Tarsus Court Of Justice

having a powerful image with an institutional identity and public characteristics...”
Acting as a bridge between the past and the present, Tarsus - one of the biggest towns of Turkey –, due to its bigness and density was in need of a modern court of justice. The building of the court has a powerful image, owing to its institutional identity and public characteristics. The location of the site on the development axis of the city and the existence of a green area on the north of the site are important criteria for taking site plan decisions. Integration of the square as an entrance plaza of the building with the existing green area and urban public spaces is proposed as significant design criteria. Therefore, the entrance plaza has spatial and functional importance. It is a significant part of the design due to its role in establishing architectural values and formal composition of the building. Moreover, it acts as a representation space of the court of justice enhancing the institutional identity of the building.
