BEAUTIFUL PALACE OF JUSTICE IN PUTRAJAYA!

THE PALACE OF JUSTICE (MALAY: ISTANA KEHAKIMAN, JAWI: ايستان کحاکيمن) HOUSES THE MALAYSIAN COURT OF APPEAL AND FEDERAL COURT, WHICH MOVED TO PUTRAJAYA FROM THE SULTAN ABDUL SAMAD BUILDING IN KUALA LUMPUR IN 2003. DUE TO THE NEED FOR A PROPER OFFICE OF THE HEAD OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IN MALAYSIA, A LOCATION WITHIN THE PRECINCT 3 OF PUTRAJAYA WAS IDENTIFIED FOR THIS PURPOSE. AQIDEA ARCHITECT WAS COMMISSIONED TO DESIGN THE BUILDING AFTER FINISHING THE NEARBY PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE. THE BUILDING HOUSES TWO FEDERAL COURTS, SIX COURTS OF APPEAL, THE CHIEF REGISTRAR'S OFFICE, TWO REGISTRIES FOR THE FEDERAL COURT, THE COURT OF APPEAL (AS REQUIRED UNDER ARTICLES 121(1B) AND 121(2)), A CONFERENCE HALL, A LIBRARY, AND A MUSEUM. THE COMPLEX HAS AN INTRICATE NETWORK OF PASSAGES WHICH SEGREGATE THE JUDGES, WITNESSES, PUBLIC, AND THE ACCUSED LEADING TO THE COURTS FROM THE CAR PARK OR AREA OF ARRIVAL. THE DESIGN IS ABOUT BRINGING ABOUT "ORDER" AND ORDER IS THE THEME OF THE DAY AS THE LAYOUTS ARE FASHIONED IN AN ORDERLY MANNER. AR AHMAD ROZI ABD WAHAB, THE PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT WAS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGN LAYOUT AND COMING OUT WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT AND IDEAS THE PALACE OF JUSTICE'S DESIGN INCORPORATES INFLUENCES OF CLASSICAL ISLAMIC CULTURE LIKE TAJ MAHAL IN INDIA, MOORISH CULTURE, LIKE THE SULTAN ABDUL SAMAD BUILDING IN KUALA LUMPUR AND WESTERN CLASSICAL INFLUENCE, LIKE PALLADIAN. THE CLASSICAL DESIGN GIVES DEPTHS TO THE BUILDING SKIN AND CREATES INTERESTING ARTICULATED FACADE.
