A Dipshikha Bangladesh project in partnership with Shanti Bangladesch e.V. and the Carol Singers Campaign (PMK)

Architects: Anna Heringer, Eike Roswag
Concept/Design: Anna Heringer Mag.arch.
Technical planning: Eike Roswag Dipl.-Ing. Architekt BDA

Project goal: The philosophy of METI (Modern Education and Training Institute) is learning with joy. The teachers help the children to develop their own potential and to use it in a creative and responsible way. The building reflects these ideas in terms of materials, techniques and architectural design.

The aim of the project is to improve existing building techniques, to contribute to sustainability by utilising local potential and to strengthen regional identity.

We believe that architecture is more than shelter. It is intimately connected with the creation of identity and self-confidence. And this is the basis of development.
