About The talk:
Md. Rafiq Azam’s architecture is a fusion of tradition, nature, and mysticism with significant harmony. The use of plants and roof gardens, blending various materials with simplicity in expression, reviving traditional elements from old Dhaka, for example, elimination of boundary walls that segregate humans from buildings are distinctive features of his designs. Tiny elements of nature are adorned in his building with poetic beauty and HOUSE to him is not just an abode for humans but a nest for butterflies and birds too. Rafiq’s mastery in using light and shadow, water, and air inside and outside the building is influenced by such mysticism as cited by Lalon and Tagore. His green architecture is not a mere mechanism of energy saving rather it seems like an inspiring process of energy gaining.
