Dakkhindihi Rabindra complex

Abstract

Rabindranath Tagore saw a world in which man, nature, and knowledge would be in perfect balance, which became the basis of his art, education, and style of living. His faith in freedom of thought and learning in nature still triggers spaces that are beyond time and borders. The project is based on this vision, and an architectural environment should be created where his principles of simplicity, spirituality, and coexistence can be expressed. The design is located at the historic house of Mrinalini Devi in Dakkhindihi, Phultala, Khulna and invites the site to establish the tangible heritage of the site and absorb the intangible cultural spirit of the site. The built form, water, and landscape through an interplay aspire to achieve the vision of Tagore of a living dialogue between heritage, humanity, and Mother Nature.
