National Assembly for Wales - The Senedd

1
    The Senedd is the main public building of the National Assembly for Wales and is located in Cardiff Bay. It was designed by Lord Richard Rogers and was opened by The Queen on St David's Day in 2006.

     The Senedd houses the debating chamber and committee rooms for the National Assembly for Wales. It has been designed to be a very open building, with large public areas, including a 120-seat viewing gallery that looks down into the main debating chamber.

     The unique and rather unusual design of the building is centred around a large funnel that rises up from the circular debating chamber (at its base) and into the main roof. The funnel allows natural light to be directed into the debating chamber and also allows hot air to be drawn out of the building
