Brasilia is a new city with a history of more than 30 years, and there are no ancient buildings. The famous modern buildings are mainly concentrated in the core of the city-square of the three powers. Parliament building is two parallel 28-story rectangular buildings, which is the tallest building in the city. According to law, no building can exceed its height. The two buildings are connected by a corridor, forming an "H" shape, which is the first letter of "person" in Portuguese, indicating that everything is for people. The building on the right is the House of Representatives building, and the side of the building is a "big bowl" facing the sky, which means "listening to public opinion"; On the left is the Senate building, and there is also a "big bowl" on the side, but it is upside down, symbolizing "concentrating public opinion to form a resolution".

Below the "bowl" are the conference halls of the two houses, as well as ancillary buildings such as shops, restaurants and garages. The conference halls of the two houses have 1200 seats, and they all have special libraries with hundreds of thousands of books. Brazilians proudly say that this is "the largest parliament building in the world". Citizens are free to visit the building or visit public galleries. If you have opinions, you can entrust members to speak on your behalf.

The presidential palace is in Dawn Palace. This is a building with a hanging balcony. The pillars of the veranda violate the rules of circle and square. Some are water chestnuts with long top and short bottom, and some are like geese about to spread their wings and fly. The four corners of the diamond are like Indian shields, symbolizing that the earliest owner of Brazil was an Indian.

The judicial palace has its own characteristics. Supported by 14 large white geometric columns, there is a flat ceiling, a trial hall and an office building. In front of the door stands a blindfolded statue of justice, which means "the law denies people" and everyone is equal before the law.

The government buildings on the building square are also different. The Ita Maradi Palace of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is built on a large pool, with steel frame and glass structure, which highlights the characteristics of the Crystal Palace. The lotus-shaped stone carving with five stone heads in the pool, like the five-ring flag of the Olympic Games, symbolizes the unity of five continents and world peace.
