架构师提供的文本描述。该项目位于Veracruz的Xalapa市的山顶上，通过引入一个实体的、半埋的建筑体积来承担该地点的向下地理位置。建筑物本身的设计是一个平衡的形状，这唤起了正义。

Text description provided by the architects. Located at the top of a hill overviewing the city of Xalapa, Veracruz, the project undertakes the downward geography of the site by introducing a solid and half buried volume over which the building is raised. The design of the building itself is in the shape of a balance, which evokes justice.

第三卷，长方形棱镜，位于垂直位置。棱镜的实心两端悬挂在悬臂梁上，作为天平的天平。在内部，法官们对所领导的审判作出判决。

A third volume, a rectangular prism, lies in a perpendicular position over the plinth. The solid extremes of the prism are suspended in cantilever, acting as the scales of the balance. Inside, the judges dictate the sentences for the trials that are lead.

同时，天平的天平在功能上与出入平台相关，形成外部有盖的走廊，允许进入大楼并提供会合点。

At the same time, the scales of the balance are functionally related with the access platform, creating exterior covered hallways, allowing the entrance to the building and providing meeting points.

内部服务核心阻挡了西面的阳光，造成了太阳辐射和工作区域之间的自然隔离。它们还允许适当的通风，通过建筑物散发新鲜空气。与其他节能措施相结合，这一自然系统只允许建筑物使用常规办公大楼耗能的一半，从而确保其可持续性。

The interior service core obstructs the west sunlight, creating a natural isolation between the solar radiation and the working areas. They also allow for proper ventilation, distributing fresh air through the building. Together with other energy saving measures, this natural system allows the building to use only half the energy consumed by a conventional office building, ensuring its sustainability.
