As I mentioned, last week - at this time, we went on class trip to the European Court of Human Rights. I was amongst the last to leave the building when we called it a day (something to do with my footwear). I turned around and took a picture of the building, and remarked that somehow the building structure didnt strike me as being particularly legal or judiciary and that I would have passed it off as an art gallery or a museum or even a library ala the Pompidou centre. I was pleasantly surprised to later discover that the architects of the court and the latter structure were the same. This reminds me of the time when I was 12 (13?) when I was pleased with myself for surprisingly recognising Freddie Mercury's voice in random songs that I wasn't familar with.
