The Georgian Parliament Building in Kutaisi is not just an architectural structure, but also a symbol of great changes in the history of Georgia. Behind its glass walls and steel dome, a page of the country's modern political evolution was unfolding.
The construction project was implemented in the period from 2011 to 2012, turning Kutaisi into the second most important city in Georgia and the place of temporary residence of the Parliament. The building, commissioned by CMD Inginieros, is a striking example of architectural splendor and has become a landmark venue for events that shaped the political picture of the country.
The building impresses with its appearance: a huge oval dome made of glass and steel measuring 100x150 meters stands as a symbol of openness and transparency of state institutions. It is exalted not only as an element of the urban landscape, but also as a sign of modernity and the desire for democracy.
This ambitious project began with the destruction of the memorial to the Soviet soldiers of the Great Patriotic War, which became an inevitable stage in the creation of a new symbol. Following the destruction of the monument, the construction of the Parliament began, presented as a bright future for Georgia, and its placement in Kutaisi was presented as a way to rally and support the development of the region.
However, despite the ambitious plans, the Parliament building in Kutaisi has become an object of criticism. There were discussions about its effectiveness, and eventually, after the change of political power, it was decided to return all parliamentary activities to Tbilisi. The Parliament of Georgia in Kutaisi became a temporary home, and then, with the amendment of the constitution in 2017, all activities of the parliament returned to the capital.
This building, which has a unique history, now comes into the possession of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia. Thus, it not only serves as a symbol of political transformations, but also continues to write its history in a new context.
