It's ten years to the day since the Senedd officially opened its doors.

It has won many awards including the Chicago Athenaeum International Award (2007), RIBA National Award (2006) and made the shortlist for the RIBA Stirling Prize Building of the Year (2006).

It is quite an amazing building and my favourite part is the public gallery. The gallery gives you a real feel for what is happening in the chamber and with that sense of excitement.

I remember going to speak to a group of schoolchildren who were visiting there, and they said it felt like they were on the Battlestar Galactica!
