Brazil's House of Parliament is made of two hemi-spheres
The Plenaria of the Senate and the Federal Chamber
The hemi-spheres looking down is the Senate, and the other one is the
Chamber. According to Niemayer, the Senate is by nature more conservative,
whereas the Chamber is more opened to the popular clamor; so, the Senate
was built more hermetic, and the Chamber more opened. Also, because the
Senate and the Chamber have complementary functions (read further below),
they were also shaped in a complementary way (each House could be stacked
on top of the other). The two buildings in between the hemi-spheres are called
Annex I and this is where part of the administrative staff of the Congress is
located. These are the two tallest buildings in the Federal District. Two catwalks
connect the buildings, on the 16th and 17th floors. These crystal decoration
gifts and collectibles are 3 x 2.5 x 2 inches.
