MD. ABDULLAH md.abdullah.dia@gmail.com +49 15750422864 ARCHITECT
I am an architect from Dhaka, Bangladesh.Recently nished my master degree at Dessau International Architecture(DIA) at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences. Architecture to me, is inherently anchored in its for spatial & social context. The process of making architecture is translating immeasurable to measurable by manipulating architectural form with re-dening it’s elements that based on the old. With the use of Architectural space, materiality & the way of construction, the measurable express itself that evokes spirituality, memory which are immeasurable. My professional career has shown me that I am an active and eager person at work, with the ability to adapt myself to different tasks and work as a team member or individually. I consider myself as a responsible, organized and creative person who always seek beauty through perfection. In this Portfolio I would like to express my critical point of view to contemporary architectural development and urbanization through my academic & professional experience, attempting to seek for new possibilities of architectural & urban forms through new meaning imposed on the older ideas.

ARTICULATION
OF A 3 DIMENSIONAL BASIC FORM
UNDERGRADUATE STUDIO II
MEDIA: PAPER
CONCEPT:
The task was to understand the basic three dimensional form and articulate it in various way to get the idea of the volume and the possibilities of the different views through it. I choose triangular form and made it 3 dimensional by extruding the footprint and articulated it by the elevation in geometrical way

Sports complexes give people the resources they need to exercise throughout the year. Of course, indoor varieties enable you to play a sport rain or shine, but even outdoor facilities provide users with court lines, netting and smooth surfaces for gameplay.
Depending on the setup, players can be protected from environmental elements like UV rays, heavy winds and rain. Some outdoor facilities sit in a shaded location where intense heat is not an issue. An indoor or outdoor sports complex might be just what your community needs to dodge inclement weather and stay on schedule with practices and events. With an indoor sports facility, recreational and professional athletes can compete with accessible heating and air conditioning. Another perk of a sports complex is adequate lighting. Players have the freedom to start games at any time.
A sports court can also include amenities like lockers, changing rooms, restrooms and concession areas. Creating a new sports complex within a city is known to boost the local economy. The all-new sports complex will require workers. Your city could see new part-time, full-time and temporary openings for security, cleaning or food service.
SITE LOCATION & CONTEXT
Women’s Sports complex was mainly designed to create activity space dedicated only to women. It is a multi functional complex accommodating several kind of sports and a residential dormitory for the players. The complex is located in Dhanmondi area of dhaka city. This area is mainly residential area. therefore, keeping in mind the complex was designed to create a communal space for the community as well as to promote women sports in Bangladesh. Women sports are still lagging behind in many ways. One of the main aim was to set an example of the possible ways to make more functional and encourage more women to participate in sports activity. In that way, both the sports team and government can share the benet.

MSDP COLLABORATION WITH ACADEMIC SESSION
Urban Development Directorate (UDD) has taken initiative to designate particular segments of the MSDP for design exercise which is implemented by the Department of Architecture, Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST). This particular design workout is carried outas academic exercise for Design Studio VII, which is labeled for understanding of the urban complexity and interrelation of complicated issues of architecture,urban design and planning.
In this particular academic exercise, these we participated as a group and designed the project titled as mentioned bellow
Redesign of Mymensingh Central Railway Station Area as a Central Transportation Hub.

Nodes are points within the city, strategically located, into which the individual enters (and which is often the main focal point to which she or he is travelling to or from.There are often junctions – a crossing or converging of paths They often have a physical element such as a popular hangout for the individual or a plaza area.In many cases,the nodes are the centers of district that are in. A very basic feature of node is junction of transportation system and where the mode of transportation changes.The junction or place of a break in transportation.

The site for this project is situated at Tongi, Gazipur.This area is developing day by day beside dhaka city.
The major challenge of the project was to maintain the blending character of the Persian architecture, Islamic architecture and local architecture. Because it represents Iran in Bangladesh. The main feature of that country is Islam in both politically and ethically Therefore, the project deserves the character of an Islamic complex Moreover, the location of the project is in Bangladesh, and the maximum user of the complex belongs to Bangladesh. Therefore, it should satisfy their necessity as well as the local climate.
Islam is a very simple religion all along the history. Some simple forms of architecture and simple geometry can represent the simplicity of Islam Decoration (which is derived from Persian heritage) can be expressed in somemodern ways Here ‘simplicity’ can also be a language of expression. Facing of the complex is blended with the local context When one passes beside the complex can feel it a building for his own. There is no alien use the building belongs to. So one can feel very easy to use the building, enjoy the building and after all think over the building.
