The Arcadia Education Project in South Kanarchor of Bangladesh is one of the winners of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture (AKAA). The project involved the construction of a school in an area that is under water during the monsoon months. The architect of the project Saif Ul Haque designed a school which remains on the ground during dry season and floats when the area is submerged in water during monsoon. AKAA, in its citation, lauded the project for its contribution to improve people's lives, social and economic development, access to education in rural communities and global issues like rising water levels.
