Supremo Tribunal Federal building, Modernist courthouse in Praça dos Três Poderes, Brasília, Brazil
The Supreme Court Palace features white marble colonnades supporting a roof that shades extensive glass surfaces across three principal floors.
The Supreme Federal Court Palace was designed by Oscar Niemeyer and completed in 1960 as part of the planned construction of Brazil's new capital.
The statue 'A Justiça' by sculptor Alfredo Ceschiatti stands at the entrance, representing the principles of law and order in Brazilian society.
The building contains multiple courtrooms and administrative sections where the highest court of Brazil interprets constitutional matters and handles major legal cases.
The structure's minimalist foundation creates an optical effect where the building appears to float above the ground through careful engineering by Joaquim Cardozo.
