Concept
• The heart of the project is the chamber of remembrance and
realization
• The exterior of the form is austere & humble marked by
bullet marks, representing the ravages of war.
• The vertical column like elements puncturing through the
gallery and shooting out of the building poetically celebrates
not only the elation of victory.
• The expression also signifies normal people transforming to
freedom fighters through the rising of Bangabandhu's fist.
• Seven pillars in front of the complex are in memory of the
seven highest martyrs (BIR SRESHSTHOs).
• A circular wall of red hue depicting murals and mots are a
reminder to the void of dislocation of refugees, victims of
war and all who has lost their beloved.
• It represents the freedom of human mind and spirit, hanging
in between the physical and the metaphysical. A person is
reminded of the past but Is forced towards the future and a
sense of libeaion.
• The charnel of water has a dual meaning of invitation & the
deltaic nature of Bangladesh. The red wall behind the flame
depicts the peoples’ struggle and plight of our history by
means cut-out murals & mots. The wall of the auditorium
would hold digital panels to display contributors' names.

Concept
Government of Bangladesh took the initiative to build the monument in 1996. The construction
began in 1999. Kashef Mahboob Chowdhury and Marina Tabassum designed the project. The
main attraction of the project is a 50-meter high tower composed of stacked glass panels, which
stands at the place where the Pakistani Instrument of Surrender was signed at the end of the
war.
The foundation stone of the Swadhinata Stambha was laid in 1999. The construction of the
project began in the same year. The construction was completed in two phases.
The main attraction of the Swadhinata Stambha is the Stambha itself. The tower was built on
the place where the commander-in-chief of East Pakistan Army Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi
signed the papers of his surrender.
During night, the tower looks elegant as the rays of light come out from every single inches of
the tower. The whole tower turns into a white pillar. The tower is square according to the plan
and is 16 feet wide from every side with an area of 64 inches.
The underground museum of the project comprises several photographs with historical
significance. A large photograph of the historical 7th March Speech of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
is the main attraction of the underground museum.
There are a number of terracotta murals on war-heroes and the events of the Liberation War, a
2000-seat auditorium, and an open-air theatre. The eternal flame stands beside the tower.
The water body of the project reflects the whole tower all the day and increases the beauty of
the project. But the water body is under potential threat as the local slum-dwellers use it for their
daily needs.

Historical Transformation
Palais du Louvre (louver palace) was built on the site of a castle from the Middle Ages,
which kept the foundations and the moat. This building was based on one of the largest
royal palaces across Europe in 1527, Francis I, King of France and great patron of the arts,
commissioned the architect Pierre Lescot
The taste of the monarch is in favor of the Italian Renaissance style.Premise that Lescot
employed to perform a classical building organized around a
square courtyard, the Cour Carré.
The second round of renovations was in seventeenth century,
during which there were alternately abandonment of
residence, which became a market full of shacks attached to
the walls, and the restoration of the facade ordered by Louis
XIV. These works are what make the current aesthetics of the
building, subject to strict French Baroque. The architects were
Claude Perrault, author of the project and interior designer, Le
Vau and Le Brun. The intervention took place between the
years 1667 and 1670

55. 55
Design Concept
The museum was designed as following public accessibility comfort. The design followed linier formats. The
main building is in a square shape, having void space in middle for sufficient light and air consuming.
Peistartedfromthepremisethat,ratherthanthatthemuseumbeinglocatedon
lya large elongated building, it should organise itself in a U shape
around a courtyard.
ThenhehadtheideaofdiggingupthecourNapoleon,toprovideenoughspacef
or two additional floors underground.
He said, entry should have an appropriate scale however, refused to
build a solid element that would compete with the presence of the
baroque buildings.
At the centre of the courtyard he designed a glass and steel pyramid to
serve as entrance which was mirrored by another inverted pyramid
underneath, to reflect sunlight into the rooms.
