SYNOPSIS
This book traces the origins of the major extension to the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg. Through working documents, plans, texts and accounts, it describes the various stages in the development of the architectural project, from the initial ideas through to the definition of a complex capable of supporting the institution’s growth. The book highlights the functional, urban and symbolic challenges associated with creating a courthouse for Europe, as well as the design approach that guided this major extension.
