Cultural Sustainability

Mukim Khan Cultural Sustainability is a systematic and strategic intervention to develop the embedded pattern of living and built environment to address the current issues without compromising the future development. Globalization contests traditional and contextual architecture, and sustainable development has become one of the major challenges to cultural and regional development. Introducing technology and passive design strategies in building has become a common practice to address sustainable development. However, is the same principle inappropriate to sustainable development for every region? If so, could an approach in contemporary architecture be
The Site Is Divided Based In Few Important Function
needed to promote and develop the individual cultural, localized design, materials, and construction to advance sustainable development? The fundamental objective of the thesis is to address the cultural importance in architecture as another layer of sustainable development. Unlike imposing exogenous solutions, the concept argues with the approach of transforming indigenous design solutions through modern techniques and applications. The purpose of cultural sustainability is to develop design strategies of the site of old Dhaka, Bangladesh to incorporate the cultural sustainability in contemporary practice as the continuation of memory, diversity, and culture towards a futuristic sustainable development.

SVA TOWER, NY M. Arch, 1st Studio, Highrise Design. Duration: Four months The fundamental concern of this project is not to add another isolated High-rise, but rather to address the interactive street life of Manhattan, and provide a vibrant identity for School of Visual Arts campus. The site holds 50 years of academic memory and spatial connection of people and built environment. The notion of the project is to transform this relationship into the vertical structure to add another layer of continuation of the memory, diversity, and cultural interaction of future students. The building is articulated based on layers of interactive spaces, as creativity is enhanced through intuitive imagination and sharing. The transformable building screen is responsive to solar radiation and also represents the emerging symbol of SVA students on Manhattan c i t y s c a p e

Response to site force
The space is layered into three levels of functions, public access, semi- public access and private space. The Building has an urban fabric around its outside elevation. The middle portion of the building is introverted to bring more personal space for students. Therefore student will get a feelings of their own campus building. The building is arranged with vertical semi open terraces for students works. It also helps to have the indoor-outdoor relationship throughout the b u i l d i n g

Vertical courts are placed in different levels to create interactive spaces for students. These spaces are similar to urban voids with in a building. It helps to create introverted spaces for students within the building. The sculpture garden is placed in the 6th floor with the dorms. The space is acting as the gathering space and open work place to enhance sharing. This place also helps to bring the light inside of the buildings and maintain the indoor-outdoor r e l a t i o n s h i p
