Nasreen Hossain and Mahmudul Anwar Riyaad's 'Fifty Years of Architecture in Bangladesh' commemorates five decades of formal architectural education in the country, a milestone marked by the Department of Architecture at BUET. The book showcases fifty significant architectural works created between 1962 and 2012, offering insight into the development of Bengali modernism. It highlights seven important projects by Muzharul Islam alongside fifty nationally and internationally recognized works by BUET alumni and a few expatriate architects.

The editors have carefully selected projects that illustrate the evolution of architectural trends over the years. The book also establishes a framework for understanding how architectural practice and pedagogy flourished in Bangladesh during this period. For students, professionals, and anyone interested in the built environment of Bangladesh, this volume serves as both a historical record and a source of inspiration.
