There are almost as many ways to design a good courthouse as one
that is less than satisfactory. Celebrating the Courthouse
illuminates, for the diverse professionals and laypeople who plan
and create courthouses, the issues that must be addressed to
achieve an effective and satisfying building. This book unites the
skills and experience of architects, judges, administrators, and
lawyer-users to guide the design of a complex building type. No
attempt is made to prescribe a particular program for any model
courthouse project. We live in too diverse a design world for that:
courthouse programs are specific and distinct from one another.
Rather, the distinguished contributors lay out a variety of
solutions that can help solve the problems confronted in particular
settings. Considering historical precedent, context, functional
requirements, and public and client needs, they focus on the best
practices in design and also upon some design failures, addressing
the pitfalls presented by courthouse programs, which are among the
most complex that architects face. Finally, they look at the
technological revolution and the future of courthouse design.
