dc.description.abstract | The administration of justice, with particular reference to criminology, is a condensed but concise term that stands for all the activities that operate in bringing to law a person who committed a crime. It refers to the rule of law that governs the detection, investigation, apprehension, interviewing, trial and punishment of persons involved in crime. It is this process and structure that allows conflicts between parties to be settled by a body dedicated to that purpose. Within the field of architecture, the administration of justice nowadays tends to be tackled as a variety of physical structures, some divisions employing contemporary designs while others clearly lacking adequate architectural form. Typical judicial facilities are habitually designed, as in the past, to instigate a sense of intimidation, security and eventual punishment. On the other hand, Austrian architect Josef Hohensinn proudly displays his work in this judicial field with a design philosophy like no other. His architectural attempts provide a much more liberal approach towards such a sensitive field of design, offering contemporary innovation, appealing aesthetics and secure but humane environments. This study delves into the theories and philosophies of Mr.Hohensinn with regard to his approach within the judicial sector. It also Investigates his work through a series at site visits, interviews, and questionnaires. In doing so, this dissertation puts forth several compelling factors that should be considered within this architectural typology, while also pointing out recommendations that will aid the future of justice administration. | en_GB |
