Bronx Criminal Courthouse Complex Bronx New York
A significant portion of the project involved devising energy-efficient solutions for the all-glass curtain wall concept formulated by the architect. The curtain wall delineates exterior corridors which connect the various functions of the building. The purpose of the glass facade is to provide real and symbolical transparency; to direct light into core zones (courthouses, jury rooms); and to create a transition zone between the environment and the courtroom system. .
