This team designed a courthouse in which clarity concerning judicial questions is central to the legal process. “For us, it is not a question of whether or not we are moving towards a digital legal system, but when and in what form”, according to team member Rozemarijn Koopmans and David de Zwart of Multitude. Teammate Jan-Richard Kikkert of K2 architects: “Our goal is the reinvent the legal system and to give everyone who has access to the internet control over their own rights, through the use of an open-data cloud.” There is therefore no physical building, only a digital approach.
This document outlines a proposal for a courthouse designed for problem-solving courts. It compares the traditional legal approach of courts to the problem-solving approach. The problem-solving approach is more people-centric, focuses on interests rather than differences, and aims to solve problems rather than assign blame. The proposed courthouse design incorporates public spaces to facilitate dialogue between multiple stakeholders. It aims to make the courtroom less formal and emphasize the judge's role in solving problems fairly rather than passing judgment.
This document discusses four theories of judicial behavior - the attitudinal model, strategic model, labor market model, and formalism. It then tests these theories by analyzing the shift from the Warren Court to the more conservative Roberts Court. While the attitudinal model argues ideology drives outcomes, the document notes proxies for ideology are imperfect and judicial tools are blunt. It explores factors like a justice's appointing president, background, and "ideological drift" over time to more fully understand shifting court outcomes.
This document provides guidelines for integrating AV/IT infrastructure into court facilities. It discusses the needs assessment process, design details for technology-enabled courtrooms, courthouse infrastructure planning, and considerations for new construction and renovations. The keys to successful technology implementation are careful planning, thoughtful design, expert involvement, and coordination among all stakeholders. The goal is to create functional facilities that seamlessly integrate technology.
The document provides information about DLR Group, an integrated design firm, and their expertise in designing courts. It discusses their approach of collaborative, interdisciplinary teams to produce sustainable design excellence. It then summarizes several court projects designed by DLR Group, highlighting their approaches to integrating the buildings into their contexts and communities while meeting functional requirements.
The judicial court system of Pakistan consists of multiple levels of courts with differing jurisdictions. At the federal level, there are three levels of courts - district courts which exist in every province, high courts that have appellate authority over lower courts, and the supreme court which has exclusive jurisdiction over disputes between provinces and appellate jurisdiction over high court decisions. Additionally, family courts have exclusive authority over personal status cases and appeals go to the high court. A federal shariat court was also established in 1980 to examine if any laws conflict with Islamic principles as laid out in the Quran and Sunnah.
This document provides an overview of the structure and functions of Pakistan's court system. It discusses the different types of courts including the Supreme Court, Federal Shariat Court, High Courts, District and Session Courts, and Special Tribunals. It outlines the hierarchy and branches of each court. It also describes the qualifications for judges, number of judges in each court, and key functions like interpreting the constitution, examining laws for compliance with Islamic principles, hearing civil and criminal appeals, and trying serious criminal cases.
The document provides a summary of the group's documentation project of the Courthouse Museum in Batu Gajah, Perak. It includes 27 group members who measured and documented the building over multiple days. Diagrams and figures are included to show the building's architectural features, floor plans, and structural elements. The summary describes the building as a historic courthouse from the British colonial era that has been converted into a museum, and provides background on its function and the documentation work conducted by the group.

The judiciary system of Pakistan consists of several levels of courts. At the highest level is the Supreme Court, followed by High Courts in each province. Below the High Courts are District and Session Courts that operate at the district level. The judiciary interprets and applies laws in Pakistan, which is an Islamic republic where laws must be consistent with Islam. The judiciary resolves disputes between citizens and the state, determines the constitutionality of laws, and settles conflicts between government institutions. Pakistan's judicial system originated from the British system that was in place prior to independence.
The document describes the US court system from lowest to highest levels. It begins with local justice of the peace courts and moves up through municipal, juvenile, state circuit courts, intermediate appellate courts, and state supreme courts. It then discusses the dual federal and state court systems and the jurisdiction and roles of federal district courts, appellate courts, and the US Supreme Court as the highest court in the country.
Join us as Finegold Alexander presents the study for the Lowell Trial Court, a 250,000 SF state courthouse designated by Gov. Patrick’s Zero Net Energy Building Task Force as one of three public demonstration projects addressing the challenge of designing public buildings to high sustainability standards.
The engineering components of the study involved proposals for energy reduction and on-site production, investigated through a multitude of computer models and cost-to-benefits charts and analysis. Architecture and architects must change. Architectural form is a critical element in achieving any sustainable goals, including zero net energy. This session will look at the Lowell Trial Court design process and the iterative schemes the team produced. We will discuss building massing, orientation, urban context and all the elements we always address in every project. Now we find our attitudes toward these traditional design criteria are influenced by the integration of sustainable design. Design for zero net energy caused this team to think and collaborate differently with consultants, client and user groups.
COMPLETE DESIGN PROCESS OF A ROOFTOP WIND TURBINE AS A PART OF ISTANBUL COURT...Altair
As EIA indicates, about 6% of the transmitted electricity is lost during transmission and distribution phase. Production of electricity where it is consumed plays an important role in lowering these losses and infrastructure costs. In order to supply the electricity of the İstanbul Courthouse, an 800kW setup renewable energy project, which micro-wind turbines and solar panels would be set up on the roof of the building, was initiated. In order to analyze the wind characteristics of building and near environment according to wind speed changes away from it, transient computational fluid dynamics analyses that have around 12 million elements were solved using AcuSolve including turbulent atmospheric boundary layer assumptions. In addition to CFD analyses, wind data is collected from 37 points obtained from CFD results with 3-D ultrasonic anemometers distributed at the roof for one year, to obtain annual wind characteristics of whole building. After having an insight about the wind distribution a modified savonius wind turbine with rated power of 20kW was designed and efficient setup regions was obtained after engaging CFD results and measured 1 year wind data. Optimum aerodynamic geometry that will convert as much of the wind’s energy as possible to electricity was sought with the aid of AcuSolve. With the help of aerodynamic forces obtained from CFD analyses, thickness of the blades, shape of the blade supports and their thicknesses were found via Optistruct size, shape and topology optimization tools. Static analysis of the turbine frame was solved by Radioss. Vibration analysis of the turbine and rigid body motion controls of all actuators and moving parts were conducted using MotionSolve. After all the design steps are fulfilled, first prototype was manufactured. In order to verify the analysis results, vibration and stress measurements were carried out by Istanbul Technical University Mechanical Engineering Faculty, Strength of Materials Laboratory. Before transferring the turbine to the roof, a 30 million element-CFD analysis with two rotating frames that are on two gradual levels of the roof was solved in order to examine the effect of one turbine on the other. The prototype was then taken to the roof of the building to realize performance tests and measurements.

The hierarchy of courts in Pakistan consists of several levels, with the Supreme Court at the top. Below the Supreme Court are the Federal Shariat Court, high courts (including provincial high courts), district and sessions courts, and various special tribunals and boards. The Supreme Court is the highest tier and has powers like overturning presidential orders and protecting citizen rights. High courts are established in each province. Below them are district and sessions courts that handle daily proceedings. Special tribunals address issues like banking, taxes, and narcotics.
The document summarizes the judicial system of Pakistan. It discusses the following key points:
1. The judicial system has evolved over time from Hindu, Muslim, and British rule and is now based on English common law mixed with Islamic law.
2. The system includes the Supreme Court, high courts, district and sessions courts, special tribunals, and family and juvenile courts.
3. Appointments of judges were reformed in 2010 to establish a judicial commission and parliamentary committee process in response to allegations of favoritism.
The document discusses Pakistan's judicial system. It has a hierarchical structure with the Supreme Court at the top, followed by high courts in each province, and subordinate civil and criminal courts at the district level. The Supreme Court has the power of judicial review and to strike down laws as unconstitutional. High courts have appellate jurisdiction over lower courts. Alternative dispute resolution systems like jirgas also operate, especially in tribal areas. Justice and rule of law are important to uphold citizens' rights and resolve disputes in a systematic manner.
