So I have a qualm. So I rented...not even bought...
A Global History of Architecture text book for 70 odd bucks and while among zillions of interesting places I felt proud to see "Sherebangla Nagar". But what irks me why is that the only place represented from BD? Granted, my knowledge is lay at this level, but one of the three authors Vikramaditya Prakash (among Francis Ching and Mark Jarzombek), seemed to have devoted about 3 pages on Chandigarah.
Is it really fault of BD architects not to highlight more interesting places (see my other thread
here) or that is the only one "recognized" internationally? I mean Smriti Shoudh was omitted and so was other ruins of temples, mosques or even Paharpur (if you count it as architecture).
Thoughts?
Edit: Paharpur was mentioned but not under index of BD.
