Description

A series of uninterrupted courtyards, starting from 'Uthon' and progressing to 'Angan', 'Prangon', and 'Prantor', synthesize the concept. Water and foliage serve as the organizing principle, arranging residential facilities on a raised mound that naturally slopes towards the water channels surrounding the site. The walkways and driveway, would conveniently connect the houses, demarcating the transitional edge of the campus compound and beholding the amenity lines (electricity, gas, water, telephone, cable TV, etc.) embedded within to ensure a planned service line network for the campuses.

The design responds to the climate—the intense heat of certain seasons and the driving monsoons, the breezing spring with'moushumi blow of wind' and the floral bright sunny days of autumn. The residential buildings, which should not be concentrated in a singular multi-story building, as one might consider in the west, are rather clustered of limited height (single to two stories) woven together by a social corridor protected from the rain, but open to the elements. Water, shade, and the integration of plant life into the architecture—common themes in the architecture of the region should form the framework for the syntax of the architecture. Above all, the design must facilitate and encourage interaction between homemakers, neighbors, and the surrounding community.
