Team 1 presented their interpretation of a court of last resort. “People find themselves here if it has truly escaped them to form an alternative solution to their legal problem,” states team member Narda Beunders of ByBali architects. “The building reaches out to people by literally and figuratively being its own poster board. Making the court building more visible to the community is an interesting theme: can you develop a courthouse that immediately shows what is meant to take place while setting an example in which fewer lawsuits are needed?”
