DESCRIPTION
This team focussed upon courts that aim to help people solve their problems. “We imagine a large glass greenhouse, open to the public, located at the site of the current Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which will soon need a new function,” states architect Judith Schotanus. Team member Elsbeth Ronner adds: “All the courtrooms and public spaces are designed to stimulate social interaction and dialogue. We also provide judges with the possibility to influence the physical space according to the needs of a case. For example, a judge will have the ability to make a room smaller in order to put pressure on the parties to reach an agreement.”
