As architects it is our duty to touch peoples lives. To make them love where they are and what they have. That is the beauty of architecture and that is the task given to us. I'm still a student and it will be my job to make this happen.

If you have something negative to say about this, go watch Lady Gaga or read a comic book. It's more in your league.

@foodforchew dull ? are you kiding. This is not about entertaining the mind. It is about touching the soul. How can so much beauty, so much heartfelt gratitude be dull ?

I am from Bangladesh, it really is an exquisite building. We are proud to have it and we thank him for it. A shame that the people within do not match the grace of the exterior.

I totally agree. The emotion the last speaker has is alone video worthy

There is an unusual amount of negative commentary on this video, and to those people I would say; you're missing the point.
