Iloilo Hall of Justice

UNIVERSITY OF SAN AGUSTIN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITETURE Chapter 1

ILOILO HALL OF JUSTICE A Hall of Justice in other countries, it is an occasional term for a city's police headquarters, and exists in cities. In some cases, the facility ma y also house courts as well as jails. The existence of a Hall of Justice is n ot a necessity, so much so that it shall have to be located at the ver very y accessible area and not far from the city cit y limits. However, not only does the location matter but also the building itself. It shall have a best design, inside and out, that will best serve its purpose. A perfect package, that will mark the excellence ex cellence of the city. One of the example is the U.S. Federal Courthouse in Jackson, Mississippi was intended to replace the original 1930s-era James O . Eastland U.S. Courthouse. A stark contrast to its Art Deco predecessor, the new facility houses twelve courtrooms and sixteen judge’s chambers, Jackson’s stunning new courthouse received th e 2012 Region 4 Phoenix Award at the 15th National Brownfields Co nference. And the United States Federal Courthouse in Bakersfield a 35,500-square-foot, one-courtroom structure is sensitively sensitively sited in Bakersfield’s only downtown park, creating a modern interpretation of the quintessential one-room courthouse on the village green. It is designed to deliver a high-performance home for the Magistrate Court. Three critical concepts dro ve the  project’s design: symbolic expression of the federal federal courts— communicating communicating the dignity and value of the rule of law l aw by using precedents from the iconic symbols of historic American courthouse traditions; and high-performance building design — elevating elevating the human experience and delivering strategies that add value by significantly reducing.

UNIVERSITY OF SAN AGUSTIN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITETURE 2.1 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

2.1.1 Supreme Court of the Philippines, Manila

The Supreme Court of the Philippines was officially established on June 11, 1901 through the passage of Act No. 136, otherwise known as the Judiciary Law of the Second Philippine Commission. By virtue of that law, judicial power in the P hilippine Islands was vested in the Supreme Court, Courts of First Instance and Justice of the Peace courts. Other courts were subsequently established.

The judicial structure introduced by Act No. 136 was reaffirmed by the US Congress with the passage of the Philippine Bill of 1902 . The Administrative Code of 1917 ordained the Supreme Court as the highest tribunal with nine members: a Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices.

From 1901 to 1935, though a Filipino was always appointed chief justice, the majority of the members of the Supreme Court were Americans. Complete Filipinization

UNIVERSITY OF SAN AGUSTIN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITETURE was achieved only with the establishment of the Commonwealth of the Philippines in 1935. Claro M. Recto and Jose P. Laurel were among the first appointees to replace the American justices. With the ratification of the 1935 Constitution in a p lebiscite held on May 14, 1935, the membership in the Supreme Court increased to 11: a chief justice and ten associate justices, who sat in branch or in two divisions of five members each.

The Judicial Shared Services Building is in P onferrada next to the Sil riverside  park. It is an independent building but designed as an extension to the existing courthouse which, together with two cultural and National Police Force buildings, complete the  block and restrict the entry of light into the extension. It is developed on four storeys above ground level, together with a semi-basement and basement. Although the extension  built has an independent access, security measures have made it essential to design a large shared entrance hall for the two buildings linking them physically and visually on the ground floor and providing a connection using a closed bridge-gallery. The difficulties in terms of sunlight presented by the site and the special climate of Ponferrada, together with the need to illuminate all floors of the court offices, have conditioned the choice of a glass wall for the whole envelope of the building except for the southern facade. To mitigate this circumstance, a double glass skin was c hosen, separating and opening up on the semi-basement and ground floors to generating a greenhouse in the

UNIVERSITY OF SAN AGUSTIN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITETURE shade of these floors. This element is the true he art and climatic lung of the building. The flows of cool, damp air in summer and hot, temperate air in winter generated by this space make it possible to establish air circulation inside the dou ble skin to improve the climatic conditions of the building as a whole. The rest of the materials used on the facade (ochre granite on the south of the  building and aluminum panels on the east and north facades) not only makes it a representative public building, it also allows a simple, continuous compositional interplay of clear volumes and organized appearance providing mobility, in which the interplay of light and shade strengthens the general composition. http://www.archdaily.com/775885/extension-to-the-courthouse-enrique-bardaji-andasociados

From the architects. Since early civilization, the h istory of the courthouse and the city intertwine. The courthouse has always been an important urban artifact, both in Roman cities and in the Jewish tradition. This is also the case with the New Courthouse in Jerusalem. The Courthouse is composed of 2 main parts: the plinth –  containing the communal public functions, and the different courthouse buildings stemming from it. The plinth forms a continuous façade to the street and creates a sense of transparency. It contains the main entrance and th e communal public functions (secretaries of the different courts, library, cafeteria etc) and integrates the courthouse into the city. Above it the various courthouses “grow”. It is characterized by a clear circulation scheme which leads to easy orientation and a sense of place. The different functions are organized around a central “street”, penetrated by a spacious void that connects the three plinth levels and the vertical circulation systems are located in a

UNIVERSITY OF SAN AGUSTIN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITETURE  prominent location creating a feeling that the building is welcoming, clear and not threatening. The courthouses are articulated as separated buildings growing from the plinth, corresponding to the brief that called for such a division. Each court has its own identity, while still being part of the whole, the cit y of justice. The division also allows the project to be executed in phases. The New Jerusalem Courthouse integrates into the Jerusalem context and to the  New Masterplan for the entrance quarter to the city. The delicate balance between the “building blocks” challenges the monolithic image of justice and creates an iconic  building on one hand and human scale and a modest image on the other.

The glass curtain walls create two front-to-back architectural expressions, separate yet harmonious. These glass walls are elegant in their luminosity an d play with sunlight. The building is complex, yet all spaces relate well to one another, generating the feel of simplicity. The public areas are particularly dramatic. The placement of the jury rooms immediately on the entry area impressed the jury. It expresses respect for and celebration of this critical facet of citizenship. The building’s relationship to the welldesigned plaza also impressed the jury. The image of the courthouse in society was of primary concern in the design of the building. The program is organized in a linear manner around an open civic space and layered from public to private, with the publi c circulation, animated by a series of cantilevered stairs, facing the open space. Within the courtyard sets a free-standing public  building that serves as the jury assembly room, gives scale to the space, and is the symbolic as well as formal focus of the project. The exterior wall design responds to the various functions within and orientations of the building. The cu rtain wall facing the

UNIVERSITY OF SAN AGUSTIN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITETURE south and west takes the shape of a folded plane with integrated light shelves that reflect light into the courtrooms and shade the adjacent corridor. The intent is to express the  building as open and inviting, a metaphor for the transparency of the judicial process.

Designed by H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture, the U.S. Federal Courthouse in Jackson, Mississippi was intended to replace the original 1930s-era James O. Eastland U.S. Courthouse. A stark contrast to its Art Deco predecessor, the new facility houses twelve courtrooms and sixteen judge’s chambers, and was created under  the GSA Design Excellence Program. The 400,000 square foot courthouse consists of three distinct pieces featuring an open air rotunda surrounded by two large six-story volumes.

Completed in 2012, the United States Federal Courthouse in Bakersfield (tentatively named the Village Green Courthouse) overlooks the Mill Creek Park and stands as a modern landmark to traditional courthouse architecture. Designed by NBBJ Architects, the facility has  been awarded multiple citations including an ENR California Award of Merit, and GSA Design Award Citation, and numerous recognitions from the AIA Justice Facilities Review. The sophisticated glass structure has also received LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Intended to pay homage to the long established “courthouse on the village green,” a tenet of American design, the courthouse also nods to California’s modernist architectural history through its use of clean lines and glass.

The 35,500-square-foot, one-courtroom structure is sensitively sited in Bakersfield’s only downtown park, creating a modern interpretation of the quintessential one-room courthouse on the village green. Three critical concepts drove the project’s design: symbolic  expression of the federal courts — communicating the dignity and value of the rule of law by using precedents from the iconic symbols of historic American courthouse traditions; regional placemaking —  designing an indoor-outdoor relationship that celebrates the light, landscapes, and tectonic traditions of Irving Gill and Rudolph Schindler, icons of the modernist architectural history of California; and high performance building design — elevating the human experience and delivering strategies that add value by significantly reducing.
