National Parliament of Bangladesh

Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban or National Parliament House is the house of the Parliament of Bangladesh,located at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in Dhaka.

Designed by architect Louis Kahn,the complex is the largest legislative complexes in the world, comprising 200 acres (800,000 m²).

Louis Kahn designed the entire Jatiya Sangsad complex,which includes lawns,lake and residences for the Members of the Parliament.

The architect’s key design philosophy was to represent Bangladeshi 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.

This skillful use of water to portray the riverine beauty of Bangladesh adds to the aesthetic value of the site.
