The Senedd

The Senedd building :
   The Senedd which is located in Cardiff Bay was opened in 2006 .It is a sustainable building that is build of traditional Welsh material such as Welsh oak and other sustainable material .Furthermore, it has a big room which is called Siamber and committee rooms.Siamber is a large and circular room on the grounds that every person could be able to see the meeting . Moreover , the desks in this well-designed  room are made of Welsh oak. People can visit this important building and they can take photos. In fact ,it is a public building.In the upper level people can sit  in a nice and peaceful place and drink a cup of coffee.In my attitude, the design of this building is very interesting.
