• Bangladesh is a country considerably rich in archaeological wealth, especially from the medieval
period( 5th to the 15th century )  both during the Muslim and pre-Muslim rules .

• The earlier history of Bangladesh reveals that Buddhism received royal patronage from some
important ruling dynasties like the great Pala rulers (8th to the 12th century) the Chandra’s and the
Deva Kings. Under their royal patronage numerous well-organized, self-contained monasteries
sprang up all over the country. 

• At present ,there is 477 archaeology sites are excavated.

Médiathèque Carré d'Art Nimes
• The Carré d'art at Nîmes in southern France houses a museum of
contemporary art and the city's municipal library.

• Constructed of glass, concrete and steel, it faces the Maison Carrée,

a perfectly preserved Roman temple that dates from the 1st century BC .

• The building was constructed as part of a project to refurbish the square in

which the Maison Carrée stands, and
provide a new setting for the ancient temple.

• The building is a nine-storey structure, half of which is sunk deep into the
ground, keeping the building's profile low in
sympathy with the scale of the surrounding buildings .

• The lower levels house archive storage and a cinema.

a whimsical eye that relies on what it wants to see, rather than on
what it actually sees. For this reason, the small box, though dense
and hermetic on the outside, must be suggestive and magical on
the inside. The space within can be neither a mere organizing
element, nor a beautiful but distant architecture; it must have the
ability to evoke places and people from a tiny yet resilient
fragment of ceramic which has managed to survive, and which
speaks of the fragility of time.
In the permanent exhibition halls, all horizontal surfaces
are dark, the wood floors are almost black, and the
continuous ceilings black. This box evokes the passage of
time, concentrated in the layers of earth that little by little

spaces are traversed by white glazed prisms – round which
the exhibition of pieces is organized – that shall draw
light in from the roof at daytime, and shall be inlaid with
graphics and information to describe the items, evoking
the adventure of interpretation.

The building adjoins the Palace of Bendaña, currently the museum of Naipes
Fournier. Access to the building is through the same courtyard that leads to the
Palace, allowing to grasp the full scope of the project. Aiming to extend the
surfaces of the courtyard and thereby upgrade the access area, the proposal
does not take up the whole surface available, only a narrow strip built as an
appendix perpendicular to the main building and whose purpose, aside from
housing auxiliary programs, is to offer a more attractive access façade than
that represented by the current party walls of the neighboring constructions.
Because of the slope of the terrain, the courtyard is reached through a bridge
over a garden that lets light into the lower areas, which would otherwise have
no natural illumination on this side.

TEMPERED CURVED GLASS MIRROR
Tempered glass mirrors resist breakage and provide a
measure of safety from broken glass, but differ in color and
reflective quality from standard glass mirrors.
• Anti-reflective coating (also called "AR coating" or "anti-
glare coating") improves vision, reduces eye strain and makes
your eyeglasses look more attractive. These benefits are due
to the ability of AR coating to virtually eliminate reflections
from the front and back surfaces of your eyeglass lenses.
Does Museum glass have a glare?
In addition, Museum Glass and Optium Museum Acrylic have a very special
anti-reflective coating far superior to a typical, frosted, non-glare glass. This
special coating is applied in extremely thin layers to break up the incoming
light rays so they don't bounce back off the glass or acrylic, producing a glar
How does anti reflective glass work?
This is light that hits the back of the lenses and bounces into the
eyes. The purpose of an anti-reflective (AR) coating is to reduce
these reflections off the lenses. ... AR coatings are also applied
to the front of prescription eyewear and some sunglasses to
eliminate the "hot spot" glare that reflects off the lens.
Is anti reflective the same as anti glare?
In general terms anti-glare coatings use either diffuse particles or etching on the
substrate's surface, while anti-reflective coatings utilize film structure over the
substrate surface. ... There are however instances where both solutions can be
used in conjunction for maximum reflection/glare reduction
Two-way or See-through Mirrors 
•1/8 " or 1/4" Mirror-Grade Acrylic coated with a 2-way
Mirror Finish.
•Looks like a Mirror from the lighted side and a Window
from the side with little or no light.
•Surveillance for a Show Room or Store from an Office.
•Hide a Camera to Monitor Store Activity.
•Used in Many Non-Security Related Crafts (see more uses
below).
•Available in several Standard Sizes: Please use the drop-
down boxes below to see the available sizes and pricing.
•Less expensive 1/8: thick for up to 24" x 48" areas and 1/4"
for larger sizes windows. Note: Because acrylic is flexible, we
recommend the 1/4" for larger mirror sizes.
