Iconic building : Post independence

Quaid\'s Residency
Situated in Ziarat, a hill station in Balochistan province, the Residency was where Pakistan's founder Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah spent the last days of his life. The ailing Jinnah was recommended a rest and Ziarat was the best choice for its fragrance and fresh mountain air. There, the Residency, a wooden structure, provided the founder with the perfect retreat.

Islamia College

Situated in Peshawar, Islamia College was established in 1913 by Nawab Sir Sahabzada Abdul Qayyum and Sir George Roos Kepel. The idea of Abdul Qayyum, an educationist-cum-politician, was to build an educational institute that imparts modern education to the Muslims. Later on, the students of Islamia College played an important role in the movement of independence for Pakistan; even Jinnah visited the College thrice.

kerala legislative assembly

One of the most hideous building ever conceived by man . Its an eyesore and I as a Keralaite will be very happy if its taken down or atleast the building used for something else rather than being used as the Legislative Assembly of the State.

Yeah that building didn't impress me at all.
