Palace of Justice in Damascus: An Architectural Epic of Stone and the Scales

قصر العدل في دمشق: ملحمة الحجر والميزان

By Architect Imad Darouich

Ten chapters read the Palace of Justice in Damascus, designed by the Syrian architect Abd al-Razzaq Malas and built in 1947 and 1948: its façade joining modern form and local memory, its door, its corridor of waiting, the courtroom, the case files and the scales. It ends by asking whether people can stand upright before truth.
