A person from a cold climate, who is used to be protected from nature, is instantly drawn to a tropical island where indoors cannot be separated from the outdoors “picture window” where nature is enjoyed like a picture from the protected comfort of the warm indoors Is it because for thousands of years we the human race have evolved in nature? Our intimacy with nature has been for too long a period to be ignored or disassociated. DESIRE TO BE WITH PEOPLE PREFERENCE FOR HANDMADE PRODUCTS & LOCAL MATERIALS We notice amongst people, irrespective of our geographical location, a general visual and tactile bias towards products where we can feel a human touch. Whether the product is an item of clothing; furniture; a household item we use every day or something we put in our homes to satisfy our aesthetic desires, we put more value on products that have a human behind its creation. All forms of Art are valued the most. Art, thankfully till now, cannot be factory produced.

  • 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.
