Free and open to all, the conference runs over听two sets of two (short) days;听the first session is taking place on 12-13 November 2020, and the second on 18-19 February, 2021.

    鈥淧arliament buildings and their spatial structures are the symbols and instruments of political life. They shape and reflect political practices,听processes and culture, both within听and without.听听

    We are proud to bring you听a brilliant line up of architects听and parliamentarians,听art historians, architecture scholars, historians, geographers, anthropologists and political scientists.听They will share their unique insights into specific parliament buildings across Europe, to jointly explore:

    • How do buildings and space听structure the work done in parliaments, how do they shape political decision making and informal communication?
    • How can they be听used to embody imaginations of democracy and the body politic?
    • What can they听tell us about the agency of, say,听women or parliamentary staff in parliament?听
    • How is their role听changing in times of constant broadcasting, social media and a global pandemic?听
