The Department of Architecture of the University of Asia Pacific (UAP) has arranged a two-week-long exhibition, titled Space-Sense: Art Invention, at a gallery in Lalmatia, Dhaka.
The inauguration was held on December 18 and the exhibition will continue till December 31, said a press release issued on Thursday.
The exhibition is open from 5pm to 8pm every day.
Space-Sense is a studio exercise by first-year students of architecture to find out the limits and scope for reading a given architectural space.
Artist Wakilur Rahman, curator and guest faculty of the department, is in charge of the exhibition.
An architectural space is inherently invisible, giving definition and credit to the activities it holds. If visual is denied or displaced, other senses take lead and spaces become free to embrace new reading. This is an initiative taken by the department to launch an exhibition outside the campus and let others know how an architectural space is created where students are offered to expose their creative ideas in respect of their limits and scope.
The inaugural event was graced by Prof Qumrul Ahsan, Vice Chancellor, UAP, while Prof Abu Sayeed M Ahmed, dean, School of Environmental Sciences and Design, was present, among others.
