I would also like to congratulate the city of Madrid for a bold move. he civil courts are being designed by a host of the most innovative architects. It shows the way to other cities. Most cities would have chosen ordinary architecture and a more conventional design.

I think it’s an interesting design. It remains to be seen how it will work when finished. Hadid is a star architect that always gives us new, distinctive designs. sometimes it works other times not so much. Banal and boring is not.

The rendering looks quite good as the form is not onl;y eye-catching but also compliments the surrounding spherical buildings. Unfortunately I cannot find any cluster of spherical buildings while looking at Madrid through Google Earth. I can never decide if architects such as Gehry and Hadid choose not to integrate form with the surrounding environment or are lacking in the creativity required to combine function and harmony with artistic flare. Maybe Hadid has added the spheres to convince herself that her design is any good, and to think that this is a court. At least Gehry generally uses his most flamboyant designs for places of entertainment. I think Zaha Hadid is without doubt the most over-rated of architects in the world and the use of photovoltaics and complex methods of ventilation doesn\’t make me think that this building is any less ridiculous.

If I lived in Madrid I would be raising hell to get this preposterous affront to humanity thrown in the garbage bin where it belongs.

It\’s too bad starchitects (and their enablers) can\’t get over their own egos for one moment to think about what people actually desire in structures.

[...] Bold, brave, often controversial – her ambitious experiments in form always seem to stir discourse and debate. Hadid’s design for the new civil courts building in Madrid is no exception. Planned as part of the new Campus de la Justicia at Valdebebas in Madrid, the Civil Court is expected to become a focal point in the city.http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/03/17/civil-court-for-madrid-from-zaha-hadid/ [...]
