CLIENT AND BACKGROUND:

Banglaliterature was one of the subjects in architecture in BUET. In Architecture wehave to study English literature History, Geography, Philosophy, Phycology,Accounting, Planning, Math, Statics, Dynamic, Structure even Music with manyother subjects.

One day in ourclass a middle height soft spoken person entered and introduced himself Mahbub Talukdar,a professor from Chittagong University as part time teacher for BanglaLiterature. I have great fascination towards Bangla Literature and wanted tostudy on that subject but somehow materialized.

Mahbub Talukdarwas also was former writer, his knowledge in Bangla and world literature was good.In class sometimes he discussed beyond our course about world literaturespecially in Bangla literature. From class I was more interested reading novelthen the school book. We exchanged our view; he wanted to know how to do I knowthe name of that novel. I told him my father is addicted to books and has hugecollection of books. He desired to visit our house and meet my father. Withinvery short period he became our family friend. We also visited his house verynear to Komlapur Railway station. He used to stay with his father and mother.

1971 Liberationwas started, after liberation I completed BArch in 1972 and joined BangladeshConsultant LTD a private consulting company. Probably in late 70s MahbubTalukdar contacted me from Bangabhaban, probably his position was joint secretary.previously he was PS to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Then he used to stay inBangabhaban.

DREAM AND IDEAS:

He got a land inBaridhara in Block-K and was excited to build something new, so many ideas tobuild something, new something special. Create a building with flavors of localculture and heritage. Convinced him to make a brunt mud house here, because itgoes with ancient trend and culture. Santal in Dinajpur and rangpur build mudhouse with painting of different colors and texture on mud house.
