Small world_
An Urban panaroma of Dhaka, depicting the juxtaposition of cityscape
We say we want to create beauty, identity, quality, singularity. And yet, maybe in truth these cities that we have are desired. Maybe their very characterlessness provides the best context for living.
- Rem Koolhaas
Architecture, to me, is an intellectual attempt that can be realized only through its physical built entities and an experiential endeavour catering the needs, for whom it is to be build. I am Kazi Fahriba Mustafa, currently working as a Lecturer at the Department of Architecture, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. I joined the department on 21 October 2015, after graduating from this same institution with a B.Arch degree on 19 September 2015.

My aspiration towards Architecture was not something I developed in my childhood, but a constant influence from my local culture and gradual evolution of my appreciation for art and local crafts. In my school days painting and sketching was indeed my pursuit for self-exploration and provided the food for my soul. I loved portraying my imaginations into drawing papers, be it beautiful scenery of the villages of Bangladesh or expressive portraits of everyday life & people. After getting the scope to study Architecture, my five years journey in the B.Arch programme not only contributed to nurture my passion for Art and Culture, but also gave impetus and a platform to understand the process and impact of thoughtful creation – that, to create for a cause.

The Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) is an international organization involving seven member countries, from South Asia – Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka – and from South East Asia –Thailand and Myanmar. BIMSTEC has a potential to increase the trade among member countries by taking advantage of their geographical location in the region of the Bay of Bengal
BIMSTEC CENTER
and the Eastern coast of the Indian Ocean. It has identified fourteen areas of cooperation, in such priority areas as trade, tourism, investment, poverty alleviation, infrastructural development, energy cooperation, connectivity, climate change and disaster management, people to people contacts etc.
It is highly understood in the cross boarder meetings that the BIMSTEC Permanent Secretariat would generate the momentum necessary for the implementation of all decisions and the agreed agenda taken from the side of Bangladesh.
[ activity chart ]
BIMSTEC center is seen as a platform to interpret the regional alliance of the seven nations through architectural language. The built volume is realized as highly contemporary yet reflecting the essence of the nations united under one roof.

Readymade garments sector is the most important industrial sector in Bangladesh. Around 3.6 million workers are involved in this sector. Due to high housing costs, workers are compelled to live in unhygienic slums or houses far away from their factory. Therefore providing affordable housing facilities has become a major concern. Our task was to identify a favorable location and design an affordable housing facility for workers with families and individuals.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING

A site of about 3 acres was chosen from the existing surroundings
Since a node is present just below the site, so to avoid traffic congestion the entry point is given a bit farther from the node, through the middle of the site
Leaving adequate setback space and an added space in the south for landscaping near the canal, our built area is roughly obtained
Zoning is done keeping residence units in the south, female mess in a private space in the north west and male mess in north east,near the road encouraging their usual roadside interactions
A composition of green space and their pedestrian linkage is designed ensuring a free flow of wind and community interactions

A sense of belonging is created with the help of colors in windows and verandas. Strong colors will give strong identity to the units. Also,different families will use the veranda space according to their own needs,creating individuality in the facade.The freedom to choose their units from a variety of options gives them control and provides a better living condition. Principle building material used is brick, with cement plaster. Ferrocement material is used in interior partitions, louvres and sunshades to reduce construction cost.

On west and eastern sides, the perforation has been kept minimal to reduce heat gain. On south and north side, the perforation is wider on the screen to let in an uniform amount of day light. Exhaust fan is kept away from the working environment for workers comfort. Heat gets reflected and an uniform diffused light get into the environment. Electrical lines and other service ducts are over the fire protected false ceiling to reduce hazard. Steel structure is used for large span with minimum column width.

The project was to find works of master architects and prepare them to place in local context. Most lucrative part of this project was to find how master thought, worked and designed. Simulations and analysis helped to take design decisions and evaluate planning. I choose to work with Maison A’ Bordeaux located in Bordeaux, France, designed by Architect Rem Koolhaas.
MASTER IN SITU
Rem Koolhaas and his firm OMA have redefined the term that ‘a house is a machine for living’ in their design of Maison A Bordeaux. This ingenious idea of creating a room for his paralyzed client, that is capable of moving vertically through the house creates a spatial dynamism within the house.

Ficus Religiosa (Asbattha gache) is a large, fast growing deciduous tree. It has heart shaped leaves. It is one of the longest living trees. It is an outdoor air infiltration plant and it has anti-oxidant and microbial efficiency.
The placement of the pool on the northwest and south west serves as a heat buffer and cooler air flow.
Glass louvres has been used on the floor and roof level to treat the transparent facades. The inlet has been kept smaller than the outlet for the effective circulation of dense cool air and light warm air.
The original design had an open kitchen area under the ground with minimum daylight. However in our context in Bangladesh the food habit is different and a closed kitchen is neccessary. Proper daylight and ventilation was ensured by carving out some of the earth and creating a double height internal courtyard.Required daylighting is around 300400lux in a kitchen.

Kapasia Upazilla in Gazipur has an unique land character. The area contains Salforest, wetland and high topograhic area within the same environmental context promoting huge biodiversity and ecosystem. The center is designed in such a way to cause the least intervention in the natural setting.
The roof merges with the high topographic land creating a natural paltform for wildlife. Initially man-made earth mound helps to camoflauge the building from the surrounding nature. With time, due to the moisture content of the earth mound, mosses, fungi, bacteria grows, making the mound a part of the nature.

SWADHINATA SRITI SHOUDHA
To uphold the contributions of University of Dhaka at the period of the Liberation War 1971, the university authority has taken an initiative to construct the “Dhaka Bishwa Buddalay Swadhinata Sriti Shoudha� at the Mall area. Our design is focused onto highlighting the different areas of Dhaka University which played vital roles in the 1971 Liberation War. We have tried to draw in reference lines from the respective areas into our design site which formed the pedestrian paths.
[ a. perspective view ]
The proportions in the plan, of the central circle and the rectangular landscaped area are derived from the national flag proportions of Bangladesh. The conical shape of the monument does not only uphold the past but also it is an attempt to provide a direction for the future. The thin slits in between the vertical plates represents those people who have sacrificed their lives to gift us with a free Bangladesh.

First a preliminary model was created out of matchsticks to come up with a desired journey of planes. Next in final, the module was a wood stick 10X10mm in cross section and each 100mm in length. Planks of wood had to be sliced to get the required piece. Then each piece was polished ere glued with sandpaper to get the perfect tactile pleasure. Adding up modules, the instructed 300X600X900mm volume was filled.
Plane- one of the fundamental element of architecture was about to make a journey. It was a composition of horizontal and vertical lines in a defined mass, creating a puzzle of planes, all with definite beginnings and indefinite endings. The planes were all in different heights. Though the planes were not in any regular intervals, a harmony was clearly significant in their placement.
