the brief called for a non-hierarchical building that incorporated flexible spaces, capable of adapting to future requirements. in response, mauricio rocha and gabriela carrillo decided to group related programs according to their uses. behind the perimeter wall, which is made from volcanic stone obtained from the site, a series of fluid spaces have been conceived as a succession of gardens. this ‘exposed system’ intends to highlight a sense of openness — expressing transparency, equality, and democracy.


accessed via gently inclined circulation routes, the single storey structure is divided into four platforms that contain five enclosed pavilions. two courtrooms are included as part of the development, alongside administrative offices and other services. the architects paid close attention to the structure’s materiality, believing that by incorporating locally sourced materials the building would evoke a stronger sense of belonging for the community.
