'I Wanted To Grab The Sun And Bring It Inside The Court.'
Architect Dominique Perrault's new European Court of Justice building in Luxembourg features a pair of "pencil-thin gold towers" that "light up like a pair of giant candles" in the late afternoon sun, a light-filled central plaza, and a central judges' chamber surrounded by a gold-colored "woven steel veil, which floats over the court like an improbably glamorous mosquito net over the bed of a fairytale princess."
