A parliament building is the building in which the legislature of a country or a sub-national entity meets. The cited article says that, far more than functional administrative centers, these structures are often iconic architectural landmarks designed to symbolize the power, history and democratic ideals of the state, and that the design of a parliament building, from its overarching style to the specific layout of its debating chamber, is a non-verbal medium that actively participates in politics by reflecting and shaping the political culture of a nation. It names the wider group of government buildings in the atlas. Buildings recorded in the atlas as government and parliament buildings are grouped under this concept.
