The Building Design of Ruy Barbosa Labor Courthouse

The architect Decio Tozzi has designed the Ruy Barbosa Labor Courthouse in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The building has 124,000 sqm constructed area on 15,228.91 sqm site area. The courthouse building was design by following the vertical axis. This design results in the organization of four blocks, two by two. The blocks are separated by double height empty spaces where collective support activities pertaining to the daily life of the judiciary complex take place.

The vertical circulation is made through twenty fast lifts, four of which are restricted to the private use of the judges. All the floors are interconnected with a system of multiple ramps that very effectively comply with the required circulation of approximately 20,000 people per day. On the ground floor level there is a restaurant, a bank, a telephone center, a post office, a bookshop and a 500-seat auditorium which is open to the community.
