The iconic Teacher Student Centre (TSC) at the Dhaka University is an invaluable part of Bangladesh’s cultural heritage and among the modern architectural landmarks of the country. The building was originally designed by a Greek architect and built in the 1960s.
Recently the DU authorities decided to build a multi-storey building in place of the current TSC – a decision that sparked widespread criticism from various quarters.
In a response to this, the country’s leading architects and a section of civil society have dedicated themselves to finding an alternative to the demolition of TSC – a universally admired centre in relation to the country’s student politics and cultural life.
