Vortrag von Khondaker Hasibul Kabir: Co-creating space
19 Uhr
Vortragsreihe im Rahmen der Ausstellung «Bengal Stream».
Die Veranstaltung findet auf Englisch statt!
If the architects of Bangladesh want to take architectural services to all, how can they reach the other 90% population of the country? Through the traditional architectural education and practice architects are hopelessly failing to reach there.
“We” need to find a new process to address the issue. We need to work with two “invisible” yet important communities – (1. Spontaneous human communities and 2. Spontaneous nature communities) to find our ways towards a sustainable future. It has to be co-creation process where everything/everyone has a role to play. As part of nature we can learn how nature co-creates and scale-up. It is a decentralized, nonhierarchical and organic process where there is only beginnings. However it grows/transforms with unending possibilities in its own rhythm. It’s an organic system that takes time to connect with all of its parts. Once it is connected with all of its parts it flourishes very fast keeping the balance of the system and with other systems. We need to take architecture as part of this system.
The lecture intends to highlight the importance of co-creation in space making process with low-income communities in rural and urban areas of Bangladesh.
