Cover Story

Memorials are signs in the shape of architectural structures or sculptures. They rekindle our spirit that we once invested in actions, actions that made history and later translated into deferential forms or structures.
In Bangladesh the Shahid Minar that was erected to commemorate the martyrs of Language Movement set off the culture of building monuments. Later, after the seminal victory in 1971, structures dedicated to the history of independence were built. Though years have elapsed since the completion of these national monuments they aptly define our cultural and historical heritage.
But there is another hidden element behind these glorious structures. There are many untold stories of the artists who turned their visions into such tangible forms. The architects behind the main monuments that depict our struggle for freedom give a rare insight into the thoughts behind their creation, their moments of frustration and elation during envisioning or planning these remarkable labours of love.
