BOAT CLUB
Boats, boat-building and traditions surrounding water-based communications have always been rich in Bangladesh. This is because of the geography of the country, which is part of the biggest deltaic plain in the world, sheltering the most densely populated nation. About 60% of Bangladesh is covered in a vast river system. Waterways and boats are thus understandably an integral part of the country`s communication system. While sea vessels from the Bay of Bengal adopted exotic styles due to the influences of foreign traders, the wooden boats of the inland waterways developed their shapes and forms free from foreign influences into more than 50 different types. These river boats were built using skills and technologies that have been passed down orally by boat-builders from generation to generation.
Here we used plastic wood, particle board and various local materials to developed this hand made model to face the final jury.
