ABSTRACTIONOF MONDRIAN’SPAINTING

PURE GEOMETRIC FORMS ARE PRESENT EVERYWHERE IN NATURE. THE ERA OF NEO PLASTICISM SHOWS US THE NEW WAY OF EXPRESSION OF SIMPLICITY. THIS IS THE STYLE WHICH IS THE SIMPLEST AND IDEAL FORM OF ART BY USING BASIC FORM AND COLOR. THE STYLE DEVELOPED AND CHARACTERIZED BY ARTIST PIET MONDRIAN. IF WE LOOK AT HIS PAINTING AND SYNTHESIZE THEM, STORY CAN BE FOUND AS HE TRIED TO DEPICT IN HIS PAINTING ANY SUBJECT OR OBJECT BY USING ITS SIMPLEST FORM TO CONVEY THE UNIVERSAL AND ABSOLUTE TRUTH. ARTIST USED STRAIGHT LINES [HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL], SQUARE AND RECTANGULAR FORMS, PURE COLORS WHICH HAD BEEN SYNCHRONIZED WITH EACH OTHER WITH TIMELESS BALANCE.

THE BASIC CONCEPT CAME FROM THE IDEA OF NEO PLASTICISM AND THE INTERPRETATION OF IT AS LAYERS OF LINES WHICH ARRANGED ORTHOGONALLY MAKING ENORMOUS GRID CONTAINS VOLUME. THE VARIOUS RECTANGULAR FORMS WHICH WERE CREATED BY THOSE LINES AND DEFINED SPACES ARE ARRANGED AT AN ANGLE OF 45 DEGREE WITH THE GRID.

THE GRIDS WHICH WERE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS, WERE ORTHOGONAL WITH EACH OTHER AND THE CIRCULATION ALSO KEPT ORTHOGONAL. THE EXHIBITION SPACES WERE ARRANGED ROTATING 45 DEGREE WITH RESPECT TO THE GRID.

PROJECT BRIEF_ THE PROJECT WAS PROPOSED ON AN IMAGINARY SITE WHICH WAS PRO VIDED BY STUDIO TUTORS. TOTAL LAND AREA WAS 88,875 SFT [2.04 ACRES] THE SITE WAS SITUATED BESIDE A NATURAL LAKE AT THE NORTH WITH A NATURAL LANDSCAPE IN DHAKA AT BANGLADESH. THE MAIN ACCESSIBLE ROAD OF THE SITE WAS FROM WEST STUDENTS WERE ASKED TO PROPOSE A MUSEUM TYPE IN TERMS OF ITS’ COLLECTIONS OR DISPLAY IT SHOULD BE A SCIENCE MUSEUM.

THE MAIN CHALLENGES WERE THE SITE ORIENTATION AND MULTI FUNCTIONALITY OF THE PROJECT AS IN BANGLADESH, THE WEST SUNLIGHT IS CONSIDERED AS THE MOST HEAT GAINING FACTOR AND THE SITE WAS EXPOSED TO THE WEST MOST, IT WAS A CHALLENGE TO TREAT THE FACADE OF THE MUSEUM CRITICALLY NOT COMPROMISING THE AESTHETIC QUALITY OF THE WEST FACADE. AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS ALSO IMPORTANT TO MAKE THE BUILDING INTERESTING TO THE VIEWER BY PROVIDING NEW AND SOMETHING UNCONVENTIONAL CHARACTER OF THE BUILDING.

THERE WERE OTHER FUNCTIONS ALSO LIKE AN AUDITORIUM FOR 500 PEOPLE, A SEMINAR ROOM, A CAFETERIA INCLUDING KITCHEN HAD TO INCORPORATE IN THE PROJECT

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY_ AS I PROPOSED TO DESIGN A MUSEUM FOR NATURAL SCIENCE, I FOCUSED ON BIRDS. THE CONCEPT DERIVED FROM WINGS OF BIRD. THE REPETITIVE PATTERN OF BIRD’S WING AND THE LIGHTNESS OF THE FEATHER ALLOWS AIR TO MAINTAIN THEIR BODY TEMPERATURE. THE REPETITIVE PATTERN OF THE FARE FACE WALL OF PROPOSED MUSEUM ALLOWS LIGHT AS WELL AS AIR IN SOME PORTION OF THE MUSEUM WHICH GIVES AN ABSTRACT MODERNIST IMPRESSION OF BIRD’S WING.

PRE-EXISTING TREES ARE OFTEN SEEN AS A LIMITATION TO ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN. THEY RESTRICT HOW BIG A BUILDING CAN BE; THEY CAN BLOCK A NICE VIEW, AND THEY CANNOT BE MOVED CHEAPLY. SOMETIMES, IT SEEMS MORE CONVENIENT TO CUT THEM DOWN ALTOGETHER. HOWEVER, SOME ARCHITECTURAL TYPES ARE SEEING OLD TREES AS A CHALLENGE TO BE EMBRACED RATHER THAN AN OBSTACLE TO BE RECKONED WITH. BY ATTEMPTING TO PRESERVE PRE-EXISTING TREES RATHER THAN TAKE THEM DOWN, DESIGNERS ARE FINDING THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE NOVEL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE NATURAL AND THE MAN-MADE. ONE RADICAL METHOD TO ACHIEVE THIS IS TO INTEGRATE TREES INTO THE VERY FABRIC OF THE NEW BUILDING. BEYOND PRESERVING SOME NATIVE FORESTRY, THIS CAN LEAD TO SOME SURPRISING EXPERIMENTATIONS, AS THE TREES ARE RECONTEXTUALIZED WITHIN THE HUMAN-BUILT ENVIRONMENT. THESE SIX BUILDINGS DON’T JUST PAY HOMAGE TO NEARBY TREES: THEY PUT FULL TRUST IN THEIR ABILITY TO REMAIN A HALLMARK OF THE LAND, ONLY WITH NEW NEIGHBORS TO COHABIT WITH. THESE TYPE DON’T JUST PAY HOMAGE TO NEARBY TREES: THEY PUT FULL TRUST IN THEIR ABILITY TO REMAIN A HALLMARK OF THE LAND, ONLY WITH NEW NEIGHBORS TO COHABIT WITH.

Isometric View Of Project

UNDERSTANDING THE INTENSE PLANNING AND THE CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENG OF THE ORIGINAL BUILDING, THIS TRANFORMATION APPROCHES TO MULTIPLY IN THE SAME LOCATION EXTENDING ITS ARMS THROUGH THE FOREST. THE PROJECT AIMS TO PROVIDE MULTIPLE HOUSING INA A NEWLY DESIGNED CASA LEVENE COMPLEX. IT WEAVE THROUGH THE FOREST AND CONSTRUCTED WITHOUT DAMAGING A SINGLE TREE, OR THE SOLO HOUSE II, AN OFF-GRID DWELLING THAT ALMOST DISSOLVES INTO THE LANDSCAPE. AN EBONIZED STEEL RAIN SCREEN BUILT OF THREE-INCH BY THREE-INCH ANGLES SPACED ONE INCH APART REPEATS THE TEXTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE BARK OF ADJACENT TREES. MATERIALITY AND FENESTRATION ARE ORDERED AS DARK LIGHT REVERSALS THAT REPEAT THE BEHAVIOR OF THE FOREST. A CONCEALED, DIRECTIONAL ENTRY BUILDS TIME INTO THE ARRIVAL SEQUENCE, EXTENDING AND CONNECTING THE EXPERIENCE TO THE ENVIRONMENT. MOVEMENT ALONG THE ROUTE TO THE ENTRY POINT, PARALLEL WITH THE FORM, ALLOWS ASSOCIATION WITH THE DWELLING PRIOR TO ENTERING. TRANSLUCENT ORANGE GLASS SCREENS BATHE THE ENTRANCE IN A COLOR THAT CONTRASTS WARM WITH THE TONE OF THE SURROUNDING EVERGREEN FOREST. OVERALL, THE TRANFORMATION CARRIES ALL THE ASPECTS AND FEATURES OF THE ORIGINAL LEVENE HOUSE AND SPEAKES THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS TOWARDS THE NATURE

THE MAIN IDEA OF THE STUDIO WAS TO UPCYCLE AVAILABLE TRASH FROM HOUSEHOLDS OR DAY-TO-DAY USED MATERIALS. AS A GROUP OF FOUR MEMBERS, WE TOOK PLASTIC SHOPPING BAGS OF EVERY KIND AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND THEIR’ MATERIAL PROPERTIES AND TRANSFORMATION AGAINST HEAT. WE DID SEVERAL EXPERIMENTS BY HEATING THE PLASTIC BAGS AT DIFFERENT CONTROLLED TEMPERATURES. WE MADE SEVERAL PROTOTYPES TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR A PLASTIC STRUCTURE OUT OF PLASTIC SHOPPING BAGS ONLY. WE FOUND THAT BY LAYERING BAGS AND HEATING SLOWLY AT 180-DEGREE TEMPERATURE THE PLASTIC BECOMES STRONG ENOUGH TO CARRY LOADS.

WE DEVELOPED A SYSTEM FOR THE SKIN OF THE STRUCTURE BY SEWING LAYERS OF PLASTIC BAGS TOGETHER. THEN WE CUT THEM INTO STRIPS AND WEAVE THEM IN A CONVENTIONAL WAY TO MAKE SURFACE. WE USED HEAT PRESS TO GLUE THE SURFACE WITH THE ALREADY-DEVELOPED STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS OUT OF PLASTIC BAGS AS WELL.

THE BASIC CONCEPT OF OUR PROJECT IS TO CREATE AN AREA IN WHICH THE STRUCTURE WE HAVE CREATED HAS A LEADING ROLE AND IS THEREFORE USED FOR DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS AND USERS. OUR BASIC STRUCTURE, A SEMI-SPHERE, CAN ACCOMMODATE VARIOUS FUNCTIONS WITH ITS’ DIFFERENT SIZES. FOR THE SAME MODULE, WE HAVE THOUGHT OF DIFFERENT SIZES FOR DIFFERENT USES. WE WANTED TO CREATE A SPACE THAT ALLOWS ADULTS TO EXPERIENCE THE SPHERE AS THEIR CHILDERN BUT IN A BIGGER SCALE.

PROJECT BRIEF_ INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED (IDCOL) WILL STAND OUT AS A LEADING PROJECT IN SUSTAINABLE DESIGN IN AN URBAN CONTEXT LIKE AGARGAON, DHAKA, BANGLADESH.

THE SITE WAS A VERY SMALL SITE [60’X120’] COMPARING WITH THE FUNCTIONS TO BE ACCOMMODATED. THE SITE ORIENTATION WAS EAST-WEST ELONGATED WHICH WILL MAKE THE BUILDING EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUN WHICH WAS THE PRIME CONCERN TO BE SOLVED.

WAS THE TEAM LEADER AND CORE DESIGNER FOR THIS COMPETITION FROM CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT TO FINAL DESIGN OUTPUT.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY_ THE MAIN CONCEPT OF THIS DESIGN REVOLVES TO SOLVE THE EXISTING EAST WEST ORIENTATION OF THE SITE. TO MAXIMIZE THE NATURAL VENTILATION AND OPTIMIZE THE DIRECT HEAT FROM THE SUN WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE NATURAL DAYLIGHT INTO THE BUILDING, WE DIVIDED THE MASS INTO TWO TOWERS WHICH ARE CONNECTED BY CIRCULATION INTERNALLY. THE SPACE BETWEEN TWO TOWERS FACILITATE TO MAXIMIZE THE NATURAL VENTILATION ALL THROUGH THE BUILDING. THE SPACE ALSO ACCOMMODATES SOME GREEN TERRACES WHICH WORKS AS BREATHING SPACE FOR OFFICE EMPLOYEES AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT WILL FUNCTION AS LIGHT REFLECTORS INTO THE OFFICE SPACE. THESE TERRACES WILL ASSIST TO COLLECT RAINWATER AS WELL.

THE REASON OF GRADUAL RECESSING OF MASSES AT FRONT FACADE ARE TO PRO VIDE SHADING FROM THE DIRECT SUN AT OFFICE TIME. A NEW SHADING DEVICE HAS BEEN INTRODUCED WHICH WILL CONTROL THE SUNLIGHT WHERE THE MASS IS EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUN. THIS DEVICE IS A COMBINATION OF LIGHT REFLECTOR AND A PASSAGEWAY FOR RAIN WATER COLLECTION. THIS DEVICE WILL BE CONNECTED WITH THE TERRACES WHICH WILL COLLECT RAIN WATER AND RAIN WATER WILL GO THROUGH THE PIPE IT CONTAINS TO THE RAINWATER RESERVOIR.
