SHERIFF

Annotation

Sheriff. A character typology that clearly defined the project's program. A building designed to collect evidence of the events and crimes in a city inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy. It is divided vertically by three floors into a communication and punishment section with cells oriented according to the seriousness of the crime, towards silver city and sin city. The form of the building is based on the context of the location and the established parameters. The given context is the bridge representing the "linear city" where the building is located. The shape of the concrete building is a play on the pre-setting and insetting of the different parts of the building in a relief-like way. The main element of the whole project is the cantilevered room with the purpose of interrogation.
