LOW-INCOME HOUSING

A Sustainable High-Density Social Housing on Treasure Island, San Fransisco, CA

Studio 601 I 2025

Group project

Responsibility: Site and context analysis, formulation of cluster and unit design, masterplan formulation etc

Supervisor : Dr. Stathis G. Yeros

Site : Treasure Island, San Francisco, USA

Site Area : XX Acres

Around 3,000 residents live on the island, yet its history and geography present significant environmental and social challenges. The research highlights multiple risks that must be addressed in any future development. Three strategies that were used to address the concerns: reforming the entire shoreline; bringing it in, placing new structures on an elevated concrete platform, and introducing a lake around the elevated landscape with channels leading into it.

To foster a more integrated community environment, the building adopts a hexagonal form, creating interconnected residential spaces. The design features large courtyards spaces placed between units that encourage interaction and connectivity among residents. A medical facility are incorporated directly into our housing building with its own designated parking landscape. Additionally, space were allocated on the site designated to provide certain amenities to the island. This space includes retail and social amenities. By incorporating these fa-

Marginalization is a process whereby something or someone is pushed to the edge of a group accorded lesser importance. This is predominantly a social phenomenon by which a minority or a sub-group is excluded, and their needs or desires are ignored. Such a group is denied involvement in mainstream economic, political, cultural and social activities.

Even if sex work is not illegal in Bangladesh according to the High Court which has declared about it’s legal status based on Constitution of Bangladesh (in 2000 and 2014), these groups are socially detached and living in enclosed boundaries for decades. Social ignorance as well as unacceptability has pushed them to the corner, having an unplanned, unorganized as well unhygeenic living condition. The Thesis mainly focuses on detailed study of existing physical and non-physical structure of the system runs in Bangladesh. Daulatdia is the largest brothel village of the country opening around 1988 (unofficially for decades prior) where 1300 sex workers reside and serve more than 600 clients on a daily basis.

Group project

Responsibility: Site survey, formulation of design and preparation of drawing, model making etc

Supervisor : Dr. Shayer Gofur, Asst. Prof. Mohammad Tahajibul Hossain, Lec. Nusrat Ishtiaque Jahan

Site : Hobuarchala, Gosaibari, Gazipur

Site Area : 43 Acres

Sal forest is a forest type dominated by a single plant species, commonly known as Sal tree (Shorea robusta). It belongs to the category ‘Tropical Moist Decidious Forest’.

Continuous unplanned deforestation for human need, as well as spread of scattered settlement through the area has been detrimental to the forest ecology just within last 100 years. Where the forest occupies most of the land is now squeezing drastically.

The Prime objective of the project was to save the forest land, proposing a compact rural settlement which will coexist with the forest and maintain harmony and bio-diversity. The another objective was to study the common rural settlement pattern of Bangladesh, and see how ideas of ‘Compact township’ can provide better opportunities and create a more sustainable future for a agricultural economy oriented country which is suffering to accommodate its huge population.

Design decissions were made with precision to ensure that the proposing settlement pattern do not compromise with the essence of rural life, but promotes opportunity for future development.

‘Compact Township’ is a highly notable idea from Economist Professor Salim Rashid. The idea is basically a futuristic planning approach of rural settlements, where a number of ‘settlement units’ will be formed with basic facilities along with housing. They will replace the existing scattered rural homestead, and preserve valuable cultivable land and will be flood resilient.

The design idea is highly inspired from the compact township theory, applying the concept in ethnic rural village, Hobuarchala, Gosaibari to preseve the cultivable land along with Sal forest land around.

The site is part of the famous Madhupur tract. This valuable Sal forest is getting captured by unscattered settlements and illegal encroachments. Now only 600 sq km of the forest is left alone, whereas it was double in size just 100 years before spreading from northern bengal to comilla. This continuous deforestation has serious enviromental threats. The under ground water level and bio-diversity is decreasing day by day.

The enormous expansion of Dhaka City is the most conspious features of Madhupur Track/ Sal forest. The growth of the city has given birth to numerous small urban areas, in nearest future which will be absorbed into the expanding city.

Scattered settlements causing severe harm to the forest. One of them is excessive road infrustructure demand between built structures to connect those villages that set apart from each other.

Site Area : 3.5 Acres

Shahbag is one of the prime node of Dhaka. The propsed site for the project is only 250 m away from the node and sorrounded by Ramna park on three sides of it. The initial idea behind the project was to propose a form creates a barrier between the noisy road on the south and the park on the north. So, the linear mass is introduced throughout the site and a portion of it is burried under ground to blend it with natural canopy level. A series of exposed column is used to regain its verticality and resemble with the sorrounding vertical lines of trees. The swimming pool is placed to devide the north side of the linear mass into two courts. A entry court was designed towards the park to create a inviting entry for the park users on one side. while the other court is reserved as meditation court which has a restricted entry from the building itself.

Placing a mass (north-south oriented) parralal to the road to create separation from busy chaos outside

Adding another mass 45 deg to the previous to create a warm court, entrace from the park.

Thus a interior court is formed as well.

Deforming the mass by pushing back and forth to make the court (entry from park) more open for visitors.

Site : Bomu river zone, Bandarban

Site Area : 0.6 Acres

The Mru are primarily located in the region where the bo rders of India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar intersect. There are more than 300 thousand Mro/Murong/Mru Tribal people in Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), mostly in Banda rban, Bomu River zone, Bangladesh. Pawmum Tharkla aspires to develop a self-sustainable, eco-friendly education system in remote hill tract areas for Mro tribe, where the indigenous heredity is preserved and promoted with modern resources. The concept shows respect for their ethnicity and aspires to educate tribal children with lessons and facilities to sustain and prosper with good health. This primary school promotes a unique concept of eco-friendly school compound construction with local/ indigeneous materials and zero concrete based structure. Along with regualr classroom for class iii-v which can be transformed into exhibition space or workshop by positioning partition walls, two open classroom is introduced for class i & ii which will also serve the community requirement for medical campaign, movie projection space etc. The structure aims to blend with the terrain and the sorrounding landscape and reflects the purity and ethnicity of the Mro community with fushion of modern technology.

Bamboo Treatment

Treating bamboo can increase material service life radically, to the extent that there is no distinguishable life limit when bamboo is well treated and used in a well-protected manner.During the treatment process, material is soaked in a mixture of Borax and Boric acid that are dissolved in water. Borates are extremely fine, dissolving easily and dissipating throughout the cellular structure of the poles. The chemical solution, which is toxic to bamboo but is relatively harmless to humans. is then filtered and reused to ensure an efficient. The rest of the chemical then moved to the nearest town to ensure environment safety.

All the bamboo used in the project was picked from nearest bamboo farm that comforted required standards -including bamboo species, size, age and general condition. Approved specimens were then cut into a general size of 25’-30’ and transported to the project site.

After recieving at site, bamboo’s with required quality were being sorted and transfered to the cleaning station. The outer portion of the nodes and branches were removed using sharp machete with the blades flat against the bamboo, away from the body.

After cleaning each one to expose its vascular tissue, bamboos were moved to the final stage prior to soaking -drilling. Labors, using drills fitted with custom drill bits made of an 13’ section od rebar with a sharp age crafted on the tip, applies steady pressure to drill a hole through teh full length.

A treatment tank was made on the groung by digging mud. The tank was 40’ long, 5’ deep and 8’ wide. The size of the tank allow approximately 150 pcs of bamboo at a time. A temporary shade was built with bamboo & thatch to protect it from sun and rain

Solution, a mixture of Borax ,Boric acid and water with appropriate proportion in presence of experts were made into the tank and then bamboo bundles, 15-20 peice bound by rope were transfered to the tank with properly weight down. Each cycle of soaking was done for 7-10 days before trafering them to prior drying.

Bamboo bundles, checked by experts were then tranfered to the nearest open ground for drying. Soaked bamboo’s were kept vertically with support to dry in sun so that the extra chemicals can easilty drained out and the dischared chemicals can be used efficiently.

The site chosen for the project is surrounded by farmlands. To the south is the village road connecting to the Bazar (Marketplace) and the localities. The flat landscapes also transform into small hillocks on the south, where there are indigenous settlements.The regional architecture of the southern part of Bangladesh and in the hill tracts are identical in the use of a series of open, semi-open and interior closed spaces; particularly for the hot-humid climatic features. The raised platform is a major architectural element in hill tracts, which helps here to let flow the rainwater on the ground coming down from the hills. The ponds surrounding the built form is introduced to create a buffer from sorrounding are well protected and used for fish and water lily farming, adding to the sustainability and versatility of the school. The school here, not only imagined as a typical one, consists of classrooms and fields. But as a utopian idea where children learn not only from books, but also from the nature surrounding it and practical knowledge like fishing or farming inside the school territory. Hence, openness and connection to the agricultural landscape was a key consideration. The foyer has a metaphorical hearth at the center which is meant to grow a tree inside the built form, to celebrate the local spirit of living close to nature.

Master Plan

To design and build for children, especially for those who have been brought up together in an orphanage is a very challenging and sensitive task. . It was needed to promote a regional language of architecture and inspire people living in the most remote places of the country to celebrate the beauty of local materials. The architectural quality we wanted to achieve is indigenous in both spatial and formal sense. Scope of sensible use of local material with new tecnics, ensured exchange and sharing of local knowledge and tecnics of construction.

The school building is a bamboo-built structure on a raised timber platform, measuring roughly 28 m x 13 m. The pavilion-like school is placed carefully along the waterbody in a way that it can have enough space for assembly and playing space on the front yard, and also have a visual connection with the surrounding water and farmlands. The classrooms are arranged in a staggered manner to open up two semi-outdoor study/ recreation areas on the front and back.

Chittagong is the economic capital of Bangladesh. Chittagong Cantonment plays a vital role as it shared boundary with bandarban and Cox’s bazar, two most unstable potical areas of the country. So top officials of Bangladesh Army and Govt. officials as well as prime minister regualrly visits the city. So, a modern and well faciliated accomodation was needed by Bangladesh Army within the contoment area, which is just at the boarder line of the city. The project came to Mason Consultants as a most valuable project and I was in chage of the construction of the structure. As the cantonment was in the hilly region, natural terrain line has a greate influence to decide the site as well on the design.

Responsibility: Site survey, formulation of design and preparation of drawing

Site : Golpahar mor, Chittagong

Site Area : 0.33 Acres

To connect to people with their spiritual side, we arranged the temple plaza with respect to both Hindu & Bengal Culture. Opposed to the practice of following the South Indian stone-based temple architecture, our design was more influenced by brick terracotta-based Bengal Temple Architecture. To guide people via religious & cultural harmony, the architectural features helped developing some unique functions more relatable to our people but somehow losing its righteous place in recent religious spirit.

The temple plaza is designed in such a way that it not only encourages an individual to attend a religious ritual but also helps to be engaged in social interaction. The open 2nd floor or the temple plaza is kept as an unobstructed open space, welcoming urban residents of the densely built city to enjoy a breathing space well above road level. Inspired from massive public plazas (like the Jama Mosque public plazain Delhi) the idea is to let people come and connect to reduce the religious hatred and polarization. Also the plaza along with large multipurpose hall, allows arranging festivals and gatherings.

The Pradakshina path and Parikrama path is well decorated with Teracotta work, which exhibits deity statue as well Hindu mythologiacl stories and cultural values of the community

GOLPAHAR KALIMANDIR

As one of the most prominent & old temple complexes of Chattogram, Golpahar Mohashawshan Temple has a duty to strengthen the bond among people of different culture. We believe, the more we explore our visions & ideas, be open to each other, the more we become helpful & understanding towards other people.

Responsibility: Site survey, formulation of design and preparation of drawing, model making, etc

Site : Dhaka City, Dhaka

The Streetscape project was thrown by Dhaka South City Corporation with the motive to make liveable city ensuring better walking environment with smoth traffic flow in the city heart without disturbing its urban fabric and urban heritage, as well rebuilding the ecological coridor within it. Designing street, instead of looking at CITYSCAPE first, we started to explore its HUMANSCAPE. People are the grain and the soul of the city. Collectively caried range of communities with different shared interest, joys & concerns build up for this city. TO be a resilient city, community is the most primary unit to reinforce. ACTIVE, AWARE & RAPPORT communities can be a resourceful partner for the city-authority to drive for being an ideal urban-scape. Street will be the interface in this partnership between Authority, Community and Nature. That will be the Model Resilient Adaptive Dhaka for the coming decades.

Main Design Princeple

• Street based community ecology & Active Living

• Framework to allow self-growth

• Local community based programme

• Integrating Nature & Community

• Partnership of City-Govt.and Community

Any community should be well aware of its past. Dhanmondi 32 is such an historic name which ends up in the site’s Russel Square. Located here Bangabandhu Residence is metaphoric in many terms: The inception-place of many ideas of our nation-building and workstation of the great leader. House of Bangabandhu family: a picture of our family and social bonding. Bears the marks of both rejoices (nation-building) and mourns (assassination of nation’s leader and his family) of our history.
