independently, and the area formed by the remaining campus buildings, in order to address their different usage in terms of working hours and security controls.
