    a fertile alluvial
    land in the Gulf

    the land with
    the highest
    population
    density in the
    world.

    to communicate and develop
    knowledge and skills within
    the local population so that
    they can make the best
    possible use of their
    available resources.

    The soft interiors of theses


    spaces are for touching, for
    nestling up against, for
    retreating into for exploration
    or concentration, on one’s
    own or in a group.

    Concept and Design


    The building rests on a 50cm
    deep brick masonry
    foundation rendered with a
    facing cement plaster.

    The ‘cave’s are made of a


    straw-earth daub applied to a
    supporting structure of
    bamboo canes and plastered
    with a red earth plaster.

    Building and Construction


    The ceiling consists of three layers of bamboo poles arranged
    perpendicularly to one another with bamboo boarding and an
    earth filling as the surface of the floor.

    Building and Construction


    Hand-built in four months by architects, local craftsmen, pupils,
    parents and teachers. this primary school in rudrapur, a village in
    north west bangladesh,

    Efforts were made to engage the skills of local craftsmen, helping


    them refine processes and learn new techniques that they could then
    use to improve the general standard of rural housing.
