Synopsis "Rising Oceans & Spaces That Care: Complexities and Ideas Behind the Friendship Hospital by Kashef Chowdhury / Urbana in Bangladesh (in English)"
Fully illustrated with 146 images and illustrations and 26 plansWith articles by Kashef Chowdhury, Niklaus Graber and Tanja C. Vollmer / Gemma KoppenWith photos by Hélène BinetIn times of global crises, architecture must also seek new sustainable approaches to climatic and social challenges. Designed by Kashef Chowdhury / Urbana, the Friendship Hospital in southern Bangladesh can be regarded as pioneering in this respect. The hospital, which was awarded the 2022 RIBA International Prize, provides life-saving healthcare, as well as enhancing the identity of a coastal region that has been devastated by cyclones and soil salinisation as a result of rising sea levels. Constructed in local brickwork, the architecture collects the valuable rainwater and uses the wind for natural cooling, while subtly interacting with specific characteristics of the world's largest river delta. It also applies universal architectural means such as space, light and proportions to ensure the well-being of patients and the people close to them. A profound architectural stance developed out of the geography and history of the local context makes this work globally relevant. This book, which includes a photo essay by Hélène Binet, presents plans, diagrams and model photos that offer insight into the design and construction process in one of the world's most climate-affected regions.
