Khudi Bari a social project by Marina Tabassum Architects and its journey from Dhaka to Weil am Rhein

In Bangladesh, flooding is becoming more frequent as a result of climate change, forcing countless people to find new homes. In response, Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum and her team have developed the Khudi Bari – Little House: A low-cost structure that can be assembled, disassembled, transported,and reassembled in another location by the inhabitants themselves. A Khudi Bari has been erected on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein as an example of an architectural approach and a concrete response to problems exacerbated by the climate crisis. This accompanying publication contains texts, photographs and illustrations of the building, which forms an important part of the ongoing architectural dialogue on the campus.
