[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The newly completed home for the National Assembly For Wales (Welsh Assembly) finally opened for business in February 2006, three years late and with a final completion price of nearly £67 million, including information technology, broadcasting equipment and furnishing costs - almost five times the original budget.
Designed by architect Lord Richard Rogers, the new building called the Senedd - parliament or senate in Welsh - has already won an important award for sustainable construction.Perhaps the most striking feature of the building is the undulating roof which is built of steel and finished in a delicate wooden red cedar soffit. The six roof modules were pre-assembled off-site and at night the roof is gently lit to create the impression of a 'floating' roof structure.This is part of the underneath of the roof.
