SHORT DESCRIPTION

"Poetic Justice" on over 14,000 m². Modern justice is given a new face in Dublin under a protective copper dome. The striking high glass façade made of laminated safety glass rises above the forecourt and represents the time-honored institution of justice with its contemporary appearance. Various façade levels, made of glass elements suitable for Irish weather conditions, measuring 7 x 2 m, equipped with bronze-colored perforated aluminum sheets as glare protection, allow daylight to enter the numerous courtrooms, staircases and the central large hall and offer visitors a view to the outside. However, they themselves remain protected from prying eyes. Behind the sawtooth-like façade construction, which provides sun, sound and heat protection on all ten floors above ground, lies a functional building that is easily accessible and clearly laid out for visitors and does justice to its role as the location of the supreme criminal court.
