The need for a stronger appearance takes over the image of a court, little by little, to an enigmatic "justice temple". The building volumes cut quietly and hieratically their shapes in the sky of Aix providing the citu with an attentive monument to justice as a social space with a prominent and respectable appearance. The need for a stronger appearance takes over the image of a court, little by little, to an enigmatic "justice temple".

The building envelope marks the court as immediately identifiable. The option for a light and scratch volume would improve its integration on the ciy through a sense of transparency addressing the problem of insertion on the immediate environment (the dispersion of masses build around) and close historic neighborhood.
