Scottish Parliament

Scottish Parliament
The Scottish Parliament Building is the home of the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood, within the UNESCO World Heritage Site in central Edinburgh. Construction of the building commenced in June 1999 and the Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) held their first debate in the new building on 7 September 2004. The formal opening by Queen Elizabeth II took place on 9 October 2004. Enric Miralles, the Spanish architect who designed the building, died before its completion. Quoted from Wikipedia

The architecture benefits from the reflective water surface, Joe. Do you think you'll grow to like it eventually? I know that concrete and wood don't weather well. ;-))

The windows are made from stainless steel and framed in oak, with oak lattices, Amelia. I don't think it will grow on me. I prefer older architecture. Thanks for your very kind comment. All the best, Joe

Sad that the architect died before its completion Joe. I also prefer older architecture, but there is something good about a new Parliamentary building. Somehow less stuffy! A well framed shot and I like the reflections. Cheers, Rosa.

Yes, Rosa, I remember when Enric Miralles died. His widow, Benedetta Tagliabue, has a simliar architectural style. Thanks for your very kind comment. All the best, Joe
