Nubras Samayeen is a doctoral scholar at the Department of Landscape Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is doing her research on Landscape/Architecture with a minor in Heritage that focuses on modernist American architect Louis Kahn’s work in Dhaka, Bangladesh and probes modernism’s instrumentality in creating national identities by homogenising the cultural ethos of South Asian countries in their post-colonial paradigm.
