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.

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.

TRADITIONAL BENGAL TEMPLE Rooftype - Dochala , Chouchala

Small Garbhagriho surrounded by open Pradkkhin path

Proposed Temple

In contrast of traditional dark & gloomy approach, the Gorbhogriho of the temple provides a well-lit shaft channeling the light through a more simplified version on Bengal Temple Shikhara indicative of clear and open attitude of the architectural intervention. 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
