KUAKATA TOURIST ACCOMODATION KUAKATA TOURISM CENTRE, BANGLADESH
SEMESTER ELEVEN - 2021 - DESIGN NINE INSTRUCTOR - SHAILA JOARDER AND NANDINI AWAL
THE STUDIO EXERCISED ON AN URBAN GROUP PROJECT THAT EMPHASIZED ON THE OVER ALL DEVELOPMENT OF KUAKATA TOURISM CENTRE. THE PROJECT WAS CATEGORIZED INTO TOW PARTS WHERE THE STUDENTS WERE TO GIVE LARGE SCALE PROPOSAL FOR THE AREAS DEVELOPMENT. IN THE SECOND PART THE STUDENTS WERE GIVEN AN AREA FOR DETAIL AREA LAN AND PROPOSAL IN A CERTAIN SECTOR OF THE TOURISM PLAN. THE STUDENTS WERE TO KEEP IN MIND THE GOVERNMENT PROPOSAL OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT DIRECTORATE. THE PROJECT REQUIRED STUDENTS TO WORK IN A GROUP OF FOUR MEMBERS. THE TOURIST ACCOMMODATION PLAN IS DESIGNED BASED ON THE TOURIST PROJECTION OF 50 YEARS. WHAT WOULD KUAKATA BE LIKE AFTER 50 YEARS? THE IDEA WAS TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION RESPECTING EXISTING FEATURE OF OUR SITE AND NOT CHANGE KUAKATA SIGNIFICANTLY. OUR GOAL WAS TO BRING BACK THE LOST NATURAL FABRIC, ENHANCE THE CURRENT BEAUTY AND PRESERVE EXISTING NATURE. BY DOING SO, WE BELIEVE, WE CAN GIFT TOURIST AN AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE OF THE KUAKATA TOURISM CENTRE. THE MAJOR CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PROPOSALS WERE THE FOLLOWING:
1. PEDESTRIAN CORRIDOR
2. EXISTING LANDMARK
3. RESPECTING NATURE 4. NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE SPACES
5. EXISTING STRUCTURES
THE PRIMARY IDEA WAS TO GIVE TOURIST AN EXPERIENTIAL JOURNEY THOUGH MULTIPLE PEDESTRIAN CORRIDORS. THEY CONNECTS TOURIST ACTIVITIES AND PUBLICS PACES THAT LIES ADJACENT TO THE PROMENADES WHICH LEADS THEM TO THE BEACH EASILY. THE TOURIST CAN READILY ACCESS THE BEACH AND ITS ACTIVITIES AS THE STEP OUT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE ACCOMMODATION. THE PROJECT SHOWS ONE OF THE CORRIDOR EXPERIENCE THOUGH A BLOW-UP PLAN AND ITS JOURNEY THOUGH MULTIPLE SECTIONS.
