In November 2019, SustainTrans researcher Giles Thomson joined a small group from Färgfabriken in Dhaka, Bangladesh, to be a member of their New Urban Typologies program in collaboration with Bengal Institute of Architecture, Landscape and Settlements. Giles gave a give a public lecture and participated in three days of field trips and workshops as part of an investigation into the rural and urban aspects of the sprawling landscape in and around Dhaka. The outputs from this collaboration will inform the symbiosis exhibition to be held at Färgfabriken in late 2021. More information on the New Urban Typologies program can be found at this link:
