Paddles of the Past: Adaptive Reuse of Decommissioned River Vessels for the Ecological and Cultural Restoration of Dhaka

"From the heartbeat of Dhaka, the Buriganga has now become a symbol of its own neglect. The project 'Paddles of the Past' restores this past, transforming the derelict steamers and boats into living documents of riverside history and using their hulls to restore ecological balance. There is no waste anywhere: history turns into habitat and memory turns into monitoring, with the healing of a river forgotten until now beginning with each and every current."
