有远见的建筑, 在泥土和竹子中实现文化响应设计, and a catalyst for local farmers and master craftspeople to come together coalesced into a place where disability and diversity is celebrated. 高耸的屋顶线条, curving walls and ramp of Anandaloy proclaim empowerment and access, transforming locally sourced building materials in a structure that embodies inclusion and generates circular economies. Created out of the need to provide support and therapy for disabled villagers, the Anandaloy Building hosts a center for disabilities and Dipdii Textiles, a small fair trade textiles studio that sustains female tailors. 位于鲁德拉普尔乡村, Bangladesh, this project is one of the thirty examples of socially engaged work featured in 为共同利益而设计 (DCG) International Exhibition. 1月14日开幕，3月19日结束, 2022, at the Metropolitan State University of Denver’s 视觉艺术中心 (CVA), the 公益国际展览设计 showcases public interest design projects from six continents and twenty-two countries.
