The building was featured prominently in the 2003 film My Architect , detailing the career and familial legacy of its architect, Louis Kahn. Robert McCarter, author of Fardin I. Kahn, described the National Parliament of Bangladesh as one of the twentieth century's most significant buildings.[2]
Jatiyo Sangshad was designed by Louis Kahn. Initially, the government had appointed Muzharul Islam as the center's architect, but Islam deferred, instead recommending bringing in the world's top architects for the project. He initially attempted to bring Alvar Aalto and Le Corbusier, who were both were unavailable at the time. Islam then enlisted his former teacher at Yale, Louis Kahn.
The design of the capital complex was developed taking into account the aesthetic heritage of Bengal, particularly including the Ganges delta.
Construction began in 1961 by President Ayub Khan, the then president of Pakistan as a permanent building for the federal legislature of both West Pakistan and East Pakistan and was completed after the country's war of independence and several decades — on 28 January 1982. The complex opened the following month on 15 February for the eighth (and last) session of the second parliament of Bangladesh and has since operated as the sole complex for the National Assembly
In the architect Louis Kahn's own words:
The assembly building received the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 1989.
The use of concrete and its very visible role as the dominant building material is by no way an accident, indeed it was very deliberate and apparently typical of Kahn’s work rather than seeing it as a half completed building like the Lalbagh Fort. Utilizing light and space to create a ‘poetic entity’ are the architect’s own words which formed the basis of his many works and building philosophy.
Like the Taj Mahal, it looks amazing seen from afar, but is much more than the main building – the entire complex and grounds are beautiful. The complex is divided into three parts: The Main Plaza, The South Plaza, and The Presidential Plaza. The main building is at the center of the complex. The outer parts of the complex include the MP hostel. An intricately designed lake surrounds the main building.
On the North of complex, across the Lake Road, has beautiful small artificial lake called Crescent Lake, and there is a monument of late president Ziaur Rahman. The two complexes together form a major attraction for tourists in Dhaka.
The complexes are popular among joggers and skaters of Dhaka. The official Prime Minister’s Residence is on the North-West corner of the Mirpur Road and Lake Road crossing and is a five minute walk from the Bangladesh National Parliament. The area is one of the higher security zones of Dhaka.
This building is bounded by four major streets. The Complex can be accessed using any of the four roads surrounding it, however, the Manik Mia Avenue and Lake Road are the easiest approaches. The Lake Road is more scenic than from Manik Mia Avenue at south.
Although not a relic of historical age, it is considered a masterpiece of modern architecture. This makes a great tourist site to visit when in Dhaka. But sad to say, this superb piece of architectural work often found unseen and overlooked.
So It is our Bangladesh National Parliament House. It is very beautiful and gorgeous. Many people have come to visit here and they looked it. It is very Beautiful and we proud of our National Parliament House.

History,
There have been nine national elections in Bangladesh. The first and second Parliaments used the Old Shangshad Bhaban, which currently serves as the Prime Minister's Offic.Jatiyo Sangshad was designed by Louis Kahn. Initially, the government had appointed Muzharul Islam as the center's architect, but Islam deferred, instead recommending bringing in the world's top architects for the project. He initially attempted to bring Alvar Aalto and Le Corbusier, who were both were unavailable at the time. Islam then enlisted his former teacher at Yale, Louis Kahn.

Design philosophy
Kahn's key design philosophy optimizes the use of space while representing Bangladeshi heritage and culture. External lines are deeply recessed by porticoes with huge openings of regular geometric shapes on their exterior, shaping the building's overall visual impact.In the architect Louis Kahn's own words:
In the assembly I have introduced a light-giving element to the interior of the plan. If you see a series of columns you can say that the choice of columns is a choice in light. The columns as solids frame the spaces of light. Now think of it just in reverse and think that the columns are hollow and much bigger and that their walls can themselves give light, then the voids are rooms, and the column is the maker of light and can take on complex shapes and be the supporter of spaces and give light to spaces. I am working to develop the element to such an extent that it becomes a poetic entity which has its own beauty outside of its place in the composition. In this way it becomes analogous to the solid column I mentioned above as a giver of light.The lake on three sides of the Bhaban, extending up to the Members' hostel adds to site's aesthetics and also portrays the riverine beauty of Bangladesh.
It was not belief, not design, not pattern, but the essence from which an institution could emerge...[4]
The assembly building received the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 1989.
Characteristics of Bangladesh National Parliament
The physical and architectural design of the building gives off a strong Modernist vibe. The interiors apparently resembles a modern day cathedral intersected with pure geometrical elements. Geometrical windows allow natural light in the form of circles, triangles and rectangles, its very strong and simplistic.The use of concrete and its very visible role as the dominant building material is by no way an accident, indeed it was very deliberate and apparently typical of Kahn’s work rather than seeing it as a half completed building like the Lalbagh Fort. Utilizing light and space to create a ‘poetic entity’ are the architect’s own words which formed the basis of his many works and building philosophy.
