Seat of the Universal House of Justice
___________________
The building on the Arc of Mount Carmel which houses the council chamber and offices of the Universal House of Justice. The Universal House of Justice wrote that the Seat 'will not only serve the practical needs of a steadily consolidating administrative centre but will, for centuries to come, stand as a visible expression of the majesty of the divinely ordained institutions of the Administrative Order of Bahá'u'lláh.'10
The building, designed by architect Ḥusayn Amanat, was begun in 1972 and completed in 1982. Its design is classical with a marble exterior and a colonnade of fifty-eight pillars. The interior is 'simple, open, and adaptable to the evolving functions of a long future in service to the Faith.'11
[BD 204]
