In functional terms, apartment solutions from external consultants satisfy at best the quantitave needs of spaces for di erent tiers of teachers in a university, but remain non-responsive to the variable and assymetric needs of di erent tiers of teachers and their families of di erent universities set within di erent socio-geographic-political context.

Most design schemes that the consultants provide closely resemble generic urban apartment solutions. In social terms, most of their ‘one size ts all’ schemes hence fail to demon strate any conceptual and spatial component that would contribute to the making of a ‘community’ and satisfying other Quality of Life requirements. In theoratical terms, most design solutions fail to respond to the local and wider geo-cultural variables as a whole.

In consideration of these problems, it has been realized that a crisis of Identity is what characteriz es all these schemes, and any designerly response to these problems must begin with the recogni tion of the necessary components of architectural identity for in this case a HSTU campus site.

In search of identical character from the univer sity campus surroundings, it is found that the street pattern of the city has a vibrant avor which is connected with the ground level of the buildings and used for commercial purposes. The upper levels have residential uses. This sequence has been like this since the British colonial period of the city .

The outdoor activity and spatial sequence has been observed through a physical and analyti cal survey at di erent scales and then used to challenge the typical ‘One size ts all’ layout of existing residehntial campus buildings.

An Approach Towards ‘Edutainment’

at Krishnanagar, Khulna, Bangladesh

B A C K G R O U N D

Bangladesh has only one planetarium complex in the capital. The Govt. has recently taken the initiative to establish such complexes in each divisional town. This thesis was intended to serve that purpose with the proper identi cation of issues and the possible visualization of how the solution should be. The major identi ed issues from the existing establishment was the lack of choices and interactivity in the overall built environment. The spatial layout o ers no storytelling opportunity creat ing monolithic exhibition spaces. The main research question was ‘how to develop a competent archetype scheme which will enhance the oppor tunities for space science learning and exploration.’ Primary research objec tives include searching for the indica tors of an explorative environment and determining di erent aspects of ’edutainment’ in built environment. This project involves rigorous study and research about the transformation of museum and planetarium archetypes, its in uence on built form and exhibit spaces in contemporary practice.

Architecture might be related with the structure through variety of methods where structure plays a role to shape the form as well as ensuring the aesthetic view of the particular project. In earlier times, the structure provided only the stability of the building but did not produce spectacular architectural spaces because of structural limitations. After the industrial revolution, a movement was familiarized in the eld of architecture known as MODERNISM which introduced the high-tech architecture, deconstructivism and so on. Besides, the role of structure have been reformed with the advancement of technology and rede ned so as to create spaces and give spatial identity.

Located in a core tourist attraction of the dense capital of Bangladesh, the objective of the project was to explore building structure as an identical architectural entity following the contemporary works of prominent architects where they have used special structural system.

In this project, the works and design philosophy of Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer have been studied to generate an eye-catching pavilion where city people can gather to enjoy the location’s beauty as well as the gallery exhibitions.

MAJOR TAKEAWAYS

- Symmetricity in form

- Elevated from gound level

- A long path towards entry

- Use of glass and concrete as materials

OSCAR NIEMEYER

The pavilion is thought to be a gigantic shade for city people to gather and relax

- A parasol is a light umbrella used to give shade from the sun.

- It has been thought as a relaxation hub for the people to get relief from everyday city noise.

- The form allows ample views of the scenic beauty of the lake and works as a concrete shell in the design.

High-rise buildings are clearly related to the city with a natural response to dense population concentra tion, scarcity of land and high land cost. The building itself form a city within a city. Now a days, the design of tall buildings warrant a multidisciplinary approach and requires the integration of architectural compo nents, structure, vertical transportation, re safety, energy conservation, communication systems and the focus on the possibilities and challenges of using integrated system of sustainability concepts which will represent a new generation of high-rise buildings. The proposed site is located near the center point of Gulshan 2. Present recreational facility boosted with site’s economic potential because of the location.

Tapered Form reduces Wind-load & gives sense of Verticality.

Central Void ensures sense of monumentality & maximum daylight penetration.

Housing matters. It matters more to people’s lifestyle than other necessities such as food and clothing (Jing, 2014). Assessing housing need typically considers three dimen sions; amenity, a ordability and overcrowding (Bogdon and Can, 1997). Unlike amenity and overcrowding problems which are more prevalent in less developed economy, the problem of housing a ordability is associated with multi-facet economic, social, political and demographic considerations. By nature housing a ordability refers to “an expression of the subjective social and material experiences of people, constituted as household, in relation to their individual housing situations.”

Methodologically, residual income approach is adopted and the scope is beyond the border of poverty measurement.

The major STUDIO OBJECTIVE was to gather knowledge about di erent context in terms of housing with special focus in Khulna city context. To rethink generic trends of housing provision and explore the possibilities of rentable housing provision in di erent scale observing critically the spatial quality of rental living culture in the context of rapid urbanization. To deal with aspects such as socio-spatial impact, economical forces and environmental issues behind an architectural concept of living. To consider the possibility of dealing with urban space, people and society through an architectural interventionby proposing housing units, building programs and systems through precedents study.

The whole project was an outcome of rigorous study of the lower middle income people of the city Khulna. The site and target group was thoroughly surveyed with a structured questionnaire determining the major 10 housing a oradability factors on a scale of 5.

After compiling the survey data, the data was illustrated with proper drawings and sketches and presented to the community. Then from their feedback, the major issues, objectives, design indicators and design variables were formed to start the design process.

From relevant case studies and after going through the local rules and regulations, a housing delivery and nance policy was proposed. The whole project was documented and after the nal jury a nal report was submitted.
