Chaos was the law of nature; order was the dream of man...
INTRODUCTION | PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Through all the change of the last few decades, there remains a firm commitment to uphold the authority of the law while making the work of the courts and tribunals relevant, respected, transparent, accessible and affordable. The pursuit of these principles has resulted in considerable restructuring and shifts in the paradigms (generally accepted and structured) of a good justice system. The result is a new judicial building type. The role of the courts, the scope and relevance of justice services, the structure and operation of court administration are like a form of contract that people hold with the government. The importance of appropriate architectures have received, and still receive, critical strategic attention in the designing of courthouses. The need for a well-designed Courthouses are also high because of the growing mismatch between the number of cases being filed and the number of judges available etc.
