The Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban is the Parliament house of Bangladesh, located at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in Dhaka. Initially designed for the Parliament of Pakistan by architect Louis Kahn, the complex is one of the largest legislative complexes in the world, covering 840,000 m2 (210 acres). Twelve parliaments have used the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban as the Parliament building: Louis Kahn designed the entire Jatiya Sangsad complex, which includes lawns, lake and residences for the Members of the Parliament (MPs). The architect's key design philosophy was to represent Bengali culture and heritage, while at the same time optimizing the use of space. The exterior of the building is striking in its simplicity, with huge walls deeply recessed by porticoes and large openings of regular geometric shapes. The main building, which is at the center of the complex, is divided into three parts – the Main Plaza, South Plaza and Presidential Plaza. An artificial lake surrounds three sides of the main building of Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban, extending to the Members of Parliament hostel complex. The use of water features is intended to reflect the riverine landscape of Bangladesh and contributes to the site’s overall design. More information...
