Bi Works for Issuu.Cdr BENGAL INSTITUTE WORKS The Bengal Institute for Architecture, Landscapes and Settlements is a unique, multi-disciplinary forum for the study and design of the environment. As a place for advancing the understanding of the lived environment, the Bengal Institute presents a platform for developing ideas to improve the qualities of architecture, landscapes, cities and settlements in Bangladesh. In generating a critical, creative and humanistic dialogue, the Institute applies an integrated approach to the study and rearrangement of the environment. Innovative transdisciplinary programs of the Institute integrate architectural and design research, investigation of cities and settlements, and the study of larger regions and landscapes. ACADEMIC PROGRAM With the intention of creating an inter-disciplinary, postgraduate educational development in architecture, urban design, landscape design, and settlement studies in Bangladesh, Bengal Institute's Academic Program was launched in August, 2015. Structured around seminars, lecture series, and workshop styled design studios, the Academic Program offers monthly sessions in Spring and Fall Sequences that are open to anyone with an interest in the study and rearrangement of the environment. Faculty with national and international repute conducts the activities of the program. RESEARCH AND DESIGN PROGRAM The Research and Design Program is dedicated to the study, design and planning of cities, settlements and landscapes. With the aim of facilitating the planned physical future of Bangladesh along with socio-economic development, the Program operates at various scales, from the regional to the small neighborhood. The research and design focus of the program includes regional contexts, small towns, public space, public transport, high density livability, hydrological dynamics, landscape forms and settlement patterns. In collaboration with various government, non-government, local and international institutions, the program has been carrying out diverse operations. PUBLICATION AND MEDIA With an objective to elevate visual insights and environmental awareness, and to reach out to a wider audience, Bengal Institute carries out robust publications and media based activities. The Institute publishes magazines, newsletters, leaflets, anthologies, books, periodicals in prints, with a growing repository of digital publications in e-books, videos, audios and alternative media. Major exhibitions have been mounted to bring the story of cities and environment to the public. “Locations: Anthology of Architecture and Urbanism,” which is distributed world-wide, is the first international publication collaboration between Bangladesh and the USA. AN ENLIGHTENED FUTURE FOR THE COUNTRY In the last year and half, Bengal Institute for Architecture, Landscapes and Settlements has earned its recognition for its innovative programs in research and design activities, academia, publication, and public events. At the core of all its activities and programs is Bengal Institute's commitment to envisioning a future for our environment and habitats. The critical challenge of our time is, and will be, how we organize our larger environment, how we plan our cities and settlements, and how we prepare for the next fifty to hundredyears. At the heart of all this is how we recognize our rivers. I am constantly reminded of the words and observations of Prof. Abdur Razzaq, my uncle and mentor, “to visualize an exultant future for Bangladesh, one must not only consider the land and its people, but also its rivers.” Bengal Institute has already produced significant large-scale design thinking, including ideas for civic and public spaces for Dhaka, initial research for a regional plan for Dhaka, prospects for a rail corridor between Khilkhet and Dhanmondi, and a townscape design for Sylhet, amongst others. Some of these ideas have been presented for public viewing. Our exhibition entitled “Next Dhaka,” installed at the Bengal Classical Music Festival 2016, highlighted ideas for Dhaka and was viewed by over 100,000 people. Through these works, our intention is to share, with both policy-makers and the people, the potentials of good and thoughtful design. Our work emerges from a social responsibility, a deep commitment to contributing to an enlightened future for the country. To bring about real and effective changes to the future, I believe we should work towards creating an outline for a hundred year physical plan. At the Institute, we have taken the first steps towards reaching that goal. We are also collaborating with reputed design and planning institutes such as MIT, Harvard, Vastushilpa Foundation, BRAC University and others, in order to produce the finest collaborative output. The academic program of the Institute is flourishing with participation by many professionals from architecture and other disciplines. Through these seminars; workshops; and international symposiums, conducted by nationally and internationally renowned architects and academicians; the academic program has established new norms in the discussion of architecture, landscape thinking and urban design. Abul Khair (2016) Chairman, Executive Board, Bengal Institute for Architecture, Landscapes and Settlements LAND, WATER AND SETTLEMENTS “Dhaka is the toughest city in the world.” “Bangladesh is symptomatic of the gravest environmental challenges.” It is in the neighborhood of such pronouncements that we find necessary to rethink the scope of environmental design, and its pedagogy and practices. With its aquatic-geological formation – in flux – and projected consequences of environmental changes, the organization of land, water and settlements takes on an urgency that is unique to Bangladesh. Settlements patterns, architectural types, and socio-economic life-world, that are dynamically inter-connected, confront new conditions raised by accelerated economic, environmental and social transformations. In such anxious times, the architectural agenda needs to go beyond problem solving and form creation. At the Bengal Institute, we think that the architectural task should extend its sights to the intellectual, ethical and creative issues facing the futures of human habitats. In this regard, a new “architectural intelligence” is needed that is more about “place-form” rather than spectacular objects. The question of systemic and integrated “landscapes,” whether as habitats or place-forms, agricultural fabrics, or natural wetlands, should be at the core of this new approach. Developing this design intelligence requires a new kind of knowledge base, training and orientation that will uncover the original intimacy between architecture, habitation and landscape. Bengal Institute promises unique learning programs by bringing outstanding thinkers and practitioners to a common stage in Dhaka. Programs will offer opportunities to both fresh and established professionals, and young faculty, in developing their interests and imaginations, as well as their obligations to the new environmental tasks.

What [the human] thrives on is what we need, how landscape and water structure urbanism, and our job is to re-edit this existing environment. The variation between nature in the city landscape and urbanism have always been intertwined from a complementary couple to an antagonistic duo. It essential to understand the transformation of territories as it is continually evolving because in our anthropocentric age, the speed and scale of change is only accelerating. For me what's very interesting is always to look back at the kind of cartography of hydrology back in history to trace ancient waters in order to learn lessons for today. - Kelly Shannon (2016) A building must have dialogue with others, as well as yourself. It is like a living being...like an extension to your own life. Architecture is one of the ingredients of life and I think that ingredient must become as living as life itself. I realized that the culture is a holistic thing and if we are not brave enough to think about all types of communities or kinds of clients… that may not be the right thing. There are many ways to really think about architecture - as social activism, as creating institutions and buildings, and as an exploration of space or light. But it is also possible to merge all these ideas together. - Balkrishna Doshi (2016) We live in resonance with our world, and architecture mediates and maintains that very resonance. You are the co-author of every book you read because your mind imagines those literary images. Contemporary

  • A Study of Bangladesh in the Global Context 1. Digital Percept
    DIGITAL PERCEPTION, DEVELOPMENT AND PRESENTATION IN ARCHITECTURE: A Study of Bangladesh in the Global Context A. Q. M. ABDULLAH, MD. EMRAN HOSSAIN Department of Architecture BRAC University 66, Mohakhali C/A Dhaka 1212, Bangladesh. [email protected] [email protected] AND MD. SHABAB HABIB KHAN Vitti Sthapati Brinda Ltd. Dhaka, Bangladesh. [email protected] Abstract. In the recent past the computer has become an important tool both in the design and presentation media/method in architecture. In this paper digitalization in architectural practice and architectural education in both the global and Bangladesh contexts have been studied. A survey questionnaire was carried out to find how and to what extent available software are being used in Bangladesh for this purpose. Opinion, views, expectations of architects from leading architectural firms of Bangladesh were studied to understand the future prospect of this field in Bangladesh. 1. Digital Perception Architecture, one of the oldest crossroads of arts and science, has been using information processing devices for centuries. These devices were sometimes in the form of measuring and drafting tools, sometimes in the form of wooden and paper models and, most recently, in the form of computers. The technology that has set the architects free to think extensively and broaden communication between themselves and the client community is not very old practice. Workstations (computer) are very recent equipment in architectural firms. Architecture has become a database containing information about the inhabitants, providing space quality according to the choice of the occupant. Michael Benedikt sees the distinctive achievement of the computer age as the marriage of digital design and physical presentation (Aaron, 1997).

Das ab- wechslungsreiche Programm 2018 des S AM Schwei- zerisches Architekturmuseum stiess auf grosses Interesse und Anklang. Insgesamt haben 34’424 Personen letztes Jahr das S AM besucht. Im ersten Halbjahr konnte in ‹Bengal Stream. The Vibrant Architecture Scene of Bangladesh› eine neue Welt entdeckt werden: Als erstes Museum weltweit widmete sich das S AM der Architektur Bangladeschs. ‹Bengal Stream› wurde von den Besuchern, den Fach- kreisen sowie den Medien derart gut aufgenommen, dass das S AM die Ausstellung bis Ende Juni 2018 verlängert hat. Danach folgte im Sommer 2018 ‹Portrait of a Landscape› von Pierre-Philippe Hofmann. Der bel- gisch-schweizerische Künstler hat die Schweiz entlang von zehn Achsen wandernd durchquert – von den äussersten Grenzen bis zum geografischen Mittelpunkt: der Älggialp im Kanton Obwalden. Unterwegs hat Hofmann unzählige Aufnahmen an- gefertigt, aus denen sich ein gigantisches Panorama des Landes ergab. Das Museum setzte mit dieser Ausstellung seine Schweiz-Recherche fort, die es mit der Schau ‹Schweizweit› begonnen hat. Nach der Vermittlung eines architektonischen Porträts der Schweiz im 2016, wurde 2018 ein territoriales Porträt der Schweiz freigelegt. Im Herbst 2018 stand dann ‹Transform› auf dem Programm. Das S AM nahm sich damit dem Thema Umbauen an. Heute schrumpft die Halbwertszeit von Gebäuden rapide. Ändert sich ihre Funktion, werden sie oft einfach ersetzt. Doch die Kritik an dieser räumlichen Wegwerfkultur wächst.

With a core focus on Bangladesh, DAS re-examines how we think about these forms of art in both a regional and an international context. Founded in 2012 by the Samdani Art Foundation, DAS is held every two years in a public- private partnership with the Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, with the support of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs and Ministry of Information of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, the National Tourism Board, Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), and in association with the Bangladesh National Museum. Rejecting the traditional biennale format to create a more generative space for art and exchange, DAS’s interdisciplinary programme concentrates its endeavours towards the advancement and promotion of South Asia’s contemporary and historic creative communities.

  • Modern Architecture and the Excavation of the Past William J. R
    Modern Architecture And the excAvAtion of the PAst: Louis KAhn And the indiAn sub-continent This is the paradox: how to become modern and return Modern Architecture to sources: how to revive an old dormant civilization and take part in universal civilization. and the Excavation Paul Ricoeur1 of the Past As the work of Louis Kahn recedes into history its long-term implications for world architecture become ever more evident. Much has been written about his monumentality, his metaphysics, his ideas of construction, and his debts to classical antiquity. William J. R. Curtis The same is true of his beaux-arts formation, his obsession with ruins, and his interest in the geometrical structures of nature. Several later schools of thought have tried to “claim” Kahn as their chief mentor, from post-modernists to minimalists, but his architecture escapes these easy categories, as it touches much deeper, not to say archetypal, levels in experience. At times he even transcended the limits of Western architectural discourse, as when giving shape to the social and political aspirations of nations newly liberated from imperialism on the Indian sub-con- tinent. With both the National Assembly Complex in Dacca, East Pakistan (now Dhaka, Bangladesh (1962-1983)), and the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad (1962-1974), Kahn penetrated the substructures of the past and transformed them through his usual abstraction into resonant emblems of mo- dernity. To later architects seeking touchstones in tradition and preoccupied with questions of post-colonial identity, his solu- tions revealed new ways of synthesizing the new and the old, the local and the universal.2 It is impossible to understand Kahn’s Assembly in Dacca separately from the processes of nation-building.
