Introduction
What characterises this modern edifice of the "Palacio Legislativo" is its plenary hall on stilts, which appears to float like a ship above the audience at public events. The funnel-shaped and slightly curved building is connected to an administration wing, which is also built on stilts. This architectural ensemble seems to be as fragile as the country’s democracy, which was destabilised following the 2009 coup d’état.
