"Romaldo emphasized that Griffin came from a commitment to humanity and strong perceptions of relationships of his plan and buildings to the people and the nation. the architects concluded that the Parliament building should not be triumphal or imposing like a monumental dome."

From the beginning of Canberra design to New Parliament House, their fundamental intention was strongly related to finding a unique identity that belongs to Australian context. An identity that represents harmony, peace, friendly, very much like a mirror that reflects the natural attribute of Australia, it's calmness, pureness, and a sense of belonging. On a remote location in a vast continent, could be expressed as a gentle giant sleeping soundly in existence.
