Dhaka:Architect Rafiq Azam is presenting his latest exhibition, 'Threshold: Art and Architecture,' at Bengal Shilpalay, offering a deep dive into the intersection of nature, culture, and architecture over his 35-year career. The exhibition features an array of watercolours, architectural models, and material fragments, illustrating Azam's journey from aspiring watercolour artist to acclaimed architect.
According to United News of Bangladesh, the exhibition, curated by Tayeba Begum Lipi and Mahbubur Rahman, was inaugurated by artist Monirul Islam. It aims to redefine architecture as a form of social art, influenced by human needs, cultural identity, and environmental considerations.
Prominent projects showcased include the Aga Khan Academy in Dhaka, which earned recognition at the World Architecture Festival, and the Bangladesh Chancery Complex in Bhutan. The exhibition will be open to visitors until December 5 at Bengal Shilpalay.
