RESUMO

This project analyses the relationship between architecture and society, focusing on Courthouses in the state of Pernambuco, Brasil. The conceptual framework of this study is the believe that these two dimensions, social and spatial, are interdependent, where, in one hand, the social rules of a institution influence the spatial configuration of a building. The building on the other hand is believed to influence behavioral patterns and events in accordance with social rules. Based on these principles, this project tries to establish if the social structure of the institution, representing power, hierarchy and control, are reflected in the spatial structure of the building where the institution is located. This analysis was based on the concepts and methodologies laid out in the Social Logic of Space. Results suggest that that the social function of the institution is not reflected in the building as a whole. Such is the case, however, in the most ceremonial space, the courtroom, that retain the formalities required by the institution, and which are expressed by a controlled hierarchical spatial structure that is symbolic of power
