Item ABODE OF HOPE A CENTRE FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED CHILDREN, GAZIPUR(2022-03) ABIR, MD. HASIBUL HASANIn this thesis, the study of the problems the visually impaired people face in various environments and the architectural solutions to minimize them are described. Architectural practice has long been dominated by the sight. While architects consider universal access in most cases, consideration of the experience of a disabled person inside the building is yet to be practiced in mainstream architectural practice. There has not been much recognition of the growing understanding of the multisensory nature of the human mind that has emerged from the field of cognitive neuroscience research. Persons with disabilities are more likely to experience economic and social disadvantages than those without disabilities. Regarding this issue, there are no fully equipped disabled centers in Bangladesh. The design process considers the suitability of the site, and necessary functions and the main aim of the project is to make people conscious of universal accessibility and make blind children a part of our social and cultural activity which will, in turn, make these children more strong, honest and self-confident. The visually impaired children need education and proper guidance to live independently. Thus, the importance of this project cannot be neglected as it will uplift a part of the society which has been held back because of the lack of proper training. Architecture has the power to create a specific space for them and change their lives. This center will aim to better the lives of these visually impaired children who are greatly neglected.Item BANGABANDHU FILM CITY: A JOURNEY THROUGH FILM MAKING, KALIAKOIR,GAZIPUR(2022-03) EMA, ISHRAT JAHANIn terms of artistic expression, films are considered to be among the most famous forms. All of us can identify with the essence of films, even if we might not comprehend art. The medium of cinema is responsible for bringing stories to life. The film industry is dwindling in importance so often in this nation, which is still a growing one. The absence of infrastructure to support the sector is one of the factors. Building a system as well as creating a venue for artists and cinema buffs to come together, admire art, and experience the richness and diversity of something like the film-making process are critical first steps in exploring this particular form of art. In certain industrialized countries, including neighboring countries India, there are film cities wherein individuals may not only shoot movies but also learn about the entire process from start to finish. In a developing nation like Bangladesh, a presence of a film city would absolutely add substantially to augment the path to artistic glory. Such a platform would serve as the hub for artistic celebration for the artists and cinema buffs, not just the general public. Some put a lot of effort and money into it, and a film city will provide them with the right infrastructure that is currently lacking.Item BANGABANDHU SHEIKH MUJIBUR RAHMAN NOVO-THEATRE KARNAKATHI, BARISAL(2022-03) ARAF, AHNAF TAHMIDFrom the beginning of time, mankind has wondered about the universe. This curiosity has lead human kind to discover a lot of things. From the sundial to capturing the black hole, astronomy has developed a lot. A Planetarium exhibits the beautiful creations of the human discovery of the universe and beyond. However, Science and Technology is the benchmark of prosperity of a nation in modern era. Nations all over the world is patronizing the development of science whereas, Bangladesh falls behind in this sector. Nevertheless, Bangladesh has huge opportunity of development in this sector. This project should create interest and curiosity among the mass people, especially the children to learn and explore the vast world of astronomical science. This will be the hub where people gather for recreation and enrich their knowledge.Item EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF FLOW VELOCITY AND DIRECTION AROUND NACA 0012 & NACA 0015 AIRFOIL(DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE, 2022-02) RAHMAN, MD MAHFUJUR; MAIESHA, JAHURA JANNAT; MARMA ( 201822041), UKYAWSAINItem JUVENILE CORRECTION AND REHABILITATION CENTER: RANGUNIA, CHATTOGRAM(2022-03) NASHIN, NUSAIBADue to rapid industrialization, urbanization and change in the social attitude, the number of juvenile delinquency have increased to a great extent. The aim of Juvenile Detention Center is to rehabilitate and protected young offenders from adult offender’s influence. The main goal of this space is to treat young offenders to a point where they are less tempted to repeat their delinquent behavior and they become productive members of society. To achieve this, a number of smaller goals listed. The juveniles organize in smaller groups and the designed space organize according to the cycle of time that they have to spend in this complex. The space also must have the quality to influence and motivated them to rethink about their life and give them a hope and light to see the right track of life. This thesis interrogates Juvenile Correctional and Rehabilitation facilities as an architectural typology, and explores their design philosophy and its effects. It investigates the architectural and spatial ualities that can facilitate the rehabilitation of young offenders.Item JUVENILE CORRECTION AND REHABILITATION CENTER: RANGUNIA, CHATTOGRAM(2022-03-01) (201732018), NASHIN NUSAIBAItem PURBACHAL CULTURAL CENTER PURBACHAL, DHAKA(2024-03) SIRAJ, ABU NOSORThe project aims to design a dynamic and inclusive cultural hub situated in the burgeoning urban landscape of Purbachal, Dhaka, Bangladesh. This undergraduate thesis endeavors to address the growing need for communal spaces that foster cultural exchange and expression in rapidly expanding cities. Grounded in principles of architectural innovation and cultural sustainability, the project explores the integration of traditional Bengali cultural elements with modern design concepts to create a versatile environment for artistic endeavors, performances, exhibitions, and community gatherings. Through the idea of a shaded space housing various activities within it, the thesis seeks to conceptualize a vibrant center that not only celebrates Bangladesh's rich cultural heritage but also serves as a catalyst for social cohesion and creative engagement within the local community. The center should be a combination of landscape and urban space. Designed as a public exhibition and community building, integrating a high variety of programs and functions. The Atrium and Outer Sculpture Gardens of the building can be used as a venue for performance, exhibition, and colorful festival events of our country. Keeping the main priorities in expansion of the Satellite Town Purbachal by incorporating sustainable practices, and prioritizing accessibility, the project endeavors to contribute to the cultural vitality and urban resilience of Dhaka's evolving cityscape.Item RE-LIVING THE MEMORY OF BHAWAL RAJBARI THROUGH ADAPTIVE RE-USE AND CREATING AN URBAN COMMUNITY HUB, GAZIPUR(DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE, 2022-03-01) YEAMIN (201732020), RAFSANAItem RE-LIVING THE MEMORY OF BHAWAL RAJBARI THROUGH ADAPTIVE RE-USE AND CREATING AN URBAN COMMUNITY HUB, GAZIPUR(2022-03) YEAMIN, RAFSANAThis experiment aims to make an experimental tool for the lab for control engineering students to make them understand what is modelling of a Spring-Mass-Damper and how to analyze the model. Anything may be modelled as a spring-mass-damper system, including mechanical and electrical analogue circuit simulations. Once a student knows how to model a spring-mass-damper system, how to analyze the data, how to get the answers and when they understand what happened to the dynamics when the spring or mass or the damping is changed, they will be able to implement the knowledge efficiently.Item REDESIGNING AN AUTOMOTIVE ASSEMBLY PLANT: BARABKUNDA, CHATTOGRAM(2022-03) FAIZA, RIFAHThe automobile industry in Bangladesh is a developing industry with a possibility of a promising future after the successful journey of the apparel industry. An automobile assembly plant with full completely knocked down (CKD) kits, which is a complete kit needed to assemble a product, production capacity will not only improve the economic condition of our country but also meet up the increasing demand of vehicle of our people at a lower cost and provide huge employment opportunity. A well-equipped CKD assembly plant that will be able to assemble the vehicle entirely without the help of third party can significantly reduce the cost of vehicles. Hence the assembly plant will require a highly functional and efficient design that can meet up the current demand of vehicles and accommodate all modern technology and facilities for the plant to run efficiently and research facility for future development of the plant and its technologies.Item REDESIGNING AN AUTOMOTIVE ASSEMBLY PLANT: BARABKUNDA, CHATTOGRAM(DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE, 2022-03-01) FAIZA (SN. 201732021), RIFAHThe automobile industry in Bangladesh is a developing industry with a possibility of a promising future after the successful journey of the apparel industry.

In this country the acts acknowledged as ‘crime’ and the punishments enforced upon convict for their wrongdoing have been very brutal, harsh and inhumane in every way through out its time. But at present-day an attempted to utilize discipline for directing positive ‘norms’ as an alternative than frightening has been started. The prison system is to build into a rehabilitation system which will enable an individual to be civilized and contributing towards the society while re-entering. A convicted person can be turned into positively motivated and disciplined individual through Architectural reconsideration in space, spatial impact and organized arrangement. With changing time, the attitude for the correction facilities of these people has to be changed to have a better and civilized society.Item RETHINKING THE DWELLING PATTERNS OF DELIPARA: PROSPECT DEVELOPING A SELF SUSTAINING COMMUNITY(2022-03) MATIN, NOWSHIN SHREOSHILiving along the coast of the Bay of Bengal is the Hindu Jele Das community. ‘Jele’ means fisher folk. They work with traditional methods, which they have learned from their ancestors. The fisherfolk belong to a special sect of Hindus - ‘Das’, meaning slave. They believe themselves to be slaves of water. Their choice of profession isn’t simply due to their proximity to the ocean; it is intertwined with their belief, which dictates their lifestyle. However, traditional fishing communities and practices have been neglected for decades, leading the Jele Das community into poverty. The Jele Das community is currently living along the coast of the Salimpur district in Bangladesh. Their historic ties to this site make it a viable choice for the project. The exposed coast makes the Jele Das vulnerable to natural disasters. However, they have learned to accept this uncertainty for their love of fishing. Adjacent is a ship breaking yard. Issues faced on different scales lead to the involvement of local government, NGO, and the local community. Finally, the community’s finance, regulated by the NGO, will instill feelings of ownership within individuals in material form. This financial involvement brings individuals closer to being involved in the design process. This is in two spectrums: emotional and physical. As the design is experimented in paper and models, their individual opinions and requirements become parameters. These parameters are investigated by exploring the following; individual and community aspirations, cultural and religious views, what strengths and limitations the community members possess as individuals and community. Physical involvement as local laborers in construction ties them to the process and provides financial relief. This community finds itself at the intersection of tradition and modernity, challenged by both the natural and manmade worlds. The design process highlights and works on this dilemma, creating the possibility of multi-dimensional resiliency.Item RETHINKING THE DWELLING PATTERNS OF DELIPARA: PROSPECT OF DEVELOPING A SELF SUSTAINING COMMUNITY(2022-03-01) Matin 201732017), NOWSHINItem REVIVING THE GOLD OF BENGAL DESIGN OF A JUTE TRAINING INSTITUTE AND EXHIBITION CENTRE, NARAYANGANJ.(2022-03) YASMIN, SYEDA ZARINJute, the golden fibre has played an emergent role in the economic growth of Bangladesh. It has a golden history and tradition in Asia. Jute is one of the foremost imperative common strands that hold the moment position after the cotton within the sum of production. From antiquated times jute is developed within the Indian Sub-continent. During that time jute leaf was utilized as it were a vegetable and as an herb. Till presently India and Bangladesh are the two fundamental nations to deliver most of the jute in the world. Bangladesh (East Bengal) secured 70 to 80% of the world jute showcase till the year 1947-48 which drop down to 25% within the year 1975 as other nations within the world expanded the generation of Jute and the utilize of counterfeit strands. The upgraded financial opportunity at the side natural benefits, the jute training, and working will amplify that will make more work opportunity. As of now, in Bangladesh, almost twenty-five million people are related specifically and by implication to the jute industry. Currently, the market for traditional jute products is reducing due to competition with different cheaper goods produced from synthetic and polypropylene. In addition, people are discouraged for not getting the proper value of it and have to stay in an unhealthy workspace. However, experts fear the possibility of further growth in this sector is diminishing due to various global and regional factors. The project will ensure a sustainable working and training environment for motivating the weavers and exhibit fusion products of jute to promote and increase the market value all over the world.Item REVIVING THE MUD-ART:(2022-03) SANTO, SHARIAR ALAMMud-Art has always been a significant element of every nation’s art & culture especially in this sub-continent. Bangladesh to be precise, as a sub continental area is also not far behind. In fact, our country is enriched with rich cultural history in this particular segment. Traditionally being one of the ancient and known rural industries in Bangladesh, it is the semi largest source of rural employment and income after agriculture and is responsible for a very high percentage of the nation's economy. However, today, this prospective commerce is at the edge of extinction because of various obligations and obstructions, which force the potters to leave their ancestors profession, clay crafting. Glorious past, confusing present and questionable future; is the ultimate harsh truth that clay craft is facing now. This project discusses about the possible way chosen for the benefit of the artisans’ community by taking inspiration from the past and implementing it for the future. It’s like an institution within itself which benefits the entire complex as one unified whole. This interaction center, informal shield and accommodating of the craftsman’ language is basically an interactive platform for the welfare of the potters’ community, and in greater aspect for the entire country.Item REVIVING THE MUD-ART: RESETTLEMENT OF KAKRAN KUMAR PARA, DHAMRAI(DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE, 2022-03-01) SANTO, SHARIAR ALAM; SANTO (201732022), SHARIAR ALAMMud-Art has always been a significant element of every nation’s art & culture especially in this sub-continent.

ZAHIRUL ISLAMItem SUSTAINABLE HOUSING FOR COAL MINE WORKERS: BARAPUKURIA COAL MINE VILLAGE, DINAJPUR(2022-02) EMON, MEHEDI HASAN“SUSTAINABLE HOUSING FOR COAL MINE WORKERS: BARAPUKURIA COAL MINE VILLAGE, DINAJPUR” is a housing project for Barapukuria Coalmine Company employees. A trip to northern Bengal villages made me notice how Bangladesh's rural vernacular has undergone a dramatic shift over the past few decades and inspired me to develop a "village" as my thesis project. The project site is situated in Diaper, Barapukuria, in a village named Dhulaudal. The place, there the mild nature is the force to play with, has become an important component from which the project's master plan can be created. The project is like a journey that began with the aim of understanding the morphology of the rural vernacular, from a small living unit to the pattern in which the rural vernacular is understandable from a small living unit to the pattern in which the paddy fields, forests, little villages are composed to create the unique artwork of nature. The design focus of the master plan should be to compose the components in such a way that the spaces are demarcated but blended into each other and produce a flow that opens into the current stream, while the existing forest penetrates into the site and merges with the site's landscape. The idea of unit design might be to create a unit as the core of the household surrounding a court, then replicate this unit pattern and modify it to create patterns for the clusters to present users with different but interesting open space levels.
