Welsh Assembly Building - Great Attractions (United Kingdom)
- 13 years ago
Take a tour of Welsh Assembly Building in United Kingdom – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Over the past two decades, Cardiff Bay has blossomed under urban regeneration.
The modernist architecture of the new National Assembly building is self proclaimed to reflect transparency.
As you enter the main reception area, focus is drawn immediately to the billowing cedar ceiling and funnel.
The funnel is both an innovative architectural and environmentally conscious feature that lowers the buildings electricity costs and provides advanced ventilation.
In the Oriel, you can chat with friends in the café, watch Assembly Members debating in the Siambr below, or enjoy the wrap around view of the bay.
If its Victorian neighbors signify the past, the National Assembly building certainly represents the future of Wales.
