Dhaka, Bangladesh

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.

Le Mans Film Pitch



I want to make a film. There's a Porsche I'd like to use. I'll do the driving and we'll shoot in Europe over Summer.

Yes, ok, ok, what's it about then?

I just told you.

O.K. Mr. McQueen, anything else?

Wedge cars and matching suits.
