Lecture by Nurur Rahman Khan: The Modernist Muzharul Islam
7 PM Nurur Rahman Khan, renowned Bangladeshi Architect and Director of the Muzharul Islam Archive, will hold a lecture on the grand Bangladeshi architect Muzharul Islam (1923-2012). Islam strived to mediate between tradition and the modern, while absorbing the local and the international to equal extents in his architecture. It was in keeping with his personal understanding of intercultural dialogue to bring western protagonists to his homeland for important construction projects, such as his teacher Paul Rudolph and his college friend Stanley Tigerman, both of whom he met when studying architecture in the USA, and ultimately Louis I. Kahn.
