Özet:

 

This study aims to discuss the reasons and justifications of socioeconomic, cultural, political
and intellectual realm of Bengal from theoretical and critical basis. Such historical discourse will
reintroduce a poet who already defined and shaped a nation's identity and also his concept reached in
architectural realm which was never brought to light previously. An exposition for the findings related
to the dwellings of Rabindranath Tagore, at Santiniketan could be the clue as he is considered one of
the Bengal’s foremost modern personalities. The methodology will involve his writings as primary
confab sources as well as recent and previous renowned researchers’ contextual works as secondary
sources to derive comparison based interpretations and explore hypothetical scopes. Such punitive
approach from historical inquiries with architectural perspective regarding Tagore’s literary genius will
reveal his more patriotic philosophies that were previously misguided or even isolated and
conventionally known ideologies from colonial context. The paucity of Tagore’s direct references are
imperative sources to rely on, as in-situ analyses are also followed. Written allusions about space and
architecture in his poems and dramas constructed the literature review of the study. In doing so, the
paper also endeavours to comprehend the immense potential for understanding and appreciating
Tagore's less-highlighted genius, like architectural creations. Placing these findings within the
framework of contemporaneous accomplishments, this study will discover Bengal as pan-Asian
leading position and analysis will show how regional modernism silently flourished through architecture
under Tagore’s prophecy.
