The Senedd was designed to be a bridge into the future, emerging from a long historical and political evolution. Designed by architect Richard Rogers, the building rose as the country's distinctive ultra-modern forum, the expression of the people's voices and diversity. This illustrated book by Trevor Fishlock, with photographs by Andrew Molyneux, explores the background to the Assembly's site in Cardiff Bay, and the government in Wales. The photographs illustrate the beauty of the building's architecture: its construction, technology and symbolism. The book is ideal for those with an interest in politics and architecture.
