Shamsul Wares

Om boken

This pioneering monograph on Shamsul Wares, Bangladesh’s acclaimed architect and educator, demonstrates architecture as a reflection of the socio-cultural conditions of a country, as well as global modernity. Shamsul Wares is widely known in Bangladesh to be a fiercely passionate teacher who professes architecture as a philosophy of modernism, one that views the challenges of space-making through the lens of twentieth-century modernist experiments through abstraction, platonic clarity, and humanism.

Edited by Adnan Zillur Morshed with contributions from a diverse range of authors, this profusely illustrated book explains a cerebral architect’s design work with careful analysis and contextuality.
