Home›Government and Civic Buildings›Building Family›Legislative, Parliament and International Body Buildings›All Legislative, Parliament and International Body BuildingsBrowse ByAll Legislative, Parliament and International Body BuildingsBuildings this atlas records under Government and Civic Buildings that house a legislature, parliament, congress, state capitol or comparable governing assembly, including international governmental bodies such as the Palace of Nations (the League of Nations, now the United Nations Office at Geneva) and Villa Valmer (the UN Industrial Development Organization), and the ancient Greek ekklesiasterion, the popular assembly's own meeting place: the largest of this subcategory's seven groups. Belongs here: any building this subcategory records as housing a national, state, provincial or international legislative or governing assembly body. Does not belong here: a building that houses only an executive office or head of state without a legislative assembly, gathered under this subcategory's own Executive, Head-of-State and Diplomatic Buildings group instead.FactsAll Legislative, Parliament and International Body BuildingsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested930 CE 1Origin RegionWell-attestedIceland 1All Legislative, Parliament and International Body BuildingsFilter Results52 entriesBuilding TypeAllCommercial Property (1)House (3)Mansion (1)Museum (2)Palace (5)Parliament Building (38)Villa (1)PlaceAllArgentina (1)Australia (1)Australia (2)Austria (1)Bangladesh (2)Brazil (2)Canada (2)China (1)Cuba (1)Finland (2)France (3)Germany (2)Hungary (1)India (1)Ireland (1)Italy (1)Japan (1)Latvia (1)Lithuania (1)New Zealand (1)Norway (1)Poland (1)Portugal (1)Romania (1)South Africa (1)Spain (1)Sweden (2)Switzerland (2)Turkey (1)Ukraine (1)United Kingdom (5)United States (5)StyleAllArchitectural Eclecticism (1)Art Deco (2)Art Nouveau (1)Baroque Architecture (2)Beaux-Arts Architecture (2)Brutalism (2)Cape Dutch Architecture (1)Eclecticism in art (1)Georgian Architecture (1)Gothic Revival (3)Greek Revival Architecture (1)High-Tech Architecture (1)Modernist Architecture (4)Neoclassical Architecture (12)Nordic Classicism (1)Palladian Architecture (2)Postmodern Architecture (4)Renaissance Architecture (1)Renaissance Revival architecture (3)Romanesque Architecture (1)Spanish Colonial Architecture (1)Stalinist Architecture (1)Stripped Classicism (4)Completed YearAll1620 (1)1682 (1)1697 (1)1722 (1)1728 (1)1730 (1)1748 (1)1760 (1)1793 (1)1800 (1)1843 (1)1850 (1)1864 (1)1865 (1)1866 (1)1867 (1)1870 (1)1873 (1)1882 (1)1883 (1)1886 (1)1888 (1)1894 (1)1897 (1)1902 (1)1904 (1)1905 (2)1915 (1)1916 (1)1927 (2)1928 (1)1929 (1)1931 (1)1932 (1)1936 (2)1938 (2)1959 (1)1960 (3)1980 (1)1982 (2)1985 (1)1988 (2)1997 (1)2000 (1)2004 (1)2006 (1)2023 (1)2027 (1)Standing StatusAllDemolished (1)Reconstructed (1)Standing (49)ArchitectAllNorman Foster (1)Oscar Niemeyer (2)GroupAllLegislative, Parliament and International Body Buildings (52)MaterialAllBrick (6)Bronze (1)Cast Iron (1)Concrete (1)Copper (2)Glass (2)Granite (8)Limestone (1)Marble (6)Masonry (2)Sandstone (4)Steel (3)Stone (3)Timber (4)Travertine (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 2Verkhovna Rada BuildingGovernment and Civic BuildingsVilla ValmerGovernment and Civic Buildings← Previous12Sources1.
