The appearance of Parliament is raised sometimes, but not always as a compliment to its interior or exterior. The issue seems to be its “old fashioned” look, as if wood and benches don’t appeal.
If you look around, many Parliaments are the same. It’s a standard feel that makes it different, or separate, to the many other buildings which try too hard to stand out, and innovate a definition of itself.
The lack of design behind a “plain is Jane” structure in Westminster represents our way of politics. It doesn’t suit a passing type or a fad in design tech, and it’s a functional space due to it.
