Senedd The National Assembly building designed by Richard Rogers. £18.99 This is the story of an astonishing transformation as Wales entered the twentyfirst century embracing a new democratic direction.

The Senedd, designed by architect Richard Rogers, rose as the country’s distinctive ultra-modern forum for democracy, the expression of the people’s voices and diversity.

From this plinth and promontory Wales looks the world in the eye. Given its embodiment of two concepts, a visionary 10

architectural flight and an all too human arena of government, the Senedd was inevitably forged in passion and furious argument. In this book, Trevor Fishlock takes the reader on a journey from the first idea for a National Assembly for Wales, through to the design, building and outcome. With stunning new photographs of the Senedd building by Andrew Molyneux, this book shows how the Senedd became a provocative and inspirational reality.
