In 1959 the call went out for designs to rebuilt West Berlin’s Kaiser-Wilhelm Church, the winning design was a hideous master piece of concrete steel and glass.
In 2009 Planda (a bunch of cashed up european designers) have the drawn up plans for a crucifix bearing building that might just beat the Kaiser-Wilhelm for ugliness.
The Palais de Justice is based on the cross graphic on the cover of French disco-rock band Justice’s debut album † and will feature a bar, movie theatre, studio, salon, pool and of course a cave.
