18th Region Labour Complex / Atelier Daniel Corsi + Dani Hirano + Nishimura Estúdio de Arquitetura

Held in 2007, the National Public Competition for the TRT Law Courts Complex 18th Region reaches its conclusion after a long process of almost fifteen years. It is important to highlight the fact that its realization – strategically carried out in phases – fully respects the original proposal, a rare event in our national context, especially considering its large scale. Considering its public and collective vocation, the consolidation of this institution is a fact that reaffirms the value of the efforts made by so many during this period: workers, civil servants, designers, architects, engineers, public authorities, among many others. Thus, what we witness is the consummation of the idealized primary character of offering a free, democratic and open public space to the city, today alive in the growing appropriations by the population of an increasingly denser context and still scarce of civic spaces of this nature.
