A Glass Labyrinth in Venice

A Glass Labyrinth in Venice by Robert McCarter explores the work of architect Kashef Chowdhury and his installation at the 2016 International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale. The labyrinth, designed with sensitivity to local circumstances and building users, challenges spatial perceptions through its transparency. This book presents the installation in beautiful photographs and an illuminating text by Robert McCarter. The Glass Labyrinth is a thought-provoking work that reflects the anxieties and uncertainties faced by architects operating in challenging environments. By presenting Chowdhury's project in detail, this book offers insights into the design process, construction, and maintenance of buildings in Bangladesh. The result is a nuanced exploration of the complexities involved in creating spaces that respond to their users. With photographs by Eric Chenal and an insightful text, A Glass Labyrinth in Venice provides a unique perspective on the intersection of architecture, space, and human experience.
