" Building
a courthouse at Porte de Clichy, in the North of Paris bordering Saint-Denis or
what is know as the Paris suburbs, is a brillant idea. We must enrich the
outskirts with great public buildings. One of our first needs is justice. But a
court doesn’t have to be intimidating of frightening. The public lobby is a space where people can breathe. A court is always a
tensed place for people being judged and for those who judge. "
