hamidur rahman
was the man who gave shape to the concept and design of the shaheed minar by combining
all the aspirations of bengali identity and nationalism. he was the first art student
of bangladesh who in the 1950s went to europe and studied at ecole de beaux Art
in paris he was the pioneer of the new painting movement in the then pakistan but
he is most remembered for his remarkable design of the central shaheed minar when
hamidur rahman was assigned to make the design he was full of enthusiasm focusing
on the language movement as the central concept he wanted to find a new
expression to convey the aspirations of the people he experimented with basic
horizontal and vertical forms to bring out the concept of bengali solidarity
and unity for their national identity the vertical lines of his design provided
the manifestations of inner strength the four columns on both sides of the
central structure reflect the balance and harmony of a united stand the
original design had included stained glass with hundreds of eyes, through which
the sunlight could pass the marble floor was to reflect the moving shadows of
the column in an unending process of revolt from dawn to dusk in the basement
of the minar he had designed a grand fresco work of 1500 square feet depicting
the language movement this was to be his masterpiece again reflecting the theme
of geometric horizontal and vertical motifs of unity and strength rahman was
fully conscious of the tropical damp climate of bangladesh and therefore worked
out such materials for the minar that would withstand the climate he ensured
that the columns be made of such mixture of iron rods and cement as to stand
for centuries today the shaheed minar is a symbol of freedom strength and unity
in 1989 hamidur rahman passed away he is no more with us but we remember him
with great admiration and pride u:12,L:4
