In the face of global crises, architecture must embrace innovative sustainable solutions to address climate and social challenges. The Friendship Hospital in southern Bangladesh, designed by Kashef Chowdhury / Urbana, stands as a pioneering example in this regard. Recognized with the 2022 RIBA International Prize, the hospital not only offers life-saving healthcare but also plays a vital role in revitalizing a coastal region that has suffered from cyclones and soil salinization due to rising sea levels.
Built using local brickwork, the architecture harnesses valuable rainwater and utilizes the wind for natural cooling, while delicately engaging with the unique characteristics of the world's largest river delta. It also employs universal architectural principles such as space, light, and proportions to prioritize the well-being of patients and their loved ones.
A profound architectural stance emerges from the geography and history of the local context, making this work truly global in its relevance. This book, featuring a photo essay by Hélène Binet, showcases detailed plans, diagrams, and model photos that provide insight into the design and construction process in one of the most climate-affected regions.
