It was to be built on Capital Hill. A competition started up to see who could come up with the best design. Architects from 29 different countries started designing what it would look and they had to choose out of 329 entries. The winner of the competition was Romaldo Giurgola. His design meant that they had to bury most of the building under Capital Hill and then having an enormous spire which held the Australian Flag. There are some copies of patterns on the New Parliament House that there was on the Old Parliament House. There is a slight resemblance even though there is a massive difference in size. Inside the New Parliament house, it is split into 4 main zones. There is the House of Representatives chamber, the Senate chamber, a central zone and the executive government wing. The House of Representatives is also known as the people’s house. The house has 150 members and it is where government is formed. The Senate chamber has 76 senators, twelve from each state and two from each of the mainland territories. The central zone has public spaces and ceremonial
