1. Who designed the building ?
2. When was it opened and by whom ?The Senedd opened in 2006.The Senedd is not just a building for Members, it is your building. It is the main public building of the National Assembly, the main centre for democracy and devolution in Wales
3. What materials were used ?The upper part of the roof is an aluminium standing seem roof with the underside being a woven timber soffit. The roof is supported by structural steel columns. The frame is constructed mainly from steel, and the outer walls mainly from slate and glass. The plinth is made from reinforced concrete and slate. The Siambr desks and public gallery seating is made of Welsh oak.
4. What is particulary special about the building ?
This is what this building represents. It represents sustainability, it represents democracy but its more than that too it is the symbol of the new nation that Wales has become. I hope you enjoy your visit to this site and that you will realise its value for you. This is Welsh democracy in action this is devolution and it is yours.
