The studio covered exercises that explored expression, materiality, structure and connected all of these sequentially. The final project is a translocation of Moshe Safdie’s unbuilt project, originally designed for the context of Jerusalem, Israel; now an International Court of Arbitration for the G20. Ideas that Safdie developed in the original project, such as the use of overwhelming scale, public spaces to encourage community gathering, and hierarchy of open and closed spaces, were reinterpreted and explored, keeping in mind the new context and program; all while keeping the architect's intent in mind.
