Edinburgh 6. Scottish Parliament Interior

From the outset, the building and its construction were controversial, scheduled to open in 2001,it did so in 2004, with an estimated final cost of £414 million, many times higher than initial estimates of between £10m and £40m. Enric Miralles, the Spanish architect who designed the building, died before its completion.The building aimed to achieve a poetic union between the Scottish landscape, its people, its culture, and the city of Edinburgh. The Parliament Building won numerous awards including the 2005 Stirling Prize. Here some interior shots - Barry, its exterior with its abundance of concrete will follow.
