The Supreme Court will reconsider its plans to build a huge courthouse close to the Grand Palace, and a representative of the Supreme Court president agreed to get miniature models of the new structure made to show the Senate.
It is the judiciary’s first gesture of compromise since it began to demolish the old structure early this year to pursue its THB2.5 billion project.
Jitipot Viriyaroj, who chairs the Senate committee, said the new structure, with a height of more than 30 metres, could ruin the beauty of the country’s cultural landmarks and needs to be changed.
Pongkwan Lassus, of the Association for Siamese Architects, doubted if the miniature models would provide an answer, reported the Bangkok Post.
