Threading the Needle: Architecture of Care
How can architecture improve lives, empower people, sustain local skills, and build inclusive communities?
This display presents a pioneering project, the Anandaloy Centre for people with Disabilities and Dipdii Textiles Workshop in the village of Rudrapur, Bangladesh. Designed by award-winning architect Anna Heringer and completed in 2020, its story is told by the women of Dipdii Textiles through a series of exquisite embroideries that bring to life plans and elevations of the building.
Display structures were fabricated by BLOQS Create, an innovative London-based maker collective dedicated to circular production, renewable energy, and responsible sourcing.
Presented by the V&A/RIBA partnership in collaboration with Studio Anna Heringer for the London Festival of Architecture, 2025.
