The paper is dealing with the projects for the Czechoslovak Parliament, designed over several decades starting in the early 20th century. The first projects date back to the time before the first World War and the task was not solved until the 1970s. The story of Parliament reflects the development of modern architecture and at the same time, it shows the transformations regarding the materialization of the czechoslovak identity – initially in the democratic First Republic and later in the Socialist system. Naturally, the eventually implemented project for Federal Assembly Building, completed in 1974, is also described and contextualized.
