Nr. 201
Winterthur Judicial Center
The new judicial center combines existing and new buildings to form a functional, precise system with clear divisions and targeted connections. Organized like a small town, it offers orientation and space for a variety of uses. Its neutral, understated design with durable, neutral materials creates a dignified living and working space. The therapeutic aspect takes precedence over the repressive – architecture that functions and at the same time enables humanity.
