Palais de Justice de Bordeaux

According to Wikipedia:

The extension of the courthouse was completed in 1998 by the architectural firm of Richard Rogers at the same time as the Papon trial. Its architecture symbolizes the open court, wine tanks or bottles of wine and cones in keeping with the castle of Ha and the nearby St. Andrew's Cathedral.

Unfortunately, in my opinion the building looks quite ugly – it reminds me of gas chambers… although, taking account for the French heritage, these are more likely chambers housing the guillotines.
