In Zeiten globaler Krisen sind auch in der Architektur neue Wege gefragt, welche klimatisch und gesellschaftlich nachhaltige Ansätze verfolgen. Das von Kashef Chowdhury / Urbana entworfene Friendship Hospital im südlichen Bangladesch darf diesbezüglich als pionierhaft gelten. Das Spital, welches 2022 mit dem RIBA International Prize ausgezeichnet wurde, bringt lebenswichtige Gesundheitsversorgung, aber auch Identität in eine von Wirbelstürmen heimgesuchte und infolge des Meeresspiegelanstiegs von Bodenversalzung betroffene Küstenregion. Die in lokalem Backstein gehaltene Architektur, welche das wertvolle Regenwasser sammelt und den Wind zur natürlichen Kühlung nutzt, setzt sich subtil mit spezifischen Eigenheiten im grössten Flussdelta der Erde auseinander, um gleichzeitig universelle architektonische Mittel wie Raum, Licht und Proportionen zum Wohlbefinden der Patientinnen und Patienten sowie ihrer Angehörigen einzusetzen. Eine profund aus der Geografie und der Geschichte des lokalen Kontexts entwickelte architektonische Denkweise erlangt in diesem Werk globale Relevanz. Das Buch, welches u. a. einen Fotoessay von Hélène Binet umfasst, gibt mittels Plänen, Diagrammen, Modellfotos und Skizzen Einblicke in den Entwurfs- und Bauprozess in einer von der Klimakrise am stärksten betroffenen Region der Erde. In times of global crises, architecture must also seek new sustainable approaches to climatic and social challenges. Designed by Kashef Chowdhury / Urbana, the Friendship Hospital in southern Bangladesh can be regarded as pioneering in this respect. The hospital, which was awarded the 2022 RIBA International Prize, provides life-saving healthcare, as well as enhancing the identity of a coastal region that has been devastated by cyclones and soil salinisation as a result of rising sea levels. Constructed in local brickwork, the architecture collects the valuable rainwater and uses the wind for natural cooling, while subtly interacting with specific characteristics of the world's largest river delta. It also applies universal architectural means such as space, light and proportions to ensure the well-being of patients and the people close to them. A profound architectural stance developed out of the geography and history of the local context makes this work globally relevant. This book, which includes a photo essay by Hélène Binet, presents plans, diagrams and model photos that offer insight into the design and construction process in one of the world's most climate-affected regions.

sweet picture book read
Format: Hardcover
I LOVE DAD WITH THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR is a sweet book of love, written from the perspective of a child to their father. The book uses imagery from other Eric Carle books alongside simple language to describe the connection between father and child, such as "Dad... You are easy to talk to... and you're fun to play with." Ellipses break up sentences across multiple pages, with animals that suit each phrase pictured as parent and child. What I loved: This is a cute and simple read that would be a great gift for a new father or father of a young child, as they can share it together. The short length of the book works well for infants and toddlers, as each page only has a few words. The illustrations are simple, borrowing from past Eric Carle books to maintain his style, and showing the animals most related to the text (for instance, on the page with "but you're still cool" it features polar bears) on a white background. This is a simple style that will work well for little ones. The very hungry caterpillar appears on each page, almost hidden and could make for a fun and easy search for toddlers. Final verdict: Overall, this is a sweet picture book that would make a great gift for new fathers or fathers with young children.

Daily devotional with ease.
Format: Imitation Leather
This is a great little devotional book for men. I bought two, one for me and one for my son. I keep mine at my desk at work and read it each morning and I enjoy the insightful quotes and verses that help me start my day. It truly only takes about a minute or two to read through everything and the verses are actually written out on the page with the reference. I know there are a lot of devotionals out there that you can select from, but I like this one because it’s small and compact and acutely directed towards men. The small size is perfect, the price is excellent, and the daily devotionals are spot on.

Easy and fun to read! Cute and small, easy to travel with
Format: Imitation Leather
I’m obsessed with this book. Each devotion really does only take a minute to read. It’s compact so I leave it in my truck but sometimes I’ll bring it in and keep it by my bed. There’s a book mark ribbon that keeps your place if you get off track of your days and you can’t remember where you left off. And I also like HOW the messages are explained. I grew up in church and I’m always like “hmm that makes sense now that it’s put that way!” lol

The Answer
Format: Imitation Leather
I purchased this book of Devotions as I was looking for a guide that would be simple to follow and compact. It seemed like I always was making excuses for not being as diligent with my faith. It was easy to tell my self that I could not keep up with God or travel with a guide as it was too inconvenient or bulky. From a content and simplicity to stay focussed, this was the source I needed. From a convenience standpoint, it could not be any better. I had tried apps and digital versions previously and it just wasn't the same. Holding a book and leafing through the pages just feels so much better to me. A definite must for those of you looking for a impactful, yet small and convenient way to continue the journey.
