One of the many memorable things from the film _My Architect_ (biographical inquiry concerning Louis Kahn, by his son):
During the Bangaladesh war for independence, Pakistani fighter pilots did not bomb the partially completed parliament buildings for the Bangaladeshi capitol, because they thought they were ancient ruins.
The buildings were actually built by hand (albeit using modern concrete), because the Bangaladeshi did not have heavy machinery, so a large labor force carried concrete on their backs.
Alexander the Great died at Babylon,
And Louis Kahn died
in a men's room in Pennsylvania Station
(returning from Bangaladesh).\brad mccormick
