The Supreme Court, Jerusalem


The current building of the court was inaugurated in 1992 and is the result of an architectural plan by the architects siblings Ada Karmi-Melamed and Ram Karmi, which was awarded out of 180 plans submitted in the architectural tender.  The building is characterized by great symbolism on almost every plane, step and wall in the building and one of the basic elements that repeats itself a lot is the straight lines that describe the truth and the law and the circles that describe justice.  The truth must be known, revealed, investigated and justice must be striven for, must be done, must be shown.


In the photo: two parallel corridors in one of the wings of the building.  One corridor is rounded and the other in straight lines.


It is recommended to visit and to take a guided tour.  You can use the link: https://supreme.court.gov.il/Pages/Tours.aspx
