Subordinate Courts



Image Credit: Serie Architects


I first saw this design a week ago (or so, I can't quite remember) while I was reading the papers, and I thought to myself, what a clean design for a court; what a neat way to suggest the strength and transparency of the Singapore legal system through an architectural metaphor.

Looking at the design again in closer detail, it is particularly interesting to note that the walls are clad in a terracotta material, forming quite a nice link with the surrounding (colonial terracotta-roofed) buildings.
