LUCA is organising the exhibition "Faraway So Close" featuring the architectural works of Kashef Chowdhury / URBAN, from 25 March to 5 June 2020; the artist's works will be on display in the LUCA exhibition hall. The vernissage is planned for 24 March 2020 at 19:30: CANCELLED.
With this comprehensive monographic exhibition, curated by Niklaus Graber and Andreas Ruby, the Friendship Luxembourg NGO and LUCA will present the work of Kashef Chowdhury, an architect from Bangladesh who received the prestigious Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2016 for the "Friendship Centre" project on the flood plains of Gaibandha in northern Bangladesh. Careful arrangement of structures in areas marked by extreme climatic conditions, combined with local building techniques and materials, Kashef Chowdhury's buildings are exemplary of an architecture that serves society with radical simplicity and poetry. With an atmospheric installation, the exhibition invites visitors on a journey to Bangladesh and the architectural worlds of URBANA. Entry is free.
