Paperback. Condición: New. Over the past years, Dhaka-based architect Kashef Chowdhury has become renowned for a body of work that responds with great sensitivity to places, local circumstances, and the demands of a building's users. At the 2016 International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, Chowdhury presented four recent projects his firm URBANA has realised in Bangladesh in a fascinating exhibition which he has designed with equal sensitivity and care.The labyrinth is an age-old space of intrigue, discovery and accident, which has fascinated architects throughout history. For his installation in Venice, Chowdhury challenged spatial perceptions by a simple turn: the labyrinth - which hides and blocks - is suddenly made transparent. Notwithstanding the obvious reference to Venetian glass, the labyrinth retains, or even accentuates, a sense of spatial disorientation.The installation was conceived not merely as a hyper-maze but rather as an expression of the anxiety that the artist experiences in his work due to a myriad of uncertainties. From design to construction, funding to maintenance, the part of the world where URBANA chiefly works presents itself with challenges at every turn, and it is in this milieu that an architect must operate with firm resolve. Chowdhury's Glass Labyrinth in Venice seems to explicate the notion that, although an architect has a clear vision of what he wants to do, the path to achieving that in the environment in which he operates, is laden with perplexing barriers. This new book explores and documents Kashef Chowdhury's intriguing installation in Venice with beautiful photographs by Eric Chenal and an illuminating text by Robert McCarter.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Kashef Chowdhury hat sich mit seinem Büro URBANA in den letzten Jahren weit über Südasien hinaus einen hervorragenden Ruf als Architekt erworben, der äusserst sensibel auf Orte, Gegebenheiten und Bedürfnisse der Nutzer reagiert. Im Rahmen der Architekturausstellung 2016 der Biennale Venedig hat Chowdhury vier Projekte von URBANA in Bangladesh in einer faszinierenden Installation präsentiert, die dieses neue Buch dokumentiert. Labyrinthe haben Menschen - und insbesondere Architekten - seit jeher fasziniert als Räume der Überraschung, der Entdeckung und des Zufalls. Chowdhurys venezianische Ausstellungsinstallation stellt die Raumwahrnehmung des Labyrinths, das naturgemäss verbirgt und versperrt, durch einen simplen Trick infrage: Er macht es vollkommen transparent, wobei die räumliche Desorientierung des Besuchers erhalten, wenn nicht gar verstärkt wird. Das Konzept versinnbildlicht den Zustand des Architekten angesichts aller Ungewissheiten seiner Tätigkeit. Insbesondere in seiner Heimat ist Chowdhury gezwungen, mit Entschlossenheit zwischen zahllosen Herausforderungen auf allen Ebenen zu arbeiten. Die Installation verdeutlicht somit auch all die verblüffenden Hindernisse, denen er sich, trotz klarer Vision seines Projekts, auf dem Weg zur Realisierung gegenübersieht.…
