How can we rethink our political institutions by investigating the buildings in which they are accommodated? ‘Parliament Buildings’ is a two-part conference convened by Sophia Psarra, Professor of Architecture and Spatial Design at The Bartlett, with the UCL European Institute. It is funded by UCL Grand Challenges of Cultural Understanding.
