Springfield Federal Courthouse

Stull and Lee, Inc.

Springfield Federal Courthouse is a three stage GSA Design Excellence competition. Stage 1 is a firm portfolio, Stage 2 is a team booklet, and Stage 3 is the final design competition between 3 firms. The concept of the design is to create a large civic icon that occurs where a main street in Springfield starts to turn, creating a visual closing to the site. The intent of the design is to create a grand central space open to the sky with courtrooms surrounding the space. The form is created by use of rigid geometeries of a circle, square, and triangle which respond to basic human visual understanding.

This project was designed with sketches and 3d modeling in Form Z.
