I'd like to see a throwback to brutalism, but done in a contemporary style. Either that, or lots of stone cladding. Pink granite, white marble, yellow limestone, all of the above. Have there been any large buildings clad in stone in the last few years? Time for it to return.
I can see that working for a courthouse but I’d rather they use warm materials that blend it into the natural background established by Plant Architect’s Nathan Phillips Square redesign.
Extensive use of wood, bronze windows and a terraced design with trees would be my choice.
