Two Bangladeshi architectural projects have been included in the shortlist of 20 projects prepared for 2019 Aga Khan Award for Architecture. These two projects are- Arcadia Education Project in South Kanarchor and Amber Denim Loom Shed in Gazipur. Arcadia Education Project, in South Kanarchor, a modular amphibious structure – incorporating space for a preschool, a hostel, a nursery and a vocational training centre – which is tied down on a riverine site that is often flooded for five months every year. Amber Denim Loom Shed, in Gazipur, a new design that combines traditional Bangladeshi residential architecture and contemporary elements in a large open space that accommodates machines, a buyers’ lounge, a dining space, a prayer area and washrooms.
