Abstract

Jatio Sangsad Bhaban or Nation Assembly Building or Capitol Complex of Bangladesh, is an iconic building designed by American architect Louis. I. Kahn. It is regarded as the national emblem and the national identity of Bangladesh. It has assumed a symbolic role in the nationalist movement of the Bangladeshi people which lead to the emergence of independent Bangladesh. Drawing on Peter Alter’s theory of nationalism, this paper will argue that his construct of the dual positive and negative character of nationalism aptly fits the role the Jatio Sangsad Bhaban has played from its outset, representing as his four aspects of nationalism: oppression, and at the same time emancipation, the repository of danger, and opportunity.
