Parliament is the space where politics literally takes shape. Here, collective decisions take form in a specific setting where relationships between political actors are organized through architecture. The architecture of spaces of political congregation is not only an expression of a political culture, it also shapes this culture.

While the world outside the walls of these parliaments changed beyond recognition, parliaments are responding to these changes from a 19th century setting.
Architecture sets the stage for our lives; it creates the world we inhabit and shapes how we relate to one another. In a time in which democracy is under increasing pressure in different parts of the world, it is time to rethink the architecture of assembly. Once built, parliaments are locked in time. But political systems can and should adapt to what is changing in the world. Since architecture gives shape to ideas, it can be a powerful tool to rethink our models for collective decision-making. It can be one way to reshape our deliberative bodies and experiment with new models that are more attuned to contemporary life and to the challenges that we are facing today.

English: Comparison between Republic of China (1953-2002 in Taiwan) and People's Republic of China administrative divisions.
- Grey lines are political boundaries drawn by the PRC. The formal names of these political entities are in black text.
- Red lines are political boundaries drawn by the ROC between 1953[1] and 2002[2]. The formal names of these political entities are in red text.
- Areas between red and grey lines (international boundaries) represent the territories claimed by the ROC before 2002 but not the PRC.
Adapted from File:ROC PRC comparison eng.jpg. The original ROC map included more cities, but the adaptation removed non-central municipalities to clean up the image. Therefore, this image contains:
Republic of China
- 35 provinces
- 12 Mainland municipalities + 6 Taiwanese municipalities
- 2 areas (Mongolia and Tibet)
- 1 special administrative region (Hainan)
People's Republic of China
- 23 provinces
- 4 municipalities
- 5 autonomous regions
- 2 special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau)
