Parliamentary Analysis - A link to Canberra

In an effort to give some pre-established national identity to the terminals in particular,  I have done a brief analysis on the design of Parliament House.  While the terminals and mobile architecture won't be used primarily to serve parliament, they will be designed with parliement in mind.  This comes back to the idea of why we are designing this in the first place.  This reason is that parliament currently doesn't effectively represent the voice of all of Australia and that regional Australia, our nation's economic and iconic backbone, requires additional services that urban centres are readily provided.  Parliament house is still iconic and in most part effective, but this system is designed to be an addition to parliament, not a stand alone icon.  As such, i wanted to further understand why the design of our Parliament building is the way it is.  This might help to form the basis of some simple forms/spatial arrangements and relationships to inform my own design.
