🤔 It is interesting to notice that our Ruppur nuclear power plant, when fully operational will generate 2,400 MW power and costs 12 billion dollars. Whereas, one of the most ambitious engineering marvel of this century, the Palm Jumeirah artificial island of UAE, costs 12 billion dollars with 10,000 super luxury apartments, 1,500 villas and a number of high end hotels, which can accommodate more than 65,000 people, costs 12 billion dollar.
Wishing our dearest and respected beacon of light Wares Sir a very very happy birthday. May you continue enlighten us with your knowledge, intellect and wisdom. PC: Ar Bayejid
Since there is no share option in Saif Haque's Facebook post. I'm copying it here verbatim:
"Today is 102nd birthday of the great Bengali Master Architect Muzharul Islam (1923-2012) and it is surely a great occasion to share that the QUART Publishers of Switzerland has recently completed the monograph “Spaces of Belonging – The Architecture of Muzharul Islam” for worldwide distribution.
The monograph introduces a series of unique buildings to an international audience, highlighting the Bengali architect’s way of thinking and actions, as well as his engagement in cross-cultural dialogue. Contributions by authors from different hemispheres present multifaceted perspectives on Islam’s work, placing him within global interconnections.
Muzharul Islam has left behind an outstanding architectural legacy in Bangladesh, with a significance reaching far beyond the temporal and geographical horizons of its creation. Yet until now, his work has remained relatively unknown despite its relevance and singularity. The publication "Spaces hof Belonging - The Architecture of Muzharul Islam “ is understood as one of multiple other perspectives on a complex and multifaceted life’s work.
The image and the information on the book have been received from the Swiss architect Niklaus Graber."
Another milestone in the journey of our buildtech startup ARCHICONNECT in assisting BSRM with our intellectual and technical support in successful hosting of the two days event "Architecture: Where to Go" comprising of an architectural exhibition of student projects, seminar with presentations by local and international architects, stimulating panel discussions and recognition of the young talents and book fair on works of architects from home and abroad
