In Zeiten globaler Krisen sind auch in der Architektur neue Wege gefragt, welche klimatisch und gesellschaftlich nachhaltige Ansätze verfolgen. Das von Kashef Chowdhury / Urbana entworfene Friendship Hospital im südlichen Bangladesch darf diesbezüglich als pionierhaft gelten. Das Spital, welches 2022 mit dem RIBA International Prize ausgezeichnet wurde, bringt lebenswichtige Gesundheitsversorgung, aber auch Identität in eine von Wirbelstürmen heimgesuchte und infolge des Meeresspiegelanstiegs von Bodenversalzung betroffene Küstenregion. Die in lokalem Backstein gehaltene Architektur, welche das wertvolle Regenwasser sammelt und den Wind zur natürlichen Kühlung nutzt, setzt sich subtil mit spezifischen Eigenheiten im grössten Flussdelta der Erde auseinander, um gleichzeitig universelle architektonische Mittel wie Raum, Licht und Proportionen zum Wohlbefinden der Patientinnen und Patienten sowie ihrer Angehörigen einzusetzen. Eine profund aus der Geografie und der Geschichte des lokalen Kontexts entwickelte architektonische Denkweise erlangt in diesem Werk globale Relevanz. Das Buch, welches u. a. einen Fotoessay von Hélène Binet umfasst, gibt mittels Plänen, Diagrammen, Modellfotos und Skizzen Einblicke in den Entwurfs- und Bauprozess in einer von der Klimakrise am stärksten betroffenen Region der Erde. In times of global crises, architecture must also seek new sustainable approaches to climatic and social challenges. Designed by Kashef Chowdhury / Urbana, the Friendship Hospital in southern Bangladesh can be regarded as pioneering in this respect. The hospital, which was awarded the 2022 RIBA International Prize, provides life-saving healthcare, as well as enhancing the identity of a coastal region that has been devastated by cyclones and soil salinisation as a result of rising sea levels. Constructed in local brickwork, the architecture collects the valuable rainwater and uses the wind for natural cooling, while subtly interacting with specific characteristics of the world's largest river delta. It also applies universal architectural means such as space, light and proportions to ensure the well-being of patients and the people close to them. A profound architectural stance developed out of the geography and history of the local context makes this work globally relevant. This book, which includes a photo essay by Hélène Binet, presents plans, diagrams and model photos that offer insight into the design and construction process in one of the world's most climate-affected regions.

Comfortable casual shorts for summer wear.
Size: Large, Color: Dark Grey
The twill chino style looks a little nicer than basic athletic shorts, and the drawstring waist keeps them easy to wear.

Slightly shiny material with a non neutral khaki color
Size: Large, Color: Khaki
I ordered these for my husband as nice looking shorts that would be casual and comfy. The Large fit his 35" waist ok, a slightly baggy around the crotch. The material is lightweight and they are decent quality for the price. We were both not a fan of the slightly shiny sheen of the material and the khaki color is not a neutral khaki, it is more peach or coral undertoned. He was wearing a garment washed coral pink tone T-shirt when he tried these on and it clashed horribly. Might have looked better with a black or dark shirt but just not an easy khaki that goes with everything unfortunately. Because of the sheen and color he probably won't wear them and we will just donate.

Order larger than they suggest.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Do not listen to size suggestions. These are sized in China. Everything runs much smaller than what they are claiming. Amazons suggestions do not take this into account. They also don't feel like twill, maybe some kind of nylon woven like twill? Not sure.
