  • Does Architecture Define a "New" Bangladesh?
    Home Supplements 27th Anniversary Supplements Rethinking urban spaces 12:00 AM, February 22, 2018 / LAST MODIFIED: 04:26 PM, March 01, 2018 Does architecture define a "new" Bangladesh? From left to right: Ahsan Manzil, Institute of Fine Arts (DU), Jatiyo Shangshad Bhaban, and Bait Ur Rauf Jame Masjid. Illustration: Nuzhat Shama Adnan Morshed The architectural scene in Bangladesh has been thriving with a “new” energy over the past two decades or so. Bangladeshi architects have been experimenting with form, material, aesthetics, and, most importantly, the idea of how architecture relates to history, society, and the land. Their various experiments bring to the fore a collective feeling that something has been going on in this crowded South Asian country. One is not quite sure about what drives this restless energy! Is it the growing economy? The rise of a new middle class with deeper pockets? Is it an aesthetic expression of a society in transition? Is it aesthetics meeting the politics of development? Whatever it is, an engaged observer may call this an open-ended search for some kind of “local” modernity. Two recent projects—Bait Ur Rouf Mosque on the outskirts of Dhaka and the Friendship Center in the northern city of Gaibandha—have won one of global architecture's most coveted design awards, the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, in the 2014–16 award cycle. Bangladeshi architects have been winning architectural accolades from around the world for a variety of architectural projects. High-profile national architectural competitions have created a new type of design entrepreneurship, yielding intriguing edifices. Architects have also been expanding the notion of architectural practice by engaging with low-income communities and producing cost-effective shelters for the disenfranchised.

The Steering Committee in turn selects a Master Jury that chooses the Award winners from a series of several hundred nominations that come from a broad network of architects and other interested parties. Both the Steering Com- mittee and the Master Jury have been marked by the presence of such internationally recognized architects as Hassan Fathy, Charles Correa, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Fumihiko Maki, Jacques Herzog, Glenn Murcutt, Ricardo Legoretta and Farshid Moussavi. More unusual, however, has been the continued and significant presence of philosophers, sociologists, academics or artists, whether from the Muslim world or not. The Award “seeks to identify and encourage building concepts that successfully address the needs and aspirations of societies in which Muslims have a significant presence.”1 The Aga Khan Award for Architecture differs from other prizes in many respects, one being that buildings must be visited by experts before being considered by the Jury.

  • The Modernist of Dhaka
    perspective ARCHITECTURE THE MODERNIST OF DHAKA The evolution of modernist architecture in Bangladesh is a journey marked by 60 years and a series of revolutionary architects, including its most recent proponent: Kashef Mahboob Chowdhury WRITER MICHAEL SNYDER (From this picture) DECADENCE IN DHAKA The pool atop the EHL Premium Condominium, the “most expensive apartment building in Dhaka”, looks out over the Bangladeshi capital. Architect Kashef Mahboob Chowdhury, who designed the luxurious building. PHOTO: KASHEF CHOWDHURY KASHEF PHOTO: rom the fl at, straight country road that heads from the northern Bangladeshi town of Gaibandha to the banks of the Jamuna river, the Friendship Centre looks like little more than a mound of grass F and a volume of red brick looking over the low-lying rice paddies across the way. Standing atop that mound (really a 10-foot-tall embankment), you’ll have an entirely different view: a series of red brick pavilions and courtyards capped with fl at, grassy rooftops that, from here, look subterranean, literally unearthed. “Buddhist monasteries are all around this place from the seventh, eighth, ninth centuries—all in brick, all in ruins,” says Kashef Mahboob Chowdhury, the Dhaka-based architect whose fi rm, Urbana, designed and built the two-acre project for a miniscule budget of just Tk4 crore. Those monasteries are a clear point of reference for the Centre, built in 2010 as a training facility for an NGO called Friendship, but the impulse to dig, to excavate a contemporary architecture from the earth, is as essential to Bangladesh’s rich modernist history as the establishment of Chandigarh— and its planned development—has been to India’s.

An exhibition by the S AM Swiss Architecture Museum, produced in collaboration with the Bengal Institute for Architecture, Landscapes and Settlements, Dhaka. Curated by Niklaus Graber, Andreas Ruby and Viviane Ehrensberger. Only a few of us are likely to be familiar with current architectural developments in Bangladesh‘s tropical delta region. This area, blessed with cultural and scenic riches, has so far barely been present on the architectural world map, but that may change in the near future, due to excellent works emerging from a vibrant architecture movement.
