该项目是国际竞争的必胜项目。这座建筑是威尼斯城市体系复杂性的一个嫁接，它面向罗马广场(Piazzale Roma)，这是通往威尼斯城市的汽车入口空间。与此同时，它变成了“基础设施”，使一家现有的19世纪复杂工厂(Ex-Manifattura Tabacchi)得到了当代的应用：事实上，它容纳着为整体服务的技术系统。

Inhabited infrastructure The project is a winning entry of an international competition. The building is a graft in the complexity of the Venetian urban system facing Piazzale Roma, the car-entrance space to the city of Venice. At the same time it becomes the 'infrastructure' which brings an existing 19th century complex factory (Ex-Manifattura Tabacchi) to a contemporary use: in fact it houses the the technological systems serving the whole.

建筑的尺寸是在对面圣地亚哥卡拉特拉瓦大桥对面的罗马广场的巨大空隙上测量的。一个巨大的，五层高的空间，作为一个“城市入口”，受到屋顶的启发，就像所有以前的工业建筑一样。

The dimension of the building is measured on the huge void of Piazzale Roma facing the bridge of Santiago Calatrava, on the opposite side. A huge, five level high space acts as a 'urban entrance' enlightened by the roof as all the ex-industrial existing buildings.

这个垂直的室内空间在白天向免费入口开放，将在地面上提供商业服务，以便改善和还给公民一个很大的公共空间，也可以作为进入公共空间序列的入口，这些公共空间将随着现有建筑物的未来恢复而恢复。新卷有一个简单，原型，紧凑的形状，由操纵威尼斯工业建筑类型和连接到天际线的巨大停车场。

This vertical inner space,  opened to free entrance during the day, will house, on the ground level, the commercial services which will allow to improve and give back the citizen a big public space, functioning also as an entrance to the sequence of public spaces which will be regained by the future restoration of the existing buildings. The new volume has a simple, archetypical, compact shape, resulting from the manipulation of the Venetian industrial building typology and the connection to the skyline of the huge parking lots.

罗马广场上的一个5米长的悬臂变成了入口：一个巨大的影子吸引着新城市系统中水平流动的人们，垂直地沿着一个线性楼梯或垂直分布到各个层次的电梯。线性楼梯的设计平行于圣马可停车场的立面，让我们可以把这个立面设计成小窗户的标点符号，在里面设计一种特殊的自然光。

A five meter long cantiliver on Piazzale Roma becomes the entrance: a huge shadow which attracts the fluxes of people horizontally in the new urban system and vertically along either a linear stair or elevators which distributes to all the levels. The linear stair is designed parallel to the elevation facing the parking building San Marco, letting us to design that elevation as a punctuation of small windows designing a special natural light in the inside.

建筑物的材料是一种预氧化型的Tecu铜。威尼斯的铜是用来建造所有机构(宗教和世俗)建筑屋顶的材料。在这个项目中，物质性和形式变成了一个象征制度的隐喻：正义之家是一个巨大的单体屋顶，在一个开明的空间里欢迎公民。我们总是在物质和光的作用下工作，鼓励和促进氧化，从表面减去物质并用光激活材料，这就是时间的作用。在威尼斯，“时间”的概念是典型的。

The material of the building is a preoxidated type of TECU copper. Copper in Venice is the material with which all the institutional (religious and laic) buildings' roofs are built with. In this projects, materiality and form become a metaphor representing institution: the house of justice is a big monomateric roof which welcome the citizens inside an enlightened space. We always work with materiality and light, instigating, with pro-oxidation, the idea of subtracting material from surfaces and activationg them with light, which is what time does. Working with the idea of 'time' is archetypical in Venice.
