Modern architecture, with its clean non-referential language, was preferable to him to bypass that quandary. He decried both the stigma of colonialism and some of the dark aspects of what goes as tradition. The immediate past could not be relied upon, that basically involved the brandishing of colonial culture. Working in the 1950s, Islam’s quandary was what should be the basis of his work. In these buildings, politics and aesthetics intersect in an interesting way. Islam’s Public Library (now Dhaka University Library) and the Dhaka Art College was a definitive change at the time (from the Mughal and British times), even if it was during the Pakistani period.

Of course, then, and certainly now, you could critique the work for advancing into other directions, but the die was cast for a distinctive architectural culture and language. Now that’s a sacrifice for nation-building! With such stalwarts working in Bangladesh, the beginning was already robust, the discourse was already of a high calibre.
It’s also known that Islam was first approached to design the parliament complex in Dhaka, but he suggested getting Kahn. This was not so much to hit Bengalis on their head, but to build up an international level of practice in an architecturally vacuous situation.
Islam was simply an architect, he did not invite Kahn, Rudolph, and others directly, but was instrumental in getting them to Bangladesh. It was not quite like that in Bangladesh, or East Pakistan, then. Nehru invited Corbusier to India to hit Indians on the head, as he himself said. How has that influenced the way architecture was done in the country? For instance, in India, we still carry the Le Corbusier legacy in so many ways. Like Nehru, Islam too got international architects such as Louis Kahn and Paul Rudolph, among others, to come and work in Bangladesh. Their buildings, therefore, participated beyond building-making, into establishing a new culture of living, working and thinking.ĪLSO READ | Bangladesh 50: My Teacher, Marina Ahmad We often forget that these architects were working in a certain intellectual and motivational vacuum as far as architecture was concerned.

With his friend, American architect Stanley Tigerman, he designed five polytechnic institutes and created a landmark manual for building in Bangladesh. Just as Kanvinde was sent by (India’s first prime minister Jawaharlal) Nehru to Harvard (University, the US) for training, to return and design the various IITs, Islam was trained in Oregon (University) and later, at Yale, to be involved in the design of many institutions. Not just buildings for their own aesthetic gratification, but how they impacted society. Could you elaborate?īoth Achyut Kanvinde and Islam’s notions of modern architecture involved the social, and in the context of the 1950s and ’60s, the demands and requirements of the new nation-state. In the past, you’ve written about how India’s Achyut Kanvinde and Islam were almost working in parallel, in terms of their values of architecture as a nation-building exercise.
