An Architecture of Independence: The Making of Modern South Asia shows how architects responded to the nation-building effort in these countries. The exhibition features the work of four leading architects -- Achyut Kanvinde, Balkrishna Doshi, and Charles Correa of India, and Muzharul Islam of Bangladesh. Each created an authentic modern Indian architecture that is based on modern architecture of the West, but at the same time preserves and reinterprets Indian tradition. It also reveals the wide impact these architects have had on South Asian architectural culture through their teaching, writings, professional activities and affiliations, and social activism.
Muzharul Islam -- National Library, Dhaka, Bangladesh Here the central volume of the library, which houses the concrete stacks in which books are stored, is contained by concrete walls. Enveloping this core on three sides are unornamented structures of brick that are cut away at the corners. The cuts continue toward the center of the building, allowing air to circulate and light to penetrate to the librarys heart so as to moderate the hot, humid Bangladesh climate. Islam, like Kanvinde, has stripped the structure down to its unembellished essence; however, where Kanvinde boldly features the concrete of which his milk processing plant is made, Islam gives the concrete in his library a literally and figuratively supportive role.
The aim of the Institute is to provide meaningful education, to conduct original research of the highest standard and to provide leadership in technological innovation for the industrial growth of the country.
Halls of residence, faculty and staff houses and community buildings surround the central academic area to provide flexibility in movement and communication.
