ঝিনাইদহে স্থাপতির বাড়ি | Suhailey Farzana, Hasibul Kabir | Cocreation Architect

This home in Jhenaidah is more than a structure; it is a microcosm of their beliefs—a living, breathing entity that evolves with its surroundings. It is a hub of innovation where the future of architecture is shaped by the hands of those who dwell within and around it. The story of this residence is a narrative of building with, not just for, a testament to a future where communities lead the way in the symphony of sustainable development.

KhudiBari (খুদিবাড়ি) by Marina Tabassum Architects | FACE | Documentary Trailer

FACE* (Foundation for Architecture and Community Equity) is working with families located in flood-prone regions in Bangladesh living with the consequences of the climate catastrophe testing/adapting a low-cost modular shelter system. Khudi Bari (or tiny house) is designed to withstand high water/wind and can easily be relocated.

Supported by private donors, in March 2021 the first three homes were built in collaboration with families living on Chor Hijla. These families are now adapting the modules and we are learning from their adaptations. At least one family member from this first iteration will become part of our training team as the project is rolled out in other areas.

 

We are currently looking for support/funding/partners. Please contact MarinaTabassumArchitect@gmail.com and alborteresa@hotmail.com if you are interested in hearing more about the project.

Reimagined সংসদ ভবন

" It was not belief, not design, not pattern, but the essence from which an institution could emerge... "

- Louis I Kahn on the National Parliament Building of Bangladesh

 

This is a CG animated short film by Asif Salman.

 

The architect of this building Louis I Kahn never got the chance to see his masterpiece in real life. Kahn died in 1974 when the project was approximately three-quarters completed and it continued under David Wisdom, who worked for Kahn.

 

The national parliament house of Bangladesh took 21 years, almost the same as the Taj Mahal to build this modern architectural marvel. The complex is one of the largest legislative complexes in the world, comprising 200 acres (800,000 m²)

 

Construction was halted during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War and was completed on 28 January 1982.
