DR/EDGE

2019 Unbuilt Architecture and Design

Citation

Project name: DR/EDGE

Project location: Dhaka, Bangladesh

Firm name: HKS

Jury comments: A low-tech design solution for cleansing the Buriganga River in Bangladesh also supports the brick manufacturing industry. By creating a system involving clever silt dams that make the most of the seasonal flow of the river, trapped garbage is harvested to generate energy while silt is reclaimed to make bricks.
