I was going through wikimapia.org and found these swastika shaped buildings in Nairobi at the KNH compound. Who owns them and why on earth did an architect design houses in such a controversial topic of swastika?  Life is an endless adventure

There is also a building opposite Steers Wabera Street that has the sign. Ask a Hindu what it means, you may be surprised.

The swastika is a religious symbol dating back to the Indus valley civilization (one of the first human civilizations). Its popularity and controversy outside Asia was a result of it being used as the symbol of Nazism. Have a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SwastikaBefore you can be be old and wise, you must first be young and stupid.

At KNH they are actually junior quarters for the doctors domestic staff I wish to know who the architects were. Accept no one's definition of your life; define your life.
