Deputy Speaker's Residence, Dhaka

Deputy Speaker's Residence, Dhaka

The Speaker and Deputy Speaker Residences are part of the Jatiyo Sangsad Bhaban complex. The decision to construct these buildings during the 2001 government term was a controversial one. The government said that they were acting to "complete" the plans of the complex's architect, Louis Kahn, but some of the country's notable architects argued that no such section existed in the original plans. Construction has been halted as a result.
