WAPDA House, Administrative building at Charing Cross in Lahore, Pakistan
WAPDA House rises nine stories with three wings, including a central rotunda measuring 20 meters in diameter and extending through the building's height of 35 meters.
The construction of WAPDA House, designed by American architect Edward Durell Stone, began in October 1963 and required 17,000 tonnes of cement and 5,650 tonnes of steel.
The building functions as headquarters for Pakistan's Water and Power Development Authority, managing the nation's water resources and electricity production since its completion.
The building contains 1,000 rooms across nine floors, with broad corridors connecting three entrance halls and a staff canteen offering meals at reasonable prices.
WAPDA House features a plexiglass dome on its rooftop and incorporates modernist architectural elements throughout its three distinct structural sections.
