Third prize for GINA BARCELONA ARCHITECTS + JSWD Architekten GmbH & Co. KG: COLOGNE JUSTICE CENTER COMPETITION The city of Cologne will build a new complex for the Cologne regional and district courts and the public prosecutor’s office. Our concept envisions separate buildings for different offices, reducing the overall volume of the complex and enhancing its approachability. The staggered arrangement of buildings allows visibility from the main road, while a network of public paths crisscross the ensemble, bringing it closer to the public. The ground floor of the new Justice Campus in Cologne seamlessly connects with the surrounding green areas, emphasizing accessibility and integration with the urban environment. Wide glass foyers blur the boundary between interior and exterior, creating an inviting atmosphere for engagement. Additionally, the buildings are designed with flexibility in mind, allowing for future alterations to room structures without major interventions into the building fabric. The façade concept reflects a harmonious blend of materials, with varied treatments, including a combination of recycled concrete or natural, together with the warm tones of wood in the foyers extend a welcoming invitation to visitors, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal and sense of community within the Justice Campus. Gina Barcelona Architects and JSWD Architekten GmbH & Co. KG and the landscape architects at GREENBOX Landschaftsarchitekten for the two-stage general planning competition. The awarding authority was BLB NRW. Congratulations to HPP Architekten GmbH on winning first prize. .

3. PREIS FÜR JSWD: JUSTIZZENTRUM KÖLN Für das Amts- und Landgericht sowie die Staatsanwaltschaft Köln soll am bisherigen Standort ein neuer Gebäudekomplex entstehen. Unser Konzept sieht vor, die verschiedenen Funktionen jeweils in solitären Gebäuden unterzubringen. Das relativiert die Baumasse. Es entsteht mehr Bürgernähe, auch dadurch, dass die gestaffelt angeordneten Gebäude von der Hauptverkehrsstraße einsehbar sind und ein öffentliches Wegenetz das Ensemble durchzieht. In der Ebene Null verbindet eine großzügige und mit Tageslicht versorgte Magistrale alle Häuser miteinander. Flexibel: Mögliche zukünftige Veränderungen der räumlichen Strukturen sind ohne großen Eingriff in die Bausubstanz möglich. Beim zweistufigen Generalplaner-Wettbewerb hat JSWD mit Gina Barcelona Architects und den Landschaftsarchitekten von GREENBOX Landschaftsarchitekten zusammengearbeitet. Auslober war der Bau- und Liegenschaftsbetrieb NRW (BLB NRW). Herzlichen Glückwunsch an die Erstplatzierten HPP Architekten GmbH. . THIRD PRIZE FOR JSWD: COLOGNE JUSTICE CENTER The city of Cologne will be building a new complex for the Cologne regional and district courts and the public prosecutor’s office. Our concept envisions separate buildings for the different offices, making the total volume of the complex less overwhelming. The staggered arrangement of the buildings means that they are visible from the main road, and the ensemble itself is crisscrossed by a network of public paths, resulting in closer proximity to the public. On the ground floor level, all of the buildings are connected by a spacious ring-shaped corridor filled with natural light. Flexible: The buildings are designed so the structure of the rooms can be altered in the future as needed without requiring any major interventions into the building fabric.
