Neither beauty nor virtue in eternity make sense, if ever exist, as a place has obtained its nature before it is found or constructed. Time generates stillness and motion, in the dynamic balance between which force and space form, and then the universe. Time transforms the relations between internal and external, existing and latent, autologous and mutual in a place. And time converts the relationship between the place and us. Time is the protocol. We are the pilgrims.

• THE DELAY OF RELOCATING OF EXISTING TANNERY IS DUE TO A LACK OF VISIBLE BENEFIT. • AUTHORITY IS PAYING BILLS FOR A NEW CENTRAL TREATMENT PLANT. • TANNERY OWNERS ARE PAYING FOR PROPERTY MORTGAGE ON THE NEW SITE.
Part of the soil is contaminated by leachate of toxic effluence.
As it is also located right along the Dhaleshwari river, prevention of polluting the clean watershed should be addressed.
brates like prawn and crab goes back and as keystone species they provide food for Sarus crane and otter, and eats invasive marsh grasses and algae. They also provide income for fishers.

The layout allows specialized unit to work, so tannery owners can choose to simplify workflow and save cost. With spacious open space, the settlement requires 22.5 hectare of land. Engineer the terrain and use gravity for water flows, this new site tries to provide a livelihood to tanners and their family members. Strategic urbanizing creates opportunities for green industry and informal innovation.
