Louis Kahn actually died before his masterpiece in Bangladesh was finished, ultimately taking 21 years to complete.
When he was found dead in the bathroom at Penn Station, he was bankrupt, having ironically not built anything for himself. He also had a secret second wife and family and was considered a saviour to Bangladeshi people.
It is dealt with beautifully in the documentary 'My Architect' by his estranged son who embarked on the project in an attempt to come to terms with the legacy of greatness despite his flaws as a father.
Hopefully this will give you a idea of the scale of the Capital Complex project.

Phillip Island, good times.
I wish I could say is the land that time forgot, but unfortunately it seems progress has found its way over the bridge. However there are still some pockets, some original homes and places that are safe from the greedy hands of developers.
The old fibro and stilt homes still exist and remind me of a Phillip Island with a sand road at Woolamai, Duchies chips and surfing at Summerland Bay.
Good times...
Renault Gordini
The Renault Gordini looks like it will make a return. The colours, the stripe and name are all there (and will no doubt add a few extra thousand to the price) I just hope that it's more than cosmetic.
Why they don't just re-release the original. Check it out.
(Excuse the ads at the beginning, only 15 secs or so...)
