Parliament
XML 2016 ISBN 9789090297644 Acqn 26605
Pb 13x18cm 448pp 192ills 26
Amsterdam-based office XML explores the complex relationship between space and politics by
documenting and comparing the plenary halls of the parliaments of all 193 United Nations
member states. Whether arranged in a semicircle or horseshoe, as opposing benches or
classroom style, the seats in these halls not only offer clues to a nations history, but also the
atmosphere in which its laws are shaped. Comparing contexts between divergent geographical
locations and governments, both democratic and authoritarian, the lexicon addresses these
spaces as more than symbolic representations of national values, portraying them as actors in
the shaping of our shared future.
