Jatiyo Sangshad (National
Assembly) Building of Bangladesh, located in the capital Dhaka. It was
created by architect Louis Kahn and is one of the largest legislative
complexes in the world. It houses all parliamentary activities of
Bangladesh. 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 Office.
Construction of the Jatiyo Sangshad Bhaban began in 1961 by the
Government of Pakistan as a permanent building for the federal
legislature of both West and East Pakistan. However, it was the eighth
(and last) session of the second parliament of Bangladesh that first
used it on 15 February 1982 after its construction was completed on 28
January of the same year. The Jatiyo Sangshad Bhaban has been in
operation and has acted as the sole complex used as the National
Assembly ever since.
Jatiyo Sangshad was designed by Louis Kahn. First, Muzharul Islam was
given to design Jatiyo Sangshad Bhaban by the government. But, Islam
brought his teacher Louis Kahn into the project to do a significant work
for future generation. But, Muzharul Islam assisted Kahn at the
project.
