In Zeiten globaler Krisen sind auch in der Architektur neue Wege gefragt, welche klimatisch und gesellschaftlich nachhaltige Ansätze verfolgen. Das von Kashef Chowdhury / Urbana entworfene Friendship Hospital im südlichen Bangladesch darf diesbezüglich als pionierhaft gelten. Das Spital, welches 2022 mit dem RIBA International Prize ausgezeichnet wurde, bringt lebenswichtige Gesundheitsversorgung, aber auch Identität in eine von Wirbelstürmen heimgesuchte und infolge des Meeresspiegelanstiegs von Bodenversalzung betroffene Küstenregion. Die in lokalem Backstein gehaltene Architektur, welche das wertvolle Regenwasser sammelt und den Wind zur natürlichen Kühlung nutzt, setzt sich subtil mit spezifischen Eigenheiten im grössten Flussdelta der Erde auseinander, um gleichzeitig universelle architektonische Mittel wie Raum, Licht und Proportionen zum Wohlbefinden der Patientinnen und Patienten sowie ihrer Angehörigen einzusetzen. Eine profund aus der Geografie und der Geschichte des lokalen Kontexts entwickelte architektonische Denkweise erlangt in diesem Werk globale Relevanz. Das Buch, welches u. a. einen Fotoessay von Hélène Binet umfasst, gibt mittels Plänen, Diagrammen, Modellfotos und Skizzen Einblicke in den Entwurfs- und Bauprozess in einer von der Klimakrise am stärksten betroffenen Region der Erde. In times of global crises, architecture must also seek new sustainable approaches to climatic and social challenges. Designed by Kashef Chowdhury / Urbana, the Friendship Hospital in southern Bangladesh can be regarded as pioneering in this respect. The hospital, which was awarded the 2022 RIBA International Prize, provides life-saving healthcare, as well as enhancing the identity of a coastal region that has been devastated by cyclones and soil salinisation as a result of rising sea levels. Constructed in local brickwork, the architecture collects the valuable rainwater and uses the wind for natural cooling, while subtly interacting with specific characteristics of the world's largest river delta. It also applies universal architectural means such as space, light and proportions to ensure the well-being of patients and the people close to them. A profound architectural stance developed out of the geography and history of the local context makes this work globally relevant. This book, which includes a photo essay by Hélène Binet, presents plans, diagrams and model photos that offer insight into the design and construction process in one of the world's most climate-affected regions.

Great Value
I've been really happy with this watch. I like a bigger, "chunkier" watch, and I specifically did NOT want smart watch features. This is a great weekend and chores watch. I can beat it up, do work in it, and not worry about it. And surprisingly, it's been pretty bullet proof so far. Since I've worn a watch for almost my whole life, I barely notice when I have one on. And I am not precious about them at all. This watch has hit countless door frames, washed hundreds of dishes in hot water, scrapes against the wall, tools, yard equipment. It's been absolutely rock-steady and I haven't needed to adjust the time at all, other than for daylight savings. At the price, it's unbeatable.

Fantastic for the money
I use this watch at work, so about 40 hours a week I wear it. I work outside in a commonly rainy area, and it's not uncommon for the watch to get wet. I've had it for a couple months or so now, and it really works great! Honestly all of the complaints I have about it can be fixed solely by looking at the price. The viewing angle isn't fantastic - it's a $13 watch. It does lose a little bit of time (a second or two within a week, maybe) - it's a $13 watch. The band is a bit uncomfortable (though it does hold very well, and has lots of size options) - it's a $13 watch. Those are minor things. Here's the good stuff. -Super easy to read -Very easy to use and set -Multiple features -Is genuinely waterproof. I haven't held it underwater, or anything, but for what I would consider 'average' use, it is perfectly waterproof. -Has an adjustable band that doesn't fall off -Fairly tough. I don't treat mine very well and it's held up perfectly fine so far. -It's cheap!

Cheap Gshock replacement, good value
For $13 this is a steal. It's essentially a casio illuminator w larger bright dial, press once for 5 sec of light then goes dark. Date, time (12 and 24hr), stop watch. The basics, all I needed. A+ Edit: updated the waterproofing is non-existent. It's not even water resistant so treat accordingly don't bring into the shower. The face plastic cracked on me from moderate use, still legible and since I don't test it with water not an issue. The buttons are very sensitive so activities like lifting can cause the bottom left button to depress and switch to stopwatch, or engage the stopwatch. After over a year use I still rank this as a good value. It does the one thing I wish Casio would do is improve light illumination time. The buttons depress easier than Casio's which is a bonus imo, but can be aggravating to some. The water resistance doesn't exist so purchase accordingly.
