Country Boats of Bangladesh

Traditional Boat Building is an oral tradition, the oldest craft of Bangladesh, not being taught to young carpenter. In the light of this thought, we came up to partner with GTZ and Mr Yves Marre, the person who actually trailed this lost tradition for years. A seminar and exhibition were held, and a yearly calendar came out featuring all those extinct traditional boats, design thoughts behind them and sketches of each.
