What do you think of Bangladesh parliament building?

How would you rate the Bangladesh parliament building designed by Louis I Khan, if you have not seen it then look it up on Google, I believe it to be one of the best modern parliament / non parliament building in the world.

1. I think it looks silly and better suited to be an art school for failed artists rather than a parliament building; but that's just my opinion.
2. I find that it looks like a dolled-up prison. I really don't like it too much, there are, in my opinion, much better parliament buildings. But your opinion is your own. :-)
3. I am from Bangladesh and I wish I could have reinforced your belief that Bangladesh parliament building designed by Louis I Khan is a masterpiece! I had been inside this building several times, both during the parliament sessions going on and during off-time. To me it is a waste of precious space and also the maintenance is not an easy task considering our hot and humid weather. High wooden doors and big sizes window panes are getting buckled / dirty and there is not a single sign of modern gadgets those we can see in any ordinary airports, except for the gruesome 'security arches' and air-conditioning of the main hall. I would not even open my mind on this had you not asked this question, since it was a painful experience for me to witness this colossus (statue much bigger than life size) thing might have served the larger size ego of our the then government who allowed this kind of wastage on the largest farmland of Asia! However, I do respect your views and hope that we can make better use of this building than to have the merrymaking and mockering acts those we saw in many years now since its inauguration. PS. To me the only meaningful event that was performed when the first SARC (now SAARC) head of Governments meeting was held during late President Ziaur Rahman's time. Can we think of having this as a higher institution for learning, like any University or research centre?
