The place of justice contains mechanisms of control and supervision with a distinct spatial hierarchy. The building which was intended for the benefit of the public, stands alienated and elevated from the city and the urban texture. The systems’ clear boundaries creates three main users that exist simultaneously and separately in the structure: the judge, the defendant and the guest. This project introduces a fresh approach to courthouse design, fundamentally transforming the relationship between the legal institution and the public. The design concept is rooted in the idea that boundaries are not fixed or absolute; instead, they can be employed to create complex and asymmetric spaces that encourage dialogue and interaction. Located in the heart of Netanya, near key public amenities, the project underscores the court’s significance within the community. By designating the building as a community court, incorporating public programs, and making it accessible to the street, the project seeks to integrate the public as a vital component of the space- a place where justice is not only served but also witnessed.
