The fourth logbook, which appeared in 2008 with Børge Nissen as co-editor, is written in English and bears the title of
KUWAIT NATIONAL ASSEMBLY – prefab.
It is a project which, in its monumental scale and its national symbolical significance, can be compared with the corresponding projects by Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn in Chandigarh and Dacca respectively.
Utzon organises the site like a town modulated over a square mesh network of covered streets framing the two-storey administration buildings, each of which encloses a square courtyard.
The structure is intersected by a main axis providing access to the great Assembly Hall and Reception Hall and ending in the gigantic loggia called Covered Square, where the complex opens out towards the sea.
