Courthouse design through a social-justice lens

Bringing architecture into conversation with law and socio-legal fields, this collection examines how courthouses are conceived and experienced. Its scope runs from consultation and design choices to the effects of both material features and less tangible aspects of court environments on the people who use them. Contributions draw on criminology, anthropology and the perspective of a former senior federal judge, giving the subject an interdisciplinary frame. The book treats courthouse architecture not simply as a matter of buildings, but as a setting where design and questions of social justice intersect.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Architecture readers interested in public and civic buildings
  • Readers exploring connections between law, design and social justice
  • Those interested in interdisciplinary approaches involving criminology or anthropology
