The Shape of Justice

Louise Schouwenberg

In the first issue of this impeccable new journal on urban design, the Dutch Government Buildings Agency collaborated with students at the Design Academy Eindhoven to develop a design for the new Court of Justice building in Amsterdam. After researching the role of justice in today’s world, students made proposals for the new building, both inside and out, including: how to use universal symbols on and around the building; dealing with the accused, the victims, visitors, and people working in the building. The intriguing end results are shown in drawings, photographs and models, and explained in crystalline texts in English.
