Description:
Balancing Trust is a graduation project developed within the Complex Projects graduation studio at TU Delft, under the theme Bodies & Buildings. The design proposes a new courthouse in the center of Milan. The project explores how institutional architecture can balance authority with openness, rethinking the courthouse as a civic space embedded in the urban fabric. Through spatial, typological, and material investigations, the design aims to create a justice center that feels accessible and dignified, rooted in Milan’s architectural identity while responding to contemporary demands of public trust and institutional clarity.
