The 2018 Archiprix Bangladesh Exhibition has marked its eighth day with numerous visitors rewarding the excellent projects designed by Bangladeshi architecture students which were submitted to archiprix.org between 2009 and 2017. The inaugural ceremony of the exhibition was held on Friday, 25 May 2018, at La Galerie, Alliance Française de Dhaka.

It has provided the audience an opportunity to experience the creation and production of architecture students of Bangladesh at a global stage since a selection of submissions from all over the world is also presented under the same light. The exhibition has been able to portray that perfect mix of creativity, enthusiasm and skill our students possess which, with careful grooming, could make a difference in our lifescape.

While the presence of prominent architects and academics graced the event, the success of this exhibition probably lies on its capacity to encourage our student community and building confidence among them. The praiseworthy curation also proved that once an effective enterprise is taken by the young community, it immediately receives aid and inspiration from community, business and most importantly institutional leaderships; a cooperation which is of invaluable importance. Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology and Archiprix International deserve a wholehearted appreciation for the initiative. We expect the think of this initiative to stick on their objective and create more opportunity of various formats for our students and young architects.
