Supreme Court
Singapore, Singapore
Singapore's new Supreme Court is organised to reflect the hierarchies of the judicial system. Its twelve civil courts, eight criminal courts, three appeal courts and Academy of Law facilities form a series of identifiable blocks, cut through with public arcades. The Court of Appeal is symbolically raised above all the others, occupying a disc-like form at the top of the building - a 'space-age' iteration of the classical courthouse dome, clad in dark grey aluminium panels with tinted glass windows. The rest of the building is clad in 'rosa aurora' marble - a translucent stone that articulates the concept of the transparency of Singaporean justice.
