Bangladesh’s National Parliament House is a stunning building that embodies the country’s rich history and culture.

It was designed in 1982 by architect Louis I. Kahn and symbolizes the diverse people of Bangladesh and their aspirations for democracy.

The architecture of the building is a true work of art, with its large dome, open courtyard, and central hall. All of which will be explored in greater detail throughout this article.

Bangladesh’s Parliament House.

Dhaka is home to the National Parliament House, a building that’s recognized throughout the world. The building has compiled nearly 30 years of service as the seat of Bangladeshi democracy.

The renowned landmark stands proudly at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar in Dhaka’s Sher-e-Bangla Nagar region.

As an architectural masterpiece designed by architect Louis Kahn, this massive structure covers around 200 acres of land. It is comprised of 8 blocks that are connected by walkways to create a complex yet beautiful pattern.

The building was engineered to incorporate a sense of openness with its open courtyards and wide corridors that promote natural ventilation from the abundance of trees surrounding it.

The History.

The National Parliament House was built in 1982 as a way to celebrate Bangladesh’s new found independence.

By having an impressive structure dedicated to democracy, it was meant to show the world that the people of Bangladesh were committed to having a voice in their government.

As such, it has become a symbol of freedom and hope for many Bangladeshi citizens.

The Buildings Architecture.

The structure itself was designed with an eye toward efficiency and convenience. Its multi-level design allows easy access to both upper and lower chambers, while its open-plan layout provides ample space for members to move around freely.

In addition, the building has been constructed using eco-friendly materials like bricks which help reduce energy consumption levels by up to 30%.

 

Interior Decoration and Meaning.

The design of the National Parliament House is quite unique and stands out among other buildings in Dhaka City.

It features a stylized central dome that towers over visitors, as well as several smaller domes surrounding it, that are meant to represent members of the legislative assembly from different constituencies. Inside, there are three chambers – two for each house of parliament – where legislative debates take place regularly.

What’s more impressive about this building is its use of natural light – something architect Louis I. Kahn was very passionate about – which is used to create beautiful patterns inside and outside the building during different times of day or night.

People of the House.

The National Parliament House celebrates diversity not only through its architecture but also through its inhabitants – namely the members of parliament who come from various backgrounds and represent different interests within Bangladeshi society.

This includes important figures like Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed, Leader of the Opposition Raushon Ershad Jatiya Party (JP), Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury (BNP) as well as many other influential political leaders who have contributed greatly to Bangladesh’s development over the years.

Technology.

Technology has revolutionized how we communicate, making it faster and more efficient. Many countries now have access to innovative communication systems that allow them to share data and information easily.

At the National Parliament House, technology is being used to facilitate communication between constituents and lawmakers. Presentations are now broadcast live on virtual platforms, while representatives can easily connect via video conferencing tools.

Furthermore, emails and text messages can be sent in real time so that Bangladesh’s National Parliament House can address questions and concerns quickly. 

The use of technology has enabled better collaboration between members of parliament as well as increased transparency within the legislative process. It also allows for a greater range of voices to be heard since it is easier for constituents to reach out and get their message across without geographical or time constraints.

 

Conclusion.

National pride and identity are an important part of a nation’s culture that is embodied in many facets of its daily life. National pride and identity manifest in many ways, such as the National Parliament House present in most countries around the world.

This building symbolizes the power and importance of a nation’s political system and gives citizens a sense of belonging. It not only highlights the strength of democracy within a country but also serves as an embodiment of national pride and identity for all who enter it.

Bangladesh’s National Parliament House serves as a reminder that democracy can take many forms – from physical structures to those who inhabit them – but all should be celebrated for their potential to bring about change for the betterment of all people involved.

From its stunning design to its representation of diversity among people, it is no wonder why this iconic building continues to draw visitors both local and foreign alike daily!
