| This
is one of the built projects that I designed. This is not particularly
an architectural project I wud say, but I think was an wonderful
oppurtunity to start a career. This project was designed in
request from the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED)
in the year 1998. A volunteer effort. But I consider this a
contribution to the memory of the '71 martyrs. Construction
was complete by early 1999. This memorial and epitaph is dedicated
to the memory of 7 freedom fighters along with Bir Shreshtha
Nur Mohammad. It was primarily a barren grave of the fighters.
And not even known where was who being laid. The project is
located at a deeply remote village named Kashimpur in Sharsha
of Jessore District, only a couple of miles from Indian border.
Infact, the distant trees in the first picture is over the border.
It is said that the 7 fighters reached their martyrdom while
fighting at this area with the pakis.
We
took an assumption and designed 7 sybolic epitaphs for the dead.
And a sculpture was designed to dignify. There's an underlying
theme of the design, as a whole. This was my personal thought
while I designed it. The facing sculpture resembling our national
flag (also made of 7 plaques) are imagined to come out of the
ground by the sacrifice of the freedom fighters who went down
into the ground. They pushed out the flag and liberty. Kool,
huh! But who is going to know this! But neways, you know it
now. If u have a comment, don't hesitate to mail
me. |
