Designed by famous Japanese architect, Kenzō Tange, [1] under the consultation of the EPA, the complex was engineered and built by the CDA Engineering and Siemens Engineering. [2] The building was part of an effort by the government of Pakistan to incorporate modernism into the architecture of important government buildings, for which several architects were invited; Tange, after initially rejecting the invitation, ultimately agreed to participate.
