The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace, is the meeting place of the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom—the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Construction started in 1840 and lasted for thirty years. It was designed by architect Charles Barry and his design for a building in the Perpendicular Gothic style. Barry was assisted by Augustus W. N. Pugin, a leading authority on Gothic architecture and style, who provided designs for the decoration and furnishings of the Palace. (Wikipedia) |
