We spend so much time working for things that people take for granted, laughing, joking, drinking coffee and enjoying their environment. I guess somebody's got to suffer so that the many can enjoy it all.

Some of my sweetest memoeries are from the time when I was a student at nearby Residential Model School. Some of my friends used to go to Sangsad Bhaban to climb up the cranes.
Those days it was a very controversial (group of) buildings because nobody had seen anything like that before. Now it has transformed itself into an art, a wonder, a vision of a man who brought together 80 million people to form one common identity, one family. My deepest respect for your father - the Architect.

Well, that's why his son went to see Louis' architecture besides talking to the people who knew him...it was through the son's journey that we could see the architect, the father...in the other parts of the documentary, a lot was talked about his architecture...according to Nathan, this is where he found his father...and everyone has their own way of interpreting things...so you can't blame him for what he thinks is important to him... :)

thats a point !!!
It appears that Louis had extremely impacted the people of Bangladesh, made them think about who they are, made them love, made them remember. This is what architecture is about.
