Abstract In the discourse of architectural history, origin and type are the two s~gnificant components of architectural genesis in any givcp. society. 'In search of this genesis, most local attempts consider the rural Dochala type hut as the point of instigation, derived rationally from the climatic, structural and geographic conditions of a region. Missing in this approach is a philosophical inquiry to relate Dochala form with its perceived image. When Dochala is represented as an image, this research asks, first, docs Dochala indicate any relation with human's existential values? Second, what are the parameters shaping the Representation of Dochala for purposes other than the existential values? In addressing these questions, this research, in addition, also identifies the' meaning of Dochala beyond the consideration of organizing and valuing its constituent elements only as part of a 'self-referral utilitarian product'. A subjective method of reasoning through phenomenology, a branch of philosophy, is considered to investigate and delineate the perception of DOG'ha/a form as an iinage. Hermeneutic phenomenology provides a theoretical framework for this research; existing texts and images from secondary sources are reviewed and interpreted for analysis, in particular, to find out d1C existential parameters shaping the represented image of Do,'hala. Within this framework, the research examines the following three issues: (a) the perception of house, first in general and then specified to Dotha/a ; (b) the perception of Dacha/a's form as an Image within its context of time, place and man; (c) the process of expressing the Image into Style creating a 'spatial scheme' of our architectural tradition. The research produced the following key fmdings. First, Docbala in general is d,e dialectic condition of man's dwelling craving for a utopian harmony. The inlage of Dochala indicating this harmony is the manifestation of man's existential query. This query is related with deep symbolic level of man's relation with his environment, and is interpreted metaphorically through the clements of architecture. Second, Docha/a reveals human existence by connecting the ambiguous 'sense of time', and for it's dweller it becomes a representing image for 'meaning of life' but remains incapable of providing scopes for creating a sty/e. Dotha/ds inability to offer stylistic complexity rather validates its simple representation of the complex structure of human poetics. The findings of this research identify a few significant issues which help construct a basis for future discourse on local architectural history and criticism. Existential din1cnsions of contemporary local architectural practice, d1e coherence and difference of 'modernism' and 'regionalism' in this locality, nature of modernism and modernity in architecture and the role of rural architecture in contemporary discourse are some of the issues which can be explored as a continuation of this research. 11 Table of Contents Title Page Board of Examiners Declaration Abstract Table of Contents List of Figures and Charts Acknowledgements Dedication Chapter 1 Introduction: The making of a 'HUT' [I] Backdrop 2 Research Ques tions : 3 Objective of the research 3 Research MetilOdology 4 .i Limitation and Scope of the research 4 Docha!a, Chala (Roof) and House: 11leir difference and rclation 6 The Notion of Bengal and tile Problem of Architectural Historiography 9 [II] Appraisal of Theoretical Paradigms: Defining DociJala 11 The singularity of humanity with divinity 12 The pavilion paradigm 14 The Rationalist paradigm 16 [III] Organization of the Research 18 Chapter 2 Phenomenology: Development of Architecture [I] Phenomenology: A Brief Introduction 22 [II] Phenomenology of Space 24 Immanuel Kant and Noumenal Reality of Space 24 Phenomenology as a science: Edmund Husserl 25 Dasein and Fotllfold.

  • Badal Sircar
    Badal Sircar Scripting a Movement Shayoni Mitra The ultimate answer [...] is not for a city group to prepare plays for and about the working people. The working people—the factory workers, the peasants, the landless laborers—will have to make and perform their own plays. [...] This process of course, can become widespread only when the socio-economic movement for emancipation of the working class has also spread widely. When that happens the Third Theatre (in the context I have used it) will no longer have a separate function, but will merge with a transformed First Theatre. —Badal Sircar, 23 November 1981 (1982:58) It is impossible to discuss the history of modern Indian theatre and not en- counter the name of Badal Sircar. Yet one seldom hears his current work talked of in the present. How is it that one of the greatest names, associated with an exemplary body of dramatic work, gets so easily lost in a haze of present-day ignorance? While much of his previous work is reverentially can- onized, his present contributions are less well known and seldom acknowl- edged. It was this slippage I set out to examine. I expected to find an ailing man reminiscing of past glories. I was warned that I might find a cynical per- son, an incorrigible skeptic weary of the world. Instead, I encountered an in- domitable spirit walking along his life path looking resolutely ahead. A kind old man who drew me a map to his house and saved tea for me in a thermos. A theatre person extraordinaire recounting his latest workshop in Laos, devis- ing how to return as soon as possible.

  • Seismic Vulnerability of Some Historical Masonry Mosques in Bangladesh
    4th Annual Paper Meet and 1st Civil Engineering Congress, December 22-24, 2011, Dhaka, Bangladesh ISBN: 978-984-33-4363-5 Noor, Amin, Bhuiyan, Chowdhury and Kakoli (eds) www.iebconferences.info Seismic vulnerability of some historical masonry mosques in Bangladesh M.A. Noor Department of Civil Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh M. Kamruzzaman Department of Civil Technology, Chittagong Polytechnic Institute, Chittgong, Bangladesh ABSTRACT: Ancient masonry structures are particularly vulnerable to dynamic actions, especially seismic actions. Although no major earthquakes occur in this country in the last few decades, during the past large earthquakes the masonry structures of this country behaved poorly. This paper presents a contribution to the safety assessment of historical masonry mosques located in different districts of Bangladesh. The approach used here aims at a simple, fast, and low cost procedure suggested by Lourenco and Oliveira based on a sim- plified geometric approach for immediate screening of the large number of mosques at risk. The proposed geometrical indices of monuments are compared with the respective seismic hazard, expressed by the PGA. The objective is to evaluate the possibility of adopting simple indexes related to geometrical data as a first (and very fast) screening technique to define priority for further studies. 1 INTRODUCTION In 1897, an earthquake of magnitude 8.7 caused serious damages to buildings in the northeastern part of India (including Bangladesh) and 1542 people were killed. The epicenter was at 230 kms from Dhaka City. During this earthquake almost all existing masonry structures of Bangladesh were either partially or fully destroyed. Figure 1 presents an isoseismal map showing the area under which the masonry structures were affected (An- sary & Noor 2005).

Kantanagar Temple, commonly known as Kantaji Temple or Kantajew Temple at Kantanagar; about 20 km north of Dinajpur District headquarters and about 1 km west of Dinajpur-Tetulia highway; is a late-medieval Hindu Temple. The Kantajew Temple is one of the most Krishna and his wife Rukmini and built by Maharaja Pran Nath (1704) and his son Raja Ramnath (1722).

Summary: If there is one belief that has united the left and the right, psychologists and philosophers, ancient thinkers and modern ones, it is the tacit assumption that humans are bad. It's a notion that drives newspaper headlines and guides the laws that shape our lives. But what if it isn't true? The author provides a new perspective on the past 200,000 years of human history, setting out to prove that we are hardwired for kindness, geared toward cooperation rather than competition, and more inclined to trust rather than distrust one another. In fact, this instinct has a firm evolutionary basis going back to the beginning of Homo sapiens. If we believe in the reality of humanity's kindness and altruism, it will form the foundation for achieving true change in society, a case that the author makes convincingly. 155.232 S944 Sue, Derald Wing; Spanierman, Lisa Microaggressions in everyday life.
