Muzharul Islam was born in 1923 in Murshidabad, British India. He died in Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2012 at the age of 88. As a Bangladeshi architect he is considered the father of Bengali modernism. He studied at the University of Oregon, AA School of Architecture in London, and at Yale. As you look at his work remember to set yourself back to the 50s and 60s. He is the recipient of many awards including the Aga Khan Award for Architecture (I suspect another source of great architects has been found).
