BUET International Seminar 2012 logo (Abstract Submission Deadline Extended to 25th July)
The Department of Architecture in Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) is the first formal institution to impart Architectural education in Bangladesh. The creation of a new faculty of Architecture and Planning in BUET fifty years ago in 1962 was instrumental in filling a professional vacuum and it's opening had spurred significant changes in the development of the country. On the occasion of the celebration of '50 years of Architecture in Bangladesh' an International Seminar on 'Architecture: Education, Practice and Research' has been organized to mark the new direction that architecture has taken in Bangladesh with the starting of formal institutional education in Architecture at BUET.

As it is declared in the official call for papers document the purpose of the event is to provide a forum for architects, engineers, scientists and designers to share ideas on architectural design, innovation, science and technology through paper presentation and discussion. It aims to raise
questions on the interfaces between academia and practice, and between research and its application in Architecture. It will extend the scope to assess the past, present and future directions of education, practice and research in Architecture.

Originality in thinking and reporting of first hand ideas are expected. Submission of paper in architecture and related disciplines are invited from architects, engineers, artists, educationists, graduate students, theorists, and researchers. Interested authors may submit papers in all areas of architecture, related to education, practice and research. Please note that the seminar is inclusive and collaborative, aiming to forge links between diverse groups.

Time and Place:
02 - 04 February 2012
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET)
Dhaka, Bangladesh.

    I found an objectionable problem with the title of this event!
    They are calling this event as the celebration of '50 years of architecture in Bangladesh'. That 50 years starts from 1962's foundation of the department of architecture of BUET. What does it mean? There was no 'architecture' before 1962? So what Muzharul Islam did in 1953 was not architecture?! And what are those things built by Buddhist, Hindu and Muslim rulers built centuries ago? Those are not 'architecture' too?

    They could name it as '50 years of architectural education in Bangladesh' may be!
