THE MOTIVE OF THIS PROJECT:
This memorial museum complex is a thesis project, which is proposed to show respect to the great national leader of Bangladesh, Bongotaj Tajuddin Ahmad, and his journey throughout the political history of Bangladesh.

SHORT BRIEF OF BONGOTAJ’S LIFE:
Bongotaj Tajuddin Ahmed was the first prime minister of Bangladesh. One of the significant national leaders of Bangladesh. He was a cold-minded leader. He leads many historical movements of Bangladesh. He was the constant companion of the political journey of the father of our nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. His life’s motive was to do something for the people of Bangladesh and in every historical movement he was on the frontline with Bangabandhu. His life’s great success was lead and organized liberation war movement of Bangladesh, absence of Bangabandhu. When the nation was in danger history choose him for this great work. The nine-month liberation war history of Bangladesh was the witness of his great leadership. He united all political personalities and the people of Bangladesh and made the first government called the “Mujibnagar Government” and collect support for the liberation war. He handles all types of conspiracy at that time of war. Because of that, the people of Bangladesh got a free nation and a flag that is their own. But, some people didn’t like that and they first killed the father of the nation and then killed four national leaders along with Bongotaj. Nation dropped into the dark age of history.

PROJECT BRIEF:
This project is located at Tajuddin Ahmed’s birthplace Kapasia, Gazipur, Bangladesh. This site is a part of his home, with existing residences, a school, mosque, school field & a pond.

I divided his life’s timeline into four major parts like “British Period”, “Pakistan Period”, “Liberation War”, “Bangladesh Period”. Every period I saw some change in his life gain and loss.

My design conceptual development was built on the basis of his speech. He was a disciplined man with his commitment and work for the people from his soul. My idea was to find him by his great work and his historical journey of glorious victory.

So, my concept is I I Journey Through a Glorious Victory I I

We find Tajuddin Ahmad by his contribution to the nation-building, which would be showing respect for his contribution. By knowing a leader like him and his philosophy, personality, and leadership our future leader will be inspired.
His goal was fixed, to do something for the nation and history find him out. So, I created an axis through the site which I represent as his life’s timeline and some volume with the axis that will be his life journey through history.
I created some green slopes to blend the built form with nature like the personality of Tajuddin Ahmad. From the entry of the site, people saw only green slop at the front and the axis at the back, and the green natural beauty of the forest as a backdrop.
I create a continuous water body with five gallery spaces. Water is used to imitate the deltaic landscape of Bangladesh as well as a guiding element. Water channels and the sound of water flow guide the visitors to the end of the journey- a terminal to evoke a sensual emptiness that reminds the absence of Tajuddin Ahmad.
We walk through his life’s timeline and in the end, we lost him. When people go to “Galley 05” they show the darkest history of our nation, the leaders who navigate us to find a new nation we present their brutal death.
The “Hall of Remembrance” feels the historical ambiance of losses & sacrifice.
A screen of life's timeline of the political journey of Tajuddin Ahmed’s created for the visitor in front of “Hall of Remembrance”.
Creating a pathway with the existing residence and other structures. So, visitors can visit the existing residence of Tajuddin Ahmad where he has been raised.
