Aga Khan Program Lecture: Meditations in Entropy

Since 1995, Dhaka-based architecture firm Kashef Chowdhury / URBANA has produced an astonishing collection of works of divergent scales, typologies, and contexts located in one of the most meteorologically challenging regions in the world. For this lecture Kashef Chowdhury will discuss some projects featured in the first full monograph of the practice: Meditations In Entropy. He will focus on works related to culture, history and climate change in Bangladesh, which are incisive, critical responses to varied issues and urgencies rooted in the belief that architecture must be a reflection of, and sympathetic to, increasingly fragile ecological conditions.
