Concept (District Court) Architectural Design: Courtyard

The document summarizes the design concept for a new district court building. It includes three main blocks - the judges' chambers, lawyers' block, and courtrooms - arranged around a central courtyard based on a circular design element. Each block and function has its own entrance and parking area. The material used is brick and glass, and the radial circulation design reinforces the central focus of the circular concept while allowing apparent rotational motion.
