Description

A photographic essay on the the National Assembly Building in Dhaka by Louis Kahn Photographed by Kashef Chowdhury With 63 images and 1 plan With articles by Kashef Chowdhury and Juhani Pallasmaa The House That Kahn Built is a winner of the DAM Architectural Book Award for the ten best architectural books in 2025 Working from his Urbana practice in Bangladesh, Kashef Chowdhury designs architecture that is rooted in the history and nature of its location – whereby the latter also relates to a spiritual and cultural level. This explains his fascination for Kahn's parliamentary building in Dhaka, which inspired this volume of photo essays. Kahn's design is characterised by an innovative architectural language that combines western and eastern traditions, forms and materials. For instance, in view of the great importance of water in Bengali tradition, he placed the building complex by an artificial lake. Furthermore, although it is defined by strict geometrical forms, the parliamentary building reflects the transcendental nature of the National Assembly, defining the hopeful founding years of the independent state of Bangladesh.
