As impressive as the National Assem

As impressive as the National Assembly Building’s coming of age is, Louis Kahn’s design is the most intriguing aspect of the project.  As mentioned before modern architecture does not bode well with identity; its identity sits within the autonomous dichotomy of modern architects and their work far from culture and architectural precedents.  The National Assembly Building is unique in the sense that it is modernist in principle, but it is a project deeply rooted in its context, the citizens, and Bangali vernacular.  With most modern buildings, it can be placed almost anywhere in the world without much fuss, which does not exactly work with the National Assembly.  Kahn’s designed called for simplistic local materials that were readily available and could be implemented in distinctly similar ways that would protect against the harsh desert climate integrating a modern building into an otherwise non-modern context.
