架构师提供的文本描述。新的联邦刑事法院大楼位于Stefano Franscini，位于前商学院所在地，其两层正面建筑已得到保护。这一新古典主义作品被认为是入口建筑，同时具有代表性和朴实性，即使在翻修工程之后，它也保持着作为主要入口的作用。它现在是联邦刑事法院的新家。

Text description provided by the architects. The new Federal Criminal Court building is located on Via Stefano Franscini, at the place of the former School of Business, whose two floors frontage building has been conserved. This neoclassical oeuvre has been conceived as the entrance building, being at the same time representative and austere, and it keeps - even after the refurbishment works – its role as primary entrance. It is now the new home for the Federal Criminal Court.

就在它旁边将有“普雷托里奥”，这将是其他用途之一，州刑事法院总部-这一计划也将需要翻新工程。将在这一结构和联邦刑事法院之间建立一个公共广场。

Right next to it there will be the “Pretorio” which will be among other usages the head office of the Cantonal Criminal Court – this program will also need refurbishment works. A public square is going to be built between this structure and the Federal Criminal Court.

在古代主楼的后部，新建了三层白色混凝土结构。它采取新古典建筑的塑料特征，通过存在小的叠合悬臂-来自堆叠的地板-和狭窄的开口。在立面上重复这些开口会让人联想到一座办公楼的形象：办公空间占据了外墙的周边。两个庭院为室内空间提供自然光，并在这个密集的结构中充当定向点。

In the rear of the ancient main building a new white concrete structure with three floors was built. It takes the neoclassical building’s plastic character through the presence of small superposed cantilevers - originating from the stacking of floors - and narrow openings. The repetition of those openings on the façade evokes the image of an office building: workspaces occupy the perimeter of the façade. Two courtyards provide natural light for the interior spaces and act as orientation points within this dense structure. 

然而，在大楼的核心，人们发现了新机构的象征：主审判室由小的探视室介绍，毗邻第二审判室和新闻室。与瑞士的其他刑事法院一样，该法庭在讨论期间向公众和媒体敞开大门。在顶层，图书馆占据了主法庭周围的空间，而新古典主义建筑则容纳了餐厅和会议室。

It is, however, in the core of the building that one finds the symbol of the new institution: the main courtroom introducted by the small visiting room,  adjacent to the secondary courtroom and the press room. As other criminal courts in Switzerland, this one opens its doors to the public and media during the discussion sessions. On the top floor a library occupies the spaces around the main courtroom while the neoclassical building houses the cafeteria and meeting rooms.

两个特征将法庭建筑定义为两个明显相反的两极：光滑、白色的混凝土和审判室内的装饰。自然光在这座建筑中也扮演着重要的角色，因为它给了空间一种谨慎的宁静。

Two features define the Court’s architecture as two apparently opposite poles: the smooth, white concrete, and the ornamentation within the courtrooms. Natural light has also an important role in this building since it gives spaces a discreet serenity.

审判室是在暴露的白色混凝土中实现的，这对于这类程序来说是一种罕见的选择，因为大多数审判室都有-出于声学原因-木地板、天花板、墙壁和家具，往往是深色的。

The courtrooms are materialized in exposed white concrete, an uncommon choice for this kind of program since the most of the courtrooms has – for acoustic reasons – wooden floors, ceilings, walls and furniture, often in dark hues.

“伸张正义”一直是一项基本活动，不仅对利益攸关方，而且对社区生活都是如此。不足为奇的是，维护司法总是与特定的空间相联系，例如，君主的王座会议厅、议会会议厅或教堂的神圣空间。因此，这一新提案的建筑灵感是多方面的。

“Delivering justice” has always been a fundamental activity – not only for stakeholders but also for the communities’ life. Unsurprisingly, the maintenance of the Justice has always been connected to particular spaces like, for instance, the throne chamber of the sovereign, the Parliament Council Chamber or the sacred space of a church. Therefore, the architectural inspirations for this new proposal are many.

审判室被设计成方形的楼面空间，每一间都有一个金字塔状的穹顶，天窗为这些地方提供了自然的光线。穹顶的表面是丰富的装饰穿孔三角板，这创造了一个有趣的模式，暗示巴洛克元素。这种花纹在圆顶表面蔓延，就像树枝和树叶在树冠上一样。

The courtrooms were conceived as square floor spaces each one topped by a pyramidal dome with a skylight that provides natural light to these places. The surfaces of the dome are richly ornamented with perforated triangular panels which create an interesting pattern suggesting baroque elements. This floral motif spreads through the domes' surfaces just as branches and leafs do in the canopies of the trees.

这里存在着光滑与可塑性、清醒的客观性与不朽、正义与仪式、逻辑与表象之间的概念联系。混凝土的白色不仅指的是清晰、纯洁和真实，而且也是指空白页和不偏不倚。因此，安静的，甚至神圣的，呼吸似乎穿过法庭。从这个角度来看，人们可以把贝林区的新联邦刑事法院大楼描述为一个既和平又现实的巨大建筑。

Here lies the conceptual connection between smoothness and plasticity, sober objectivity and monumentality, justice and ritual, logic and representation. The white color of the concrete refers not only to the clarity, purity and truth, but also to the blank page and impartiality. Thus, a quiet, even sacred, breath seems to cross the courtrooms. From this point of view one can describe the new Federal Criminal Court building in Bellinzone as a monumental structure at the same time peaceful and realistic.
