THE CAPITAL COMPLEX

The Capital Complex, locally known as the Sangshad Bhaban is the parliament of Bangladesh. It was designed by Louis I Kahn. Since childhood, I have admired this building for the feeling of vastness of space that it gives. Its geometrical shapes inside, allow natural light to come in from different angles and its natural concrete finish allows it to blend with the surrounding. This building has been my inspiration to study architecture, not only because I find it aesthetically beautiful but also because it is very practical, functional and successfully used for its purpose.
