We are going to see a presentation by a group of students of level-4 term-2 of the University of Asia Pacific on tomorrow’s Discourse.
They studied on two apartment buildings of Dhaka city, Prioprangan at Poribagh by Architect Uttam Kumar Shaha and Kotibarsha at Dhanmondi by Vistaraa Architects. The multimedia presentation will show us different aspects of the apartments and some direct interview of the users of the apartments.
This presentation may be especially helpful for those who are working with apartments and housing projects. And the presentation may be an example of ‘what a true multimedia presentation can be’.

Follow up of the event (Muzharul Islam Master Class- 2006)

The Institute of Architects Bangladesh (IAB) jointly with the Department of Architecture, BU organized for the first time a five day “Muzharul Islam Master Class (MIMC) 2006” held from February 11-15, 2006. The Master Architect Muzharul Islam conducted this 5-day design studio with assistance from Professor Shamsul Wares, Professor Fuad H Mallick, Rafiq Azam, Uttam Kumar Saha and Nahas Ahmed Khalil. Muzharul Islam is the pioneer of modern architecture in Bangladesh. He is and has always been a source of inspiration for the younger generation of architects and students. The concept behind the master class is to create opportunity for architects to learn first hand from Ar. Islam’s approach to architecture and its role in the overall socio cultural context of the country. This was done through carrying out design exercises under his supervision. About 20 architect members of IAB participated in this five-day intensive studio. The participants at the end of the five-day program made presentations on their projects and there was a critique in presence of Ar. Islam. Participants were awarded certificates of completion for this studio program. Ms. Nesfun Nahar, Lecturer, Department of Architecture participated in the event.
