来自专筑编辑罗晓茜，许航的报道，在盐湖城的新美国法院的设计源自我们一直寻找的一种形式：象征着美国司法系统强大的、标志性的、透明的、平等的特征。由此产生的新法院的立方体形象，就像南方犹他州的巨大的山丘，就是这样的一个主要形式，突出植根于土壤的尊严，不可动摇的秩序以及平等面对四面八方的面孔。 40万平方英尺，10层楼高的法院位于包围了整个城市街区的平台上，包括现有的，历史悠久的联邦法院。花园平台通过公共区域连接了两栋法院大楼，不但为盐湖城的中心城区提供了公共设施，同时也满足了街道的安全退缩要求。 The design of the new United States Courthouse in Salt Lake City emanates from our search for a form that is strong, iconic, transparent, and metaphorically egalitarian as a symbol of the American judiciary system. The resulting cubic mass of the new courthouse, like the monumental buttes of southern Utah, is just such a primary form, projecting grounded dignity, immovable order, and an equal face to all sides. The 400,000 square foot, 10-story courthouse resides in a garden setting on a level terrace encompassing the entire city block including an existing, historic Federal Courthouse. This garden terrace unites the two courthouses in a public-access amenity for the downtown area of Salt Lake City while establishing a required federal security setback from the street.

该建筑包括了十个犹他州区域法院的法庭，14个法官套房，法院办公室，美国法警服务、美国缓刑及其他联邦行政机构。新旧法院的停车场和服务区都设置在地下2层。这个建筑未来还可以容纳8个法庭。主要的公众入口设置在West Temple街，将法院与城市中心联系起来。 The building contains ten courtrooms for the District Court of Utah, fourteen judges’ chamber suites,  administrative Clerk of the Court offices, the United States Marshal Service, United States Probation, and other federal agencies. Courts parking and service for both new and existing courthouses occurs on two underground levels.  Eight future courtrooms can be accommodated within the constructed volume by office relocation.  The main public entry occurs on West Temple Street, linking the courthouse to the civic core of the downtown area.

建筑的外立面由玻璃和铝制幕墙组成，向城市展现了法院的动态，同时给内部公共和办公空间提供了广阔的城市景观。外墙由垂直铝阳板组成，这种随着太阳方位和室内使用改变角度的透明材质，就像给建筑蒙上了一层保护的面纱。反射着柔和光线的电镀板和透亮的玻璃共同展现了这里非常迷人的自然光线：透过Wasatch山脉的太阳光静静地溢到了大盐湖。 The building’s encompassing glass and aluminum façades expose the life of the courthouse to the city while providing expansive views from the public and office spaces within.  A quilt-work pattern of exterior, vertical aluminum sun screens tempers this transparency with a variable, protective veil that changes quietly with the solar orientation and the interior use.  The softly reflective anodized finish along with the crystalline transparency of glass accentuates the distinctive quality of natural light in this pastorally urban setting as the sun passes over the luminescent Wasatch Mountains and across the Great Salt Lake.

这个获得LEED金奖的建筑的室内设计，使公共空间和私人空间都可以享受到自然光。三层高的主入口大厅占据了建筑的西南角，对于两条主街道而言就像一座灯塔，成为市区的奠基石。在建筑的核心，天光的照明延长了建筑物的高度，给中庭的公共电梯大堂带来自然光。中庭将包含一个10层楼高的玻璃雕塑，该艺术装置是由美国著名玻璃艺术家James Carpenter（詹姆斯•卡彭特）设计的，进一步将自然光引进到空间。在这里，公共等候区北部和南部扩展到建筑周边，营造了一个明亮的中轴线。建筑的主要功能 ——法庭 ，占据了建筑的四个角落，沐浴在自然光当中，给司法程序带来清晰度。 This LEED Gold building, in its interior planning, celebrates daylight as an intrinsic quality of both public and individual space. The three-story main entry lobby occupies the southwest corner of the building serving as a beacon to the two primary streets and marking a cornerstone of the broader downtown area. In the core of the building, a sky-lit atrium extending the height of the building brings natural daylight to the centrally located public elevator lobbies. This atrium will contain a 10-story sculptural glass art installation by the renowned American glass artist James Carpenter that further siphons natural daylight into the space. From here, public waiting areas extend north and south to the building perimeter creating a light-filled central axis. The primary functions of the building – the courtrooms – occupy the four corners of the building, bathed in filtered natural daylight, bringing clarity and context to the proceedings within.
