On occasion, an artist is not only from, but of, a place. Imbued
with the very spirit of a locale, and thus inspired to return the
favour. Such is the nature of the relationship between the
legendary architect Foyez Ullah, and Bangladesh' capital city,
Dhaka. Dhaka is a city rich with history; borne of eclecticism, and
her tremendous growth post-independence has been extraordinary,
both culturally and architecturally. From the early Mughal
architecture to the Indo-Saracenic style of the colonial era, to
the sheets of steel and glass that characterize a modern
metropolis, there's an aesthetic battle for the city's very soul
being waged. Dhaka is a city rich with history; borne of
eclecticism, and her tremendous growth postindependence has been
extraordinary, both culturally and architecturally. From the early
Mughal architecture to the Indo-Saracenic style of the colonial
era, to the sheets of steel and glass that characterize a modern
metropolis, there's an aesthetic battle for the city's very soul
being waged. Foyez Ullah has played an active role in this
conversation for nearly three decades, weaving a tapestry of work
within Dhaka's realm that declutters her chaotic whims and sets
revealing insight into contextspecific architectural response.
Through a series of his architectural benchmarks, as well as texts
from the architectural critics Vladimir Belogolovsky and Byron
Hawes, this volume posits a framework for responsive and contextual
architecture for Dhaka in the 21st century.
