What began as a desire to help a city in need became an immersion in investigating its ebbs and flows, mapping its urban systems, and charting its development via annual visits. The result of this extended study is Alluvium: Dhaka, Bangladesh, in the Crossroads of Water, a cross-genre book that incorporates diverse media and layers of narrative and analysis to encourage new readings and perspectives. The book includes first-person narratives by architects and planners, documentary photographs, and maps and infographics that visually represent the intricate connections between people, water, land, and health in this delta megacity. The work proposes a new approach to understanding place that is interwoven with human interest--an intimate, collaborative, research-based model that holds relevance for both the developing and developed worlds. 0aCity planningzBangladeshzDhaka. 0aArchitecturezBangladeshzDhaka. 0aArchitecture and societyzBangladeshzDhaka. 7aArchitecture.2fast 7aArchitecture and society.2fast 7aBuildings.2fast 7aCity planning.2fast 0aDhaka (Bangladesh)xBuildings, structures, etc. 7aBangladeshzDhaka.2fast1 aTimberlake, James,d1952-eauthor.
