Law Courts Building, Brutalist skyscraper in Sydney, Australia
The Law Courts Building rises 27 floors above ground, featuring exposed concrete surfaces and geometric patterns characteristic of brutalist architectural principles.
Richard Johnson designed this judicial complex, which opened its doors in 1976 as part of the modernization of Sydney's legal infrastructure.
The building's foyer hosts weekly Sunday concerts performed by local musicians, adding a musical dimension to this legal establishment.
Visitors can access the building during non-court hours and observe proceedings in courtrooms through scheduled public viewing sessions.
Aboriginal art installations throughout the structure create a connection between modern Australian law and traditional indigenous legal customs.
