On 1 July 2025, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Human Rights Building, the ECHR hosted an exhibition opening, which was attended by many important figures, including Ivan Harbour, Senior Design Director at RSHP and member of the building’s original team of architects. He noted that “thirty years on, the European Court of Human Rights remains not only an architectural masterpiece, but also a powerful symbol of justice, transparency and unity. Designing this building was a privilege, an opportunity to give a material form to democratic values and to create a space that enhances the dignity of those it serves. Its sustainability is a testament to the resilience of the ideals it embodies”.
