Jatiyo Sangsad Bhaban or National Parliament House, ((ベンガル語:জাতীয় সংসদ ভবন) ''Jatiyô Sôngsôd Bhôbôn'') is the house of the Parliament of Bangladesh, located at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka. Designed by architect Louis Kahn, the complex, is one of the largest legislative complexes in the world, comprising 200 acres (800,000 m²)〔 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. ==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 Office. 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jatiyo Sangsad Bhaban」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
