Human Rights Building
The 20th anniversary of the Human Rights Building
The Court is based in Strasbourg, in the Human Rights Building.
Designed by the British architect Lord Richard Rogers (2007 Pritzker Prize Laureate), this highly symbolic and emblematic building is part of the French cultural heritage and was awarded the “Architecture contemporaine remarquable” label in 2015.
To mark the 20th anniversary of the Human Rights Building, the Court staged an exhibition in September 2015, inaugurated by President Spielmann in the presence, among others, of Gabriella Battaini-Dragoni, Deputy Secretary General of the Council of Europe, and Ivan Harbour, who worked on the Building’s design and is now a partner in the architectural firm Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners.
