THE IDEA WAS TO HAVE A BUILT ENVIRONMENT THAT WOULD BLEND WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS WITHOUT SACRIFING THE VIEWS TO AND FROM THE BEACH ADJACENT TO THE SITE. THE KEY CHALLENGE WAS TO PROVIDE SAFETY AND PRESERVE THE MARINE ARTIFACTS FROM HARM DURING TIDAL SURGES AND HAVE A LARGE SPAN STRUCTURE AT THE SAME TIME. THE WHOLE STRUCTURE ENTIRELY FLOATED ON THE MASSIVE COLUMNS, KEEPING IT 14’ ABOVE SEA-LEVEL. TEMPERED GLASS AND ALUMINIUM FINS PROTECTS THE SURFACES FROM TIDAL SURGES AND HEAVY WINDS. THE PROGRAMS WERE ALSO DIVIDED INTO TWO FLOORS, TO STORE WATER SENSIVITE ITEMS ABOVE AND LESS WATER SENSITIVE ITEMS BELOW. THE ENTRY AND EXIT RUNS THROUGH THE CENTRE OF THE STRUCTURE TO PROVIDE VEIWS AND ACCESS TO THE BEACH WITH EASE.

MOULOVI BAZAAR DISTRICT OF SYLHET DIVISION IS LOCATED AT THE NORTH EAST END OF BANGLADESH.THE DISTRICT HAS HIGH PRECIPITATION RATE AND THE RAINY SEASON LASTS UPTO SIX MONTHS A YEAR. DURING THE RAINY SEASON, WATER LEVEL RISES UPTO 13’ HIGH. SINCE, THE WATER LEVEL FLUCTUATION IS HIGH THE DISTRICT IS PRONE TO FLOODING. A LOT OF GROUND GOES UNDERWATER DURING THE MONTHS OF JUNE, JULY, AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER. THE CONCEPT WAS TO DESIGN A COMPACT MODULAR MEDICAL UNIT EASY TO DISMANTLE AND EXPAND, AMPHIBIAN IN NATURE TO ADAPT TO THE SITE. THREE HEXAGONS WERE PLACED AROUND A CENTRAL HEXAGON. TO GIVE IT FLOATING PROPERTY, THE HEAGONS WERE MADE BOATLIKE AT THE BOTTOM. THE COMPACTION METHOD TO BE FOLDABLE. THE THREE HEXGONS WOULD ALL FOLD TOWARDS THE CENTRAL HEXAGON. MAKING THEM ONE SINGLE UNIT AND EASY TO CARRY OVER WATERS.
MOVABLE HEALTH CLINIC

URBAN PROJECT, SECTOR 2
HOUSING PROJECT, SECTOR 5
SITE MAP
THE AIM WAS TO DESIGN A CHEAP HOUSING FOR THIS AGRARIAN COMMUNITY. THE HOUSING WAS TO BE USED BY THE FARMERS WHO WORKS IN THE FARMLANDS AND THE GOAL WAS TO DESIGN SMALL APARTMARTS AIMED AT LOW INCOME AND MEDIUM INCOME PEOPLE. THE COMPLEX IS 8 STORIED, AND THERE ARE 24 MEDIUM APARTMENTS AND 32 SMALL APARTMENTS. THE MEDIUM APARTMENTS OWNERS ARE THE REAL OWNERS OF THIS COMPLEX AND OVERSEE THE FARMLANDS, THE MONEY THEY INVEST IS USED TO BUILD THE ENTIRE COMPLEX AND THEY RENT IT TO THE LOW INCOME PEOPLE. THE LOW INCOME PEOPLE, WITH CHEAP RENT AND EASY AVAILABILITY OF FOOD CAN EASILY SUSTAIN THEIR FAMILIES. THE FAMILES ALSO GROW VEGETABLES ON THEIR BALCONIES WITH INTURN HELPS THEM TO SAVE MORE.

BASEMENT PLAN
HOUSING- SECTOR 5, THE CONCEPT WAS TO DESIGN LOW COST HOUSING BLOCKS FOR THE FARMERS AND LAND OWNERS HERE. THE GROUND FLOORS ARE FOR SMALL SHOPS FOR THE LOCALS, AND THE BASEMENT WOULD BE PARKING APPROX. 21 CARS. THE SMALL UNITS ARE 800 SFT. AND HAVE 2 BEDS, SHARED LIVING AND DINING SPACES WHICH IS GOOD FOR A WITH LOW WAGE AND 2 CHILDREN. THE MEDIUM UNITS ARE 1600 SFT, WITH 3 BEDS AND MORE SPACIOUS LIVING AND DINING. THESE ARE DESIGNED FOR THE LAND OWNERS OR INVESTOR CATEGORY PEOPLE WHO OWNS THE LANDS, SHOPS ETC. OVERALL, THEIR INVESTMENTS ARE WHAT MAKES THE HOUSING BLOCK FEASIBLE FOR THE LOW WAGE FAMILIES.
URBAN
PLAN
URBAN- SECTOR 2, IS A MIXED SECTOR. THE CONCEPT WAS TO WORK FOR BOTH GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE SECTORS. THE GOVERNMENT FACILITIES SUCH AS FARMLANDS, PARKS, MOSQUE, MADRASA, LIBRARY AND SCHOOL ARE LOCATED IN THIS SECTOR. THE PRIVATE SECTOR OWNS THE HOUSING AND OFFICES. THIS SECTOR IS AT THE CENTRE OF BASHUNDHARA, SO THE CONNECTING GREENS, THE LAKE AND THE PARKS ALL CONTRIBUTE TO MAINTAINING THE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY IN BASHUNDHARA. IT’S ALL A CONNECTED PATH OF INTERESTING WALK THAT INVITES ALL, INTO THE SECTOR. THE WALKWAYS CONNECTS THE FACILITIES AND PROVIDE DIRECT ROUTES AND ACCESS TO THEM. MY PART WAS TO DO THE LANDSCAPING IN THIS SECTOR AND DESIGN THE MOSQUE.
LANDSCAPES THESE GREEN LANDSCAPES ARE INSPIRED FROM THE GREEN FARMLANDS AND GREEN LIVING, THIS SECTOR HAVING EDUCATIONAL BLOCKS, RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES IS IDEAL FOR CHILDREN. THESE LANDSCAPES WOULD THUS PROVIDE THE SERENE ATMOSPHERE A CITY LACKS, AND HELP IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH. LIVING WITH NATURE ALWAYS HAS IT BENEFITS FOR HEALTY LIVING.

THE PUBLIC UNIVERSITY OF CHITTAGONG TAKES IN AROUND 200 STUDENTS A YEAR OF WHICH 40 ARE ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS.
GROUND FLOOR PLAN
THE CONCEPT WAS TO USE MAXIMUM FLAT GROUNDS ON THE PEAK OF THE SLOPE WHICH GAVE THE BUILDING IT’S SHAPE, IT IS ALSO A VERY IDEAL SPOT AS IT PROVIDES VIEWS IN EVERY DIRECTION. THE STUDIOS AND THE OPEN SPACE FACE THE SMALL LAKES INSIDE THE CAMPUS AND THE ROOF WAS DESIGNED TO FACILITATE PASSIVE COOLING FOR THE STRUCTURE.
