The university authorities have conducted an online survey after the response of the teachers and students to the plan to build a new structure by demolishing the student-teacher center or TSC of Dhaka University. Ongoing, review of survey data.
Dhaka University - a monument of tradition, the maternity ward of art and culture TSC was demolished and expanded a few months ago.
Many in the socio-cultural arena, including university teachers and students, reacted mixedly to the news that Greek architect Constantine Doxiades had changed his design in the early sixties.
Many of the students opposed the change, saying, 'Everything if we think with development, big buildings have to be built. Need to develop. You have to be concrete, you don't have to judge everything that way. In some cases, there is a thing called tradition.
Many also expressed displeasure over the TSC's modernization initiative, keeping in mind the acute housing problem. The students said in this regard, "Instead of breaking up the TSC as the pressure of students is increasing, the halls should be expanded a little now."
Not just student-teacher meeting centers. TSC is also the starting point for cultural activities. Hasan Arif, general secretary of Sammilita Sangskritik Jote, said, “Every student has the right to grow up with history and tradition. Dhaka University is not the only university in the world, comparing it with ten other universities in the world as if it is being reformed.
Last month, the authorities conducted an online survey to find out the views of teachers and students. About two weeks after the survey ended, authorities did not release the results.
Abul Kalam Sikder, Chief Engineer, Dhaka University, said, "The Prime Minister has directed the Chief Architect of the Department of Architecture to design it and the Public Works Department to implement it."
Architects say work needs to be done on how to modernize the TSC building without demolishing it. In this context, architect Iqbal Habib said, 'Shaheed Minar on one side, Jagannath Hall on one side, Rokeya Hall on the other side can create a wonderful culture and political zone. We don't think about it, the mentality of demolishing this building and building a tall building here does not suit a knowledge-based institution. '
Syed Manjurul Islam, a former teacher of Dhaka University, who later taught at this university. He said, 'When a nation loses its heritage, that nation becomes extinct. Then if the process of breaking that tradition starts with Dhaka University, then Dhaka University will be in conflict with its own tradition. I think if you come up with something out of the ordinary, then they have to re-think their position.
Tradition or modernity? Aesthetics or development? Which way is TSC taking a storm in a cup of tea? Most of the students claim that TSC is the same as TSC, and those who want development, they also want the aesthetic construction style.
