O Tribunal Penal Internacional, Haia, Países Baixos
Projetado por Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects
Uma instituição democrática
A concepção do Tribunal Penal Internacional em Haia comunica confiança, esperança e – mais importante – a fé na justiça e na equidade. É importante que uma instituição formal como a ICC não constitua barreiras para as pessoas, mas, em vez disso, exprime a própria essência da arquitectura democrática.

O edifício é desenhado como uma abstração escultural, – uma composição de seis volumes, firmemente ancorado no local e subindo da paisagem das dunas circundantes.

By designing a compact building with a small footprint, the landscape is returned to the city so that the open spaces, sky, and horizon become an integrated part of the architectural composition.

The entrance is enriched with a wooden sculpture by Danish artist Eske Rex. The piece blends with the lightness and simplicity of the architectural design, creating a distinctive Danish imprint.

Inside, wide courtrooms fulfill ICC's mandate in the fight against impunity for perpetrators of the most heinous crimes. The building also has rooms for journalists and relatives following cases on-site, underscoring the trust and the transparency this court building requires.

With flowers and plants representing more than 120 member countries, the parterre garden is a symbol of unity across nationalities and cultures.

O edifício é um embaixador corajoso para a credibilidade e os valores do ICC.
