What are the purposes of the wooden poles placed over some of the Scottish Parliament buildings’ windows?
The lattice work on a number of the windows is an architectural feature and is not representative of anything specific or symbolic. Although they are often referred to as bamboo, the poles were manufactured from solid oak and the design appears in many parts of the cladding of the building, e.g. on some of the windows on the MSP building; on windows at the public entrance; in concrete form on some of the walls around the perimeter of the complex, and of course in horizontal form on the pergola over the public entrance.
