Architecture 101: Jatiyo Sangsad Bhaban by Louis I Kahn
Better known as the National Assembly building of Bangladesh, or just simply Dhaka. Designed by Louis I Kahn in 1961, and probably his most famous work.
This is without a doubt in my mind, one of the most incredible structures ever built (and might be my favorite). With its massive scale and basic geometry it almost appears to be an ancient wonder of the world, rather than a building for parliament. Actually ‘The Globe And Mail’ named it 1 of 7 Architectural Wonders of the world.
