Experts' Choice Award High Court of Australia
What the experts agree on
This striking glass-and-concrete building is Australia's ultimate court, housed in a gleaming 1980s structure that doubles as an art gallery amid Canberra's cultural precinct.
“The grandiose High Court was dubbed 'Gar's Mahal' when it opened in 1980, a reference to Sir Garfield Barwick, chief justice during the building's construction.”
