<strong>The</strong> <strong>Court</strong> <strong>of</strong> Justice is one <strong>of</strong> two iconic projects within the new<br />
urban development around the main rail station. <strong>The</strong> logistics<br />
and siting <strong>of</strong> a courthouse with multiple security barriers in a<br />
massing composed <strong>of</strong> three interconnected volumes. References<br />
include the old industrial steel structures that formerly occupied<br />
and defined the site, their organic Belgian Art Nouveau forms<br />
constituting part <strong>of</strong> the cultural heritage <strong>of</strong> Hasselt.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are also echoes <strong>of</strong> a tree, which, in addition to being in<br />
the Hasselt town emblem, as well as also harks back to the<br />
historic pre-medieval European tradition <strong>of</strong> holding a special<br />
‘place <strong>of</strong> speaking justice’ underneath a large tree in the centre<br />
<strong>of</strong> a dwelling.<br />
