It has provided the audience an opportunity to experience the creation and production of architecture students of Bangladesh at a global stage since a selection of submissions from all over the world is also presented under the same light. The exhibition has been able to portray that perfect mix of creativity, enthusiasm and skill our students possess which, with careful grooming, could make a difference in our lifescape.

While the presence of prominent architects and academics graced the event, the success of this exhibition probably lies on its capacity to encourage our student community and building confidence among them. The praiseworthy curation also proved that once an effective enterprise is taken by the young community, it immediately receives aid and inspiration from community, business and most importantly institutional leaderships; a cooperation which is of invaluable importance. Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology and Archiprix International deserve a wholehearted appreciation for the initiative. We expect the think of this initiative to stick on their objective and create more opportunity of various formats for our students and young architects.

Renovation and Remodelling of Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium

Posted on 22 May, 201824 May, 2018 by Hasan Prince

Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium is simultaneously a renovation and redevelopment project (alternation & addition). In 1978, this stadium was originally designed and built as an athletics and football stadium at Mirpur. Later in 2004 the venue was handed over to BCB, initiating a project ‘HOME OF CRICKET’ with ‘Center of Excellence’ for better development of cricket. It was then converted into an International Cricket Ground following ICC (International Cricket Council) standard. Since then the venue is successfully hosting international cricket matches including world cup.

The scope of the work included renovation of the existing stadium facilities and design of a training academy and practice facilities both indoor and outdoor. To manage the crowd, two elevated plazas were added with commercial facilities underneath. This plaza guides the spectators’ to their respective destination while giving a grand feeling of entry to the stadium.

Porcelanosa Furniture Design Competition| Winning Entry in Living Room Category

Posted on 3 May, 20184 May, 2018 by Hasan Prince

| From the designer |

My search was to find an elegant formal expression to symphonize with the elegant seamless surface KRION offers to us. Keeping up the minimalism of the surface quality, the furniture would not only harmonizes with the surrounding elements but also would enhances their quality.

The solution was a continuous line. The line becomes a simple single surface and serves as a table. Like an artistic stroke of a paintbrush; flowing spontaneously, it also creates spaces offering vast flexibility of use to its user constantly and becomes mysterious, different to each user. To break monotony it varies in thickness reaching the edge of freedom KRION has to offer in product design, achieving a unique visual satisfaction.

Production process:

The design perceived as using 9mm KRION surface thermoforming to make the top layer. Additional support for strengthening the joints and aesthetical enhancement bottom part would be joined by chemical welding and feathered by sanding. Minimum 13mm radius for curving maintained. Matte surface provided for ease of maintenance.

Benapole Land Port of Entry | AUST

Posted on 1 May, 20183 May, 2018 by Hasan Prince

Benapole Port, the largest land port of entry in Bangladesh, located on Bangladesh- India border in Jessore. It handles more than 80% of cross border trade with India owing to its proximity to West Bengal. About 90% of the imported Indian goods enter Bangladesh through this port.

Average 2000 passengers and 600-700 trucks of goods are passed through this point everyday but it was never organized in orderly and systematic way. Moreover Calcutta is connected with Dhaka by road through Benapole. So maximum tourists use this port as their entry and exit point for India.

There is an old railway line in the south of the site. After the Indo-Pak war in 1965, the railway connection between India and Bangladesh through Benapole was permanently shut down. Very recently, Bangladesh and India are set to reopen this defunct transborder rail route. If the old rail connectivity can be restored and reopened, including this sealed rail link, it will boost subregional trade and tourism between these two neighbouring countries. Considering this, there is a need to upgrade the existing land port with multimodal ( rail and bus) passenger and cargo terminal facilities.

For designing a land port, one of the key challenges is to resolve the circulation efficiently to maneuver the cross-border traffic and cargo. Hence, the main consideration was to design the circulation with separate lanes and loops for smooth operation of the traffic. In the design proposal, train , bus and cargo are handled separately via individual terminals and entry/exist points.

It is also fundamental to incorporate the passive and active security features necessary to prevent all types of illegal entries through the port. However, instead of creating a “fortress,” the proposal rather impart confidence and respect by welcoming travelers entering Bangladesh without compromising necessary inspections and security issues. The lofty space and open layout of the terminal building makes it easy for visual surveillance and crowd management.

Hence, the project has the potential to become a landmark establishment by promoting bilateral trade between Bangladesh and India. Nevertheless, up-scaling of the Benapole Land Port will improve border protection by minimizing security breaches and illegal entries through this international border. Thus either as a goods or tourists exchange point, Benapole port has paramount importance.

Idea Competition: Wellington Oriental Bay Pavilion|ADEDU

Posted on 26 April, 201826 April, 2018 by Hasan Prince

COMPETITION BRIEF

This is a single stage ideas competition with the aim of identifying the best proposal for a Creative Exhibition Center in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand.

This competition is open to all students and young professionals (under 40) of areas related to architecture. Multidisciplinary teams are encouraged. The winning design will demonstrate a high degree of expression and creativity in fulfilling the program requirements, in accordance with the specific design guidelines presented here.

THE SITE

The site of this competition is the Band Rotunda which is located at the heart of Oriental Parade, one of the most beautiful and popular streets in Wellington. The area of the site is about 530 m2 with a semi-circular shape projecting into Wellington Harbour.

A bathing pavilion was built on the site in the nineteenth century. A second floor was subsequently added to the original art-deco structure in the late twentieth century which until recently accommodated a restaurant. After an earthquake in 2016, a crack in the foundation of the building indicated that the added floor was too heavy for the original design. City councilors and planners question whether we should bring the building back to its original design, or if we would be better off to create a new structure that expresses the spirit of our time. Creative and innovative proposals both the design of the new structure and for the use of the site are encouraged in this competition.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

This is an ideas competition, therefore all submitted projects should be for a concept design. All proposals will be reviewed by an international jury. Winners will be decided according to the conceptual merit of the works submitted to the competition.

ELIGIBILITY

The competition is open to students and young professionals (under 40) in areas related to architecture. No professional qualification is required. Design proposals can be developed individually or by teams (4 team members maximum). The registration of architecture teaching institutions is encouraged as this competition provides a realistic, compelling and challenging task for students.

PROBHABOK-A Practice to Improve Creative Potential Initiated by AIUB Architecture Students

Posted on 23 April, 201824 April, 2018 by Hasan Prince

Organizing competitions for the architecture students are one of the ways to offer a platform for those creative minds. Through competition, enthusiastic students get the opportunity to express their creative potential. In 2007, AIUB Architecture dept. organized an inter-university design competition for the first time in Bangladesh. In 2015, another Open Student Design Competition in association with IAB was organized from this Department on the occasion of its 10 years celebrations. But this time, it is the students who organized an intra-department design competition to promote and contribute to Departmental co-curricular activities.

On 5 April 2018, students of Architecture department organized the intra-department design competition “Probhabok.” 22 teams registered for the competition under category A (2nd & 3rd-year students) and category B (4th & 5th-year students). Each team was comprised of three members totaling 66 participants in the competition. Among the three members of each team, one was from first-year students in both categories. Because the main goal of the competition was not only to appreciate creative minds but also to improve communication and connection among different level students of Architecture department and thus share their ideas on a common platform.

Vertical Neighbourhood: Design for Social Mix | CUET

Posted on 21 April, 201824 April, 2018 by Hasan Prince

Due to population influx, the trend of high-rise housing in urban areas of Bangladesh is on the rise more than ever. The resurgence of vertical housing development is being observed in the major cities like Dhaka and Chittagong.

The high rise, high density residential environments resulting from the ongoing urban consolidation policy have created a sense of social detachment, where public and private interaction spaces often do not exist. It is through these varieties of spaces that social interaction is encouraged; and without these social activities taking place, this vertical community becomes almost a meaningless entity within the urban realm. In a developing country like ours, the ever increasing housing demand and shortage of land has forced us to live vertically in multi-storied or high-rise apartments. But in such housing development it is prevalent that only the basic shelter, an apartment unit, is provided without any community facility, which results in dense urban vertical slum and concrete jungle.

Analysis of site and context © Abu Sayeed Mohammed Ziad

Whereas traditionally we are accustomed to living in a society where communal cohesiveness is the primary concern. Our vernacular architecture has evolved in adaptation of such social needs and shaped by the local climatic and geography. A house is more than just a ‘shelter’ in that sense. It has multiple dimensions including functional, social, cultural and symbolic. However, the urbanization process has significantly altered our lifestyle so as our house form. Single family dwellings has transformed to multifamily apartment buildings, particularly in urban areas. In this process of transformation we often compromise the community spaces integral to social cohesion within housing environment. If we look back to our past housing systems, the common courtyard is an excellent example of this, which provides the opportunity for safety, connectivity and social interaction.

Form generation © Abu Sayeed Mohammed Ziad

This thesis aims to bring the essence of communal cohesiveness through social connectivity in the newly emerged vertical housing typology in our country. To achieve this, ‘Co-housing’ is taken as the concept, where the built environment harness the relation between community and houses to promote social and group life experience.

A site of 11.93 acres is selected; situated in GEC node, a major CBD area in Chittagong city. Total number of 3500 people(780 families) are taken into consideration to place in this housing project, taking a density of 300pers/acre. 35% of the site is taken as buildable area and the massing is derived into a staggered formation with a central court space, to ensure maximum south ventilation.

Ground level plan of the housing complex © Abu Sayeed Mohammed Ziad

Three types of units are provided by analyzing the housing need of Chittagong city. The units are treated as individual cells and their groupings are made to establish a courtyard setting which respects the traditional values of our vernacular housing. In the plan level, the inspiration for the design is taken directly from traditional setting in our village homes. Vertically, two courtyards are placed on a level difference to ensure visual connection between floors where communal functions are provided.

The hierarchy of communal spaces are established in such way that, a semi private courtyard is connected to public urban spaces through semipublic neighborhood open spaces. These neighborhood communal spaces houses various amenities for the inhabitants of the housing. An open walk area and vertical urban park in the fourth level of the housing complex are designed to counter balance the negative impact of flyover which is stationed beside the site. This vertical urban walk area also houses amenities like club houses, indoor play area, saloons and libraries, where mass gathering can occur. As the site is situated in a major CBD, the commercial need of the surrounding area is taken into consideration and a separate massing is designed to house the commercial functions, like shopping malls & food courts.

Water court and main entry © Abu Sayeed Mohammed Ziad

In the master plan, entry is provided from south and east side of the site which connect the housing area with two major district distributor roads and reduces the ensuing traffic loads generated from the housing. Centrally a water court with three water bodies and surrounding green parks is designed to provide the inhabitants with contemplation and urban gathering area. Different amenities like nursery school with child play area, community centre, super shops and convenience stores, medical centre and general play area are also provided on ground level.

Corridor as street © Abu Sayeed Mohammed Ziad

The resulting design transforms into a connected condominium housing where communal cohesiveness is achieved through interaction spaces. Community supervision for the children, walking and relaxation spaces for general and elderly people, vertical amenities, park areas are provided. The roofs of this design are envisioned as intensive green roofing system and act as Vertical Park. Through this green roofing system and green spaces in vertical level, consumed green from the site area is given back to the inhabitants. The corridors, connecting the vertical circulation with the internal spaces, act as an urban street which provides the opportunity of chance encounter. Ultimately, realization of the traditional communal spaces in the vertical level has been done through the design process.
