Kashef Chowdhury's fascination for Kahn’s parliamentary building in Dhaka inspired this volume of photo essays. Kahn’s design is characterized by an innovative architectural language that combines western and eastern traditions forms and materials. 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 characterized 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.
