DESCRIPTION:Niklaus Graber\, architect and curator\nNiklaus Graber is arch
 itect and co-curator of the exhibition ‘Faraway So Close – Kashef Chow
 dhury‘.\n\nNot too many of us are likely to be familiar with current arc
 hitectural developments in Bangladesh’s tropical delta region. This area
 \, blessed with cultural and scenic riches has so far barely been present 
 in the global architectural debate but that is about to change\, due to ex
 cellent works emerging from a vibrant architecture movement.\n\nBuildings 
 designed by architects like Kashef Chowdhury/URBANA for example are not ju
 st of a high interest in a spatial and architectural sense\, they also bea
 rs witness to the high societal relevance of architecture as a discipline.
  It is an architecture that thoughtfully and inventively addresses urgent 
 issues such as climate change\, water regime\, migration or the re-activat
 ion of rural areas.\n\nVia local action\, carefully developed from the cou
 ntry’s specific history and geography\, current trends in Bangladesh are
  taking on global significance that moves us closer to many themes which w
 ere once thought to be faraway.
