Covering something in glass doesn't make it any less monstrous. Paris deserves much better, this proposal is heinous IMO.

^ We saw that rendering yesterday for the 1st time which disgusted most of us I guess.
I'd be extremely surprised and angry if that thing ever gets built as it is on that render.
Be sure most would feel the same over here.

@spartida: actually good idea to open a thread for that mess, we need it to be seen all over the place to ruin it.

Very... authoritative?

Doesn't quite say French liberal democracy to me. I'd be scared to death if I had a court date there... maybe that is the point? ;)

It doesn't look exciting - that's the least to say - but some give a fair explanation for that:
1 - the function of the building itself and the many constraints that it involves. It seems that one needs to be least familiar with courthouses to really be aware.
2 - the government budget at a time when it's facing serious debt and deficit.

Here's a video (http://www.eppjp.justice.fr/EPPJP_WEB/video/EPPJP-Parcours1.html) promoting the project, in French but the pictures are pretty well done and give some kind of clue.
Hope people over here won't hate it too much.

This will be built. The government approved, tax payers will pay. The French brought this to their site.

Even the best glass ever seen wouldn't save it from its bulky boxy looks. They say it's needed anyway, the current Courthouse's too small or something.
Judges and lawyers won't be happy to move there though, because their current place is at the heart of the historic core.
Bah, they'll end up enjoying their views I guess, the close surroundings are just not the same.

Mousquet,

Do you have any photos of the existing courthouse? Exactly which courts will be included, here (national, regional, departmental, communal)? I'm not familiar with the layout of the French judicial system.

The material could work, and the vegetation is a nice added touch, but it's almost entirely negated by the horrible massing, and this may be one of the few times you her me say that something is too tall. BTW, where is this in Paris?

mousquet
Jan 12, 2013, 6:28 AM
Hi,

Well, the Courthouse is currently on the Île de la Cité. It's a pretty large complex of historic structures, some from the medieval era (it includes the Sainte-Chapelle and the Conciergerie), covering a third of the Île de la Cité.
These from Wiki might remind you of the site.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/Conciergerie22.jpg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palais_de_Justice,_Paris

Although it's something large, everybody says it's no longer convenient the way it is. They need something different, modern, maybe even larger and easier to maintain. So the new thing will be located at les Batignolles that's in the 17th arrondissement on the edge of the city, neighboring the suburban town of Clichy. It's not a bad neighborhood, but people who've worked in the old Cité for long will have the blues for a while.

In fact, from looking at the renderings, people have been raising the question to know whether a high-rise building is proper to a Courthouse. That's no regular office building at all, there are some peculiar functional constraints that explain the awkward massing. However (and thankfully), the building won't sit there as a massive fence between Paris and its neighboring suburb. Its orientation will make it easier to look at from Clichy and from the city center, whereas people living on either side of it will have to deal with the huge bulk in their views. Quite strangely, no one would complain in the neighborhood, they're okay with it. Voilà.

EDIT: I forgot to say what's in the courthouse, which would have made the actual needs clearer to myself.

The courthouse of the Île de la Cité includes:

- The Court of Cassation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_Cassation_%28France%29) that's the highest national jurisdiction, like a counterpart of the US Supreme Court to some extent.
- The Court of Appeal of Paris that's a regional jurisdiction, still quite busy, needs more room.
- The superior courts (Tribunal de Grande Instance) of Paris that's only communal and yet the busiest jurisdiction of the entire country, needs more room.
- The bar association headquarters.

A few other things, some related services. The police division assigned to the judicial services isn't within the courthouse complex proper, but in a neighboring building.

So only the superior courts and the police will move from the Cité to the Batignolles. They'll be joined there by the lower courts that have been scattered all over the city so far, that is to say each of 20 arrondissements has a lower court that will move to the Batignolles.

The Court of Cassation and the Court of Appeal will actually remain in the Cité's old courthouse. They'll be joined by the courts in charge of the employment law (Conseil de prud'hommes) and the regional annex of the National School for the Judiciary based in Bordeaux.

This is all about making more room to the various jurisdictions that have been cramped. We've heard of that situation for long in the media from time to time, it's nothing new.

I had a brain fart. Of course it is the Palais de Justice. I'd even visited the Ile de la Cite, specifically the Sainte-Chapelle and Notre Dame.

Thanks for the information. So, basically, this is a local courthouse for Paris, and not a national courts building. BTW, as I'm sure you know, a lot of municipal and county courts here in the States are housed in towers even less aesthetically pleasing, for instance, here is the courts building in my hometown of Detroit (to the left):

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7245/7046891049_26a33c4b6d_z.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/hellek23d/7046891049/)

So this isn't horrible, but they could have done better with the massing.

^ Right. Some people swear it was possible to spare us from those superimposed bars. It seems the designers focused on providing as much daylight as possible to the inside. That's been stressed in a French video promoting the project.

Since we're in high-rise courthouses, I like this a lot in New York:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/05/Marshall-courthouse1.jpg/768px-Marshall-courthouse1.jpg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thurgood_Marshall_United_States_Courthouse

That's not only some pretty neoclassical, the massing is fair too. But I'm not sure it would even be large enough for what's required in this case.

The site on which this bulk will sit would be getting busy. I haven't gone to this area in years so I can't say anything about it, but some are seeing the preliminary work beginning.

Also, there's that sample of glass already.

It just looks like what they advertised, transparency as the symbol of a fair, fully independent justice with nothing to hide... :rolleyes: mhm...

I can't remember but I'm wondering whether most of it wouldn't be double skinned anyway. That's what it appears to me by seeing this for example.

Specially designed to spur nimbyism even more in the world capital of NIMBYism. Sure the legions of local nimbys will take advantage of this one in the fight. I still hope I'll be proved wrong, but seriously, can you just imagine the effect of that massing on the surrounding mid-rise fabric of the 17th arrondissement? If you think your average Parisian will appreciate, you're quite optimistic at the very least.

That's even the only highrise under construction over entire metro Paris at the moment since the couple of new towers in la Défense is now completed, the still slow local office market not allowing any more office tower construction for now, and the most relevant and ambitious project, privately funded Hermitage is still blocked by legal procedures while except for the little redevelopment of the public space around, it wouldn't cost a dime to taxpayers. :shrug: Go figure.

What I meant is whether regional or national, the public authorities don't have unlimited budgets, and they're in fact excessively indebted these days over here. Ain't you aware of France's situation at the moment? It's kind of worrying. So I'd rather see the taxpayer money mainly allocated to pressing needs and priorities. Now a new and large annex of the historic courthouse in Paris seems indeed necessary, that's what everybody says. But they could at least have tried something both cheaper and more subtle. Cause this is... How should I say...?
Very... authoritative?

Doesn't quite say French liberal democracy to me. I'd be scared to death if I had a court date there... maybe that is the point? ;)
That's just about it. It looks like the damn Supreme Soviet. A neat mid-rise complex may have been both cheaper and more friendly looking, but whatever. This is what we'll have in couple of years from now.

The telegram talks about a bulletproof glass façade, a concrete structure to resist explosions and 300 cameras watching anyone all around.


hmm, so it may be difficult to storm this facility and free the prisoners next time. :cool:

Wow that is a lot of cranes for this project.

Interesting that they used Luffing jibs compare to fixed jibs, they could have used less cranes and still managed the same amount of area. It must come down to lifts per hour, which makes me think they are in a hurry to get this building up.

This will be built. The government approved, tax payers will pay. The French brought this to their site.

1ehD1wfvg7E

Even the best glass ever seen wouldn't save it from its bulky boxy looks. They say it's needed anyway, the current Courthouse's too small or something.
Judges and lawyers won't be happy to move there though, because their current place is at the heart of the historic core.
Bah, they'll end up enjoying their views I guess, the close surroundings are just not the same.

We may have the same problem in Rome.
For almost a decade there was claims to build something like in paris far out the center of the city.
Currently there are different buildings in Rome for justice admin. all in center(not historic center, but near) in Prati.
Once they put out of the center of the city this kind of buildings will create more porblems than not.
The traffic i think in Rome like in Paris it is even more problematic when you go out from or into the core of the city at certain hours.

This building is not far out of the center of Paris.
It is at 2.5km of the Arc de Triomphe, 4.4 km of Les Halles.
At Paris scale, this area is still inside the dense core, the 17 arrondissement has 30,000 inh/km² and Clichy on the other side has 19,000 inh/km².
The area is served by the metro line 13, the RER C and the line 14 by 2019.

Wow, I didn't realize it was so close to La Place de L'Étoile.
What I find funny is that all the discussion are centred around Tour Triangle while another skyscraper is being built before the eyes of everybody.
Few people seems to aware of this tower, in the English speaking media, Tour Triangle is presented as the first skyscraper in the City of Paris since the 70's what is absolutely wrong.

^ The Anglo media must simply focus on what gives rise to a buzz locally.

The most stupid thing IMO is that too many from the French nationwide media (most of them being Paris-based) act like they're almost shocked by large privately funded projects such as that of Hermitage (€2.8 billion), while virtually no taxpayer/government money is involved in that kind of projects.
Meanwhile, they say nothing much about the massive waste of public money in this country. :koko::shrug: Go figure. There's something sure anyway, I'm getting badly fed up with that anti-business French mindset.


The cost of this project was first estimated at €700 million. It would eventually cost €2.4 billion. Hilarious.

I forgot to mention, though, that cost definitely includes the maintenance of the building for the 20 or so years to come. At least I hope so. lol
