gateway to the city
multimodal transportation terminal
Academic Project | Project Yr.: Level 5, Term 2 (Studio X), Project Duration: 12 weeks
site: Tongi, Dhaka, Bangladesh issue
The center of gravity of downtown activities for Greater Dhaka city is gradually shifting north to Joydevpur and Eastward. The inter-district public transportation for north-east bound districts (Greater Mymensingh) should be restricted at the edge of the greater Metropolitan to avoid more congestion at inner city traffic. Rather an interchange to city bus service will provide the link to the centre of the city.

Part II : programme generation
Site Evaluation A set of criteria was developed to evaluate the site depending on the following matrix: Accessibility - Ridership Demand - Modes Served - Proximity to transportation Interchanges - Access from Adjacent Streets - Proximity to Other Major Destinations - Quality of Pedestrian Environment and Access Site Configuration/Issues - Ability to Accommodate Transportation Program - Opportunity for Creation of Important Civic Structure
8.
Environmental Constraints - Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses - Impact on/Compatibility with Historic Buildings/Districts - Other Environmental Considerations

The formal expression was reflecting the building's function of mobility. Large spanned trusses and curved roof was the visual impression of man's development of technologies. It also gave the impression of urban morphology for the newcomers coming from countryside. Access Different overpass and underpass was placed to act as intake points for the pedestrians. Also provision for easy access of cab and private vehicles were made.
All services under one roof can ensure fluent and efficient circulation for the vehicles of different modes and their users. The terminal would act as an important interchange hub for the transportation arteries at the edge of the city, while marking the access point to the metropolis

05 truss system
A structural system was needed to develop, which would cover a large span of 135' with extension of about 72' on each side. Curved bonesection were used as members to develop a three-dimensional and composite truss system to covered the required space- volume of 134' by 75' .

the truss system contains the space volume of the main atrium space
