One of the oldest known photographs of the Houses Of Parliament in London, photographed around 1865, I have tried to enhance the photo, making it sharper without distorting it.

Parliament

Did you know? A level called Parliament was cut from MediEvil 2. The level was set to feature the iconic Houses of Parliament, including Westminster Bridge and Big Ben. A rough version of the level map appears in the MediEvil II 0.19 build.

The Burning of the Houses of Parliament

J. M. W. Turner

The staggeringly ambitious plan for 5 November 1605 was to blow up the Houses of Parliament during its next opening ceremony, killing not only the king but England's lords, bishops, and judges.

Why is modern architecture so ugly?

Is it a desire to be different? A hatred of classical styles? A want to separate your designs from previous eras? Or is it that we've become so detached from beauty we can't recognise it anymore?

If the Romans, Tudors, Victorians, and so on, could make such beautiful, awesome buildings centuries ago, why do we have to settle for concrete and stainless steel blocks today?

The startling difference between the Palace of Westminster and the Scottish parliament building is a perfect example of everything wrong with modern architecture. Built 250 years ago, Westminster is in many ways almost timeless in its design, and possesses the kind of majesty such a building should. The Scottish parliament, by comparison, is a blunt concrete box. What will it look like in a couple of centuries, if it even lasts that long? I can't see how this is supposed to be progress.

If architecture is a reflection of the era and society it was built in, then what does this say about our own?
