It may be the most disputed building in Edinburgh but if you visit the Scottish Parliament you will enter an functioning artwork. You can't explore alone but it is worth taking part in a guided tour because they give you ideas to fuel your own interpretation on how art and politics can be so entwined and what the architect, Enric Miralles, wanted to express.
Do parts of the building represent a fish, a ship or leaves? Why did Miralles create such strange looking windows? Nobody can give you the correct answer and that's the reason which makes the building design so interesting.
Go there and solve the puzzle for yourself!
