Embassy of the Republic of Turkey in Dhaka
“The original tropical climate was very different from what we were used to. We realized on the first visit that the dominant material in the streets and the region, and the cultural difference in spatial use would build the backbone of this architectural story. We contemplated and tried a lot to focus on the fact that the final structure should both belong to the region it is located, Bangladesh, and express the country it represents, the Republic of Turkey.”
