Overview

Mohammad Foyez Ullah of Dhaka, Bangladesh, the founder of the award-winning architectural firm Volumezero, is a man who is at the pinnacle of the architectural profession in his own country. His architecture is recognizable for its pure, austere qualities and notable for its dignity and restraint. Volumezero is the largest architectural firm in Dhaka and continues the tradition of brick and concrete modernism brought to the country by Louis Kahn in the design of apartment buildings and residential compounds whose scale, intricacy, and fluidity respond to the realities of the city’s climate and culture. With great skill, they are able to translate the demands of the local environment into moments of beautifully articulated order in a chaotic urban environment of over twenty million people. Living in Dhaka explores how Foyez Ullah and his firm interact with the iconic city to produce stunning works of architecture.
