I have framed word illustration, a great work for Bangladesh In the background of modernism.
Louis Kahn designed the entire Jatiyo Sangsad complex, which includes lawns, lake and residences for the Members of the Parliament. The entire masterpiece is designed in a way to form one or non–differentiable entity connecting the garden and mosque, surrounding the structure and forming a statement on the landscape.
Kahn’s key design philosophy optimizes the use of space while representing Bangladeshi heritage and culture. External lines are deeply recessed by porticoes with huge openings of regular geometric shapes on their exterior, shaping the building’s overall visual impact.

I made a few comments but was too engrossed in your explanation to add many. What I added are places where you could clarify or elaborate. Beautiful explanation!!
You address the assignment, can you directly tie it into the readings?
The assignment is to, examine the ways in which the creator was responding, directly or indirectly, to theories related to linguistics or semiology, avant-garde art movements, or the psychological perception of forms (ie. any of the ideas that we’ve covered).
Discuss the manner in which the design you’ve chosen embodies these theories. Provide direct references to relevant passages from our readings. Locate additional writings using library resources to substantiate your comparisons.
