The Civil Justice Centre was the first major court complex built in Britain since George Edmund Street's Royal Courts of Justice in London completed in 1882. Its distinctive architecture has been nicknamed the "filing cabinet" because of its cantilever floors at the end of the building. The design takes inspiration from Expressionist architecture but also the artistic Futurist movement of the 1920s which promotes dynamic lines and a sense of fluid movement. The extension to the right of this picture is still under development.
