When you look at the Scottish parliament building you could be forgiven for thinking that it is deconstructivist architecture, it seems broken and fragmented into around five different components rather than one entity. There is a complex layering which means viewing and understanding it could be quite a meal. The building is a dynamic and disjointed play with geometry, it appears to be complex but is in fact well thought out and relatively simple (everything has a reason).

This building is organic, Post-Gaudi if not Post-Modern. Decoration, theme and motif cover the building, in a nod towards Post-Modernism, it is all about poetry. You can read this building, therefore, based on the linguistic philosophy it is not Deconstructivist. It is however a nod towards the arts and crafts [91] , craftsmanship is high on the agenda here.

[92] The client brief “sent out strong messages as to the significance not only of the symbolism of the designs but also as to the high quality expected.” [93]

Miralles satisfied the brief, he gave a building that reflected the parliament’s status in democracy, which encouraged good working practise [94] and had an extremely high quality. Miralles’ design encouraged an informal working environment that seems to allow those working inside of it to work efficiently.

It seems it could only have been Miralles’ commitment to high quality that pulled him into the argument about cost. This high quality was requested as part of the brief. Most of the other disputes about the project were fed by a lack of consistency on the client’s part.
