In response, Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum (born 1968) and her team have developed the Khudi Bari (small house): a low-cost structure that can be assembled, disassembled, transported and reassembled in another location by the inhabitants themselves.\u003cbr\u003eThis publication contains texts, photographs and illustrations of a Khudi Bari erected on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany, as an example of a concrete response to problems exacerbated by the climate crisis.\u003cbr\u003eSays Tabassum: \"Inspiration for this mobile house is rooted in the vernacular style of dwelling that can be found in Bangladesh. These structures are created in the manner of a flatpack system and are generally built along the majestic Padma, Jamuna and Meghna rivers. The houses have a wooden frame structure and corrugated metal facades and roofs, which can be dismantled and relocated in the aftermath of riverbank erosion and reassembled by their owners once they have found a new place to build.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Vitra Design Museum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51661145440530,"sku":"9783945852675","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_03f44a18-fd10-4744-92b1-b2f877233079.jpg?v=1760436428","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/khudi-bari-a-social-project-by-marina-tabassum-architects-and-its-journey-from-dhaka-to-weil-am-rhein-9783945852675","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
