Kahn constructed between 1961 and 1982. Little is known, however, about the local architecture scene that has emerged since then. Yet contemporary architecture in Bangladesh exhibits a strong formal idiom that has its roots in tradition and is combined with an innovative handling of local resources such as bamboo and brick.00Exhibition: S AM Schweizerisches Architekturmuseum, Basel, Switzerland (02.12.2017 - 06.05.2018). edited by Niklaus Graber, Andreas Ruby and Viviane Ehrensberger ; photography, Iwan Baan ARC Architecture Exhibitions Bangladesh Architecture, Modern Exhibitions 20th century Architecture, Modern Exhibitions 21st century Architecture 720.92 9783856168438 Ayesha Abed Library BD-DhAAL 180419 20211121100018.0 33008
