The politically charged period from 1947 to 1971 in East Pakistan, leading to the birth of Bangladesh, witnessed remarkable architectural achievements. Prominent architects like Muzharul Islam, Louis Kahn, Constantinos Doxiadis, and others created iconic structures, raising intriguing questions about the interplay between political movements and architectural expression. These buildings, including the Parliament Complex, University of Dhaka Library, and Dhaka New Market, exemplified the socio-cultural spirit of the nation during its quest for self-determination.
