Taken in the same week that this building was shortlisted both for the UK architecture award, the Stirling Prize, and for Channel 4's 'Demolition' programme. Apparantly Channel 4 received 'hundreds' of votes from the public (hardly decisive), yet I question what proportion of these voters have actually bothered to see it for themselves (rather than simply believe everything they've read in the Evening News/Scotsman newspapers).

dentro del vestíbulo público del parlamento de escocia. Miralles imaginó un lugar oscuro, como subterraneo con el techo recubierto de cruces celtas, una especie de antiguo vestigio telúrico. diversos cortes en forma de hoja atraviesan el forjado y dejan pasar la luz.

These windows are above the Garden Lobby - main thorough-fare of the Scottish Parliament - fusing the new building with the old (Queensberry House)
