The document describes the Tara Housing Group project in New Delhi, India. It was designed to provide affordable housing for middle-class families in a suburb of New Delhi. The design arranged single-family flats into united blocks around a central garden. This preserved privacy while providing access to shared open space. Each unit had an open terrace and maximized natural light and ventilation. While successful for its time, the design faces challenges today in accommodating increased living standards and development regulations around services, density, parking, and unit sizes. However, the social aspects of community space, interaction, and comfort remain relevant lessons for contemporary housing.
The Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre in Baku, Azerbaijan was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. It uses a combination of a concrete structure and space frame system to achieve large column-free interior spaces under its curved exterior. The space frame enabled construction of the free-form structure and uses vertical elements absorbed by the envelope. Reinforced concrete is used for shear walls and foundations, while the space frame, concrete, and glass fiber reinforced polyester and concrete panels create the distinctive curved surface.
The Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center in Baku, Azerbaijan is a 57,519 square meter complex designed by architect Zaha Hadid and completed in 2012. The fluid, curved forms are meant to blur the lines between interior and exterior, avoiding sharp angles in favor of continuous surfaces. Key features include an auditorium, museum, library, and outdoor cultural plaza that connects to an underground parking garage. The building uses concrete, steel, and over 17,000 fiberglass panels to create its distinctive geometric shapes and provide an immersive experience for visitors.
Charles Correa was an Indian architect known for his sensitivity to the needs of the urban poor. He developed master plans for cities like Navi Mumbai that focused on decentralization into self-sufficient townships with residential neighborhoods organized by income level. At the micro level, his designs for low-income housing emphasized open-to-sky spaces, courtyards, and terraces to accommodate community needs within a limited footprint. His works show an adaptation of modernism to local culture through vernacular influences like tiled roofs, brick walls, and operable wooden louvers.

Critical regionalism is an architectural approach that counters placelessness in modern architecture by incorporating contextual forces to give a sense of place and meaning. It was first defined by Alexander Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre, and further developed by Kenneth Frampton. Critical regionalism adopts modern architecture's progressive qualities but also values responses particular to the local context, with emphasis on elements like climate, topography, and materials rather than visual styles. It differs from regionalism by consciously engaging with universal principles rather than directly copying vernacular architecture. Examples of critical regionalism include works by Alvar Aalto, Jørn Utzon, and other architects who mediated universal and local influences.

Cahndigarh City & Housing
Chandigarh is one of the most significant urban planning experiments of the 20th century. It is the only one of the numerous urban planning schemes of Le Corbusier to have actually been executed. It is also the site of some of his greatest architectural creations. The city has had a far-reaching impact, ushering in a modern idiom of architecture and city planning all over India. It has become a symbol of planned urbanism. It is as famous for its landscaping as for its architectural ambience. Most of the buildings are in pure, cubical form, geometrically subdivided with emphasis on proportion, scale and detail. It was one of the early planned cities in post-independent India and is internationally known for its architecture and urban design. The master plan of the city was prepared by Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, which transformed from earlier plans created by the Polish architect Maciej Nowicki and the American planner Albert Mayer. Most of the government buildings and housing in the city, were designed by the Chandigarh Capital Project Team headed by Le Corbusier, Jane Drew and Maxwell Fry
The Peckham Library in London, UK was designed by Alsop & Stormer Architects and opened in 1999. It aims to challenge conceptions of libraries as intimidating spaces and create a welcoming community hub. The design features an L-shaped layout with a double-height reading room on the fourth floor providing views of the city. Enclosed pods on columns house meeting rooms, a children's area, and an Afro-Caribbean study center. Natural light and ventilation are maximized through a glass facade and open floor plan. The library aims to be a respite from the social challenges outside through its bright, sustainable design.

Notable folk songs, dances, puppet shows, foods, dresses, and festivals that are part of Bangladeshi cultural traditions are then described. The presentation concludes by noting the impact of globalization on diminishing some traditional aspects of Bangladeshi culture.
This document discusses the rendering styles of several famous architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Tadao Ando, Frank Gehry, Le Corbusier, and Renzo Piano. It explains that architectural rendering involves creating two-dimensional images of proposed architectural designs. The styles and preferred media of each architect are described, with some using hand-drawn techniques like watercolor and pencil, and others favoring computer-generated rendering. The document aims to highlight how individual architects have their own distinctive approaches to visualizing and presenting architectural designs.
Surrealism was an artistic movement that began in the early 1920s. It emphasized tapping into the subconscious mind to create dreamlike scenes and juxtapose unrelated objects. The founder was Andre Breton, who defined it as resolving the contradictions between dream and reality. Surrealist artists painted scenes with photographic precision but illogical elements, combining everyday objects in strange ways. The movement inspired other fields like film, literature, fashion and challenged conventional views of reality.

5. ABSTRACT
After the liberation war of Bangladesh there was no
development in architectural field.
But After that phase the country has developed a lot and still its
developing in every sector as well as in architecture.
It will be discussed the design and planning process of
some projects after liberation war to present time
throughout the whole presentation. The focus is to
analyze some major architectural features of some
projects according to decades and finding the evolution of
changing styles of architecture in our country.
6. The journey from the mud
house to high-rise was not easy
and not a matter of one day.
After Independence, the
purpose of architecture
was to give shelter to the
destitute country as soon as
possible.
7. Introduction
There was a pause of architectural practice after its birth but it started
from the beginning and did not stop till now. The country has
organized itself with ethically structures like The national parliament
and symbolical structures like The national martyrs’ memorial.
Spaces like Robindro Shorobor and urban planned city like Sher e
Bangla nagar is also there. Architects of this country have always
been motivated from its context and beauty of nature. While
designing they always consider the climate and environment of the
country. According to these factors they design different types of
openings, shades, landscape features.
8. Objectives
The main objectives of this study are as followed :
Analysis the works of different architects in
Bangladesh.
Analyzing the architects works by segmenting
those into some decades after liberation war.
To understand their design concepts.
To have a clear idea about architect’s design
according to the country’s context
chronologically.
To provide some general ideas and guidelines for
the future architects.

10. Case Study
Examples from 1970-1990
Architecture of Bangladesh
started its
journey by holding the hand of
Muzharul Islam .
He designed most of the
Major buildings of that time like
–
• Fine Arts Institute Of Dhaka
University
• Public Library
• National Library
• Zahangirnogor University
• Chittagong University
& more.
11. Examples from 1970-1990
National Library by Architect Muzharul Islam
In this project Muzharul Islam finds a way to be
harmonious with Kahn’s project and master plan and
this is reflected in its strong geometry configuration
and its choice of material.
Differs sharply from the skeletal quality of his
earlier projects, bringing a different quality of
geometric and spatial complexity.
The part of the Library began as a pure square from
which was slowly and deliberately distorted to
acknowledge the contradictory demands of climate,
place, and program.
The distortion of the idealized form itself became
the generator of architecture; from the compact square
core of the configuration, one proceeds towards the
periphery with its fissures, incisions, and cutouts.
12. Examples from 1970-1990
National Library by Architect Muzharul Islam
The seven-storey central volume supported
by concrete shear walls and housing the
concrete stacks, forms the core of the library.
On the north side it is supported by three-
story load-bearing brick structures.
The enveloping walls of the central volume
are cut away at the corners which continue
diagonally into the heart of the building;
serve to bring light into that heart as well as
to divide the building into separate functional
components.
Functional components are reading rooms
and display areas to the south, administration
and processing areas to the east, storage and
supporting facilities to the west.
16. Examples from 1970-1990
Bhatshala House by Architect Bashirul Haque
Blending in spontaneously with its context
it is an example of eco friendly vernacular
architecture.
It reflects the traditional approach in local
homesteads forming around a courtyard
which is semi enclosed on its north and
western borders by facades of sun baked
bricks.
There are arched columns formed of bricks
supporting the R.C.C roof.
This circulation space acts as a thermal
buffer in the preceding rooms.
This has been further accentuated by
having wooden louvered windows and doors
alongside the rooms.
17. Examples from 1970-1990
Bhatshala House by Architect Bashirul Haque
• The building has exposed brick
facades with a combination of arched
and rectangular linear openings.
• It is a load bearing structure on the
ground floor which continues up
until a portion of the 1stfloor. The
load bearing walls are primarily laid
by Flemish bonds with reinforcement
at regular intervals.
• Reinforcements are provided which
runs through RCC slabs to the brick
walls over which the wooden piers
are bolted on.
21. Examples from 1970-1990
National Parliament Building by Architect Louis I Kahn
The architect’s key design
philosophy was to represent
Bangladeshi culture and heritage,
while at the same time optimizing the
use of space.
The exterior of the building is
striking in its simplicity, with huge
walls deeply recessed by porticoes and
large openings of regular geometric
shapes.
The main building, which is at the
center of the complex, is divided into
three parts – the Main Plaza, South
Plaza and Presidential Plaza.
22. Examples from 1970-1990
National Parliament Building by Architect Louis I Kahn
An artificial lake surrounds three sides
of the main building of Jatiyo Sangsad
Bhaban, the use of water to portray the
riverine beauty of Bangladesh adds to
the aesthetic value of the site.
The key part of the Main Plaza is the
Parliament Chamber which has been
designed to make optimal use of natural
daylight, which is reflected from the
surrounding walls and octagonal drum
into the chamber.
To the north of the complex, visitors
will find the beautiful Crescent Lake and
Zia Uddan (Moonlight Park).
25. Examples from 1990-2000
Kalindi apartment by Bashirul Haque
He tried to create open spaces
around and in between the building.
The open spaces are used as a
base of different types of trees
around the building creating proper
ventilation within this apartment.
The boundary wall of this
apartment is also used as a base for
creepers
30. Examples from 1990-2000
Training And Resource Center BRAC(Rangpur) by Jalal Ahmed
• The program included an institute
block, trainee’s dormitory, ancillary
and multipurpose facilities, staff
accommodation and poultry shed.
• Uses of courtyards to hold the
traditional style.
• Brick as building materials were
extensively used to lower the
expenses.
• Traditional louvered doors and
windows ensure privacy and
effectively respond to the climate.
31. Examples from 1990-2000
Training And Resource Center BRAC(Rangpur) by Jalal Ahmed
.
Covered corridors around the enclosed and
semi enclosed courtyards are connected,
different functional blocks for smooth
functioning, during monsoon.
The courtyards for social-cultural
considerations segregate male-female trainee’s
blocks.
Brick as building materials were extensively
used to lower the expenses.
Traditional louvered doors and windows ensure
privacy and effectively respond to the climate
of tropical Bangladesh.
The orientation of the building group captured
the prevailing breeze from southeast.

34. Examples from 2000-2010
Chayanaut Bhaban by Bashirul Haque
This is the building which
incorporates greeneries and natural
sun light through open courtyard at
the central part of the building
providing natural air and light to all
rooms.
The road side fencing made up
with green bushes provides a
soothing look to the passersby.
At the ground level the set back
space and also a covered space is
allocated for greeneries.
38. Examples from 2000-2010
Bashundhara Shopping Complex by Mustapha Khalid Palash
The basic concept of the design originated from the intent
of creating a city within a city, which can be revealed by
identifying four distinctive constituency blocks, connected
by streets converging into the atrium.
Stepping into the Bashundhara City one turns inward onto
an entrance loft and finds an atrium acting as an indoor
plaza where all the vertical modes of transports, passage
spaces, and shops are organized and accessed.
This atrium of mass activities covered with a large-
scale glass dome depicting the creation of earth –
‘Bashundhara’ to connecting all the layers of podium
block sensationalized by soothing natural light
establishes the complex’s ultimate formal vocabulary.
39. Examples from 2000-2010
Bashundhara Shopping Complex by Mustapha Khalid Palash
Four transparent vaults are arranged
at the cardinal axis to reinforce the
sense of strong support to the sheer
inverted crown to facilitate a dramatic
encounter between the sky and
mundane.
The design utilizes a universal grid
and modular planning, consolidates
core services and optimizes building
support system to achieve a higher
flexibility and results in lowered
maintenance and operation costs.
40. Examples from 2000-2010
Bashundhara Shopping Complex by Mustapha Khalid Palash
Main entry to the shopping precinct through a
diaphanous facade facing the main street being inserted
into a larger plaza, located at the converging point where
vaulted skylights at cardinal alignments come together,
emphasizes the main axis of the complex. Secondary
entries and the stairways symbolically stand at the sides
of the complex to create symmetry and identify
secondary axis significant to the alignment of users
assembling in the precinct
The huge vaulted ‘awning’ covering the complex’s
entrance loft filtered by frame less transparent facade on
the south invites visitors into the complex and serves as
a formal entry into the shopping complex.
41. Examples from 2011 to Present
Friendship Center by Kashef Mahbub Chowdhury
He tried to create open spaces
around and in between the
building.
The open spaces are used as a
base of different types of trees
around the building creating
proper ventilation within this
apartment.
The boundary wall of this
apartment is also used as a base
for creepers

S.A residence by Shatotto
Considering the socio-economic conditions of Dhaka, it is kept
simple, with traditional spaces like the courtyard, pond, ghat
(steps to water) and ample Green to merge together urban and
rural typologies in this urban context.
An introverted design strategy was adopted, placing a water-
court as a swimming pond in the middle of the house to ensure
privacy.
It is the inter-relationship between form and void which is at the
heart of Lalon’s philosophy, the underlying inspiration for this
building. The open quad at the center depicts Nothingness.
The South and South-East have been designed to bring in cool
breeze during the hot, humid summers and the warmth of the sun
during the winters.
The central water court acts as a natural exhaust system,
allowing hot air to escape and making the middle court a cool
sanctuary.

Projects of this decade was
bringing different quality of
geometric and spatial
complexity.
Importance of light, openings
and circulation were most
concerning factors of this
decades projects.
Projects were symbol of
attraction of the public during
this decade.
This is the decade use of nature
and use of complex plan are seen.
A clear concept and bold
approaches were mostly
common.
A central open place or courtyard
was also remarkable during that
decade.
On one hand we can see the
green building and other hand
we can see the complex
buildings too.
In residence use of nature
elements are shown as well as in
the friendship center but there was
barely use of nature in the
shopping complex.
Considering the climate,
program and nature
architects used to design
very profoundly.
Doors and windows were
set according to the climate
direction and users purpose.
Uses of atrium to enter the
light in center core was
noticed.
There was simplicity as well
as complicating plan.

Uses of brick as traditional
material was very common.
Besides the use of RCC was also
noticeable.
Materials was used like before
decade brick, RCC.
Grid and modular plans were
seen.
Use of RCC with brick is found.
Green areas and courts were
there to make the designs Eco
friendly.
Steel structure and stained glass
was used as material.
Different roofs like vault and
dome was used
58.
59. Living in the present time we need
to know what was the past of the country's
architecture. According to this paper
different projects of different time period
is featured. There is residence projects as
well as training center and also shopping
complex projects. Each project is
examined by this design features and
considerations. All findings will be helpful
as a guidelines for the future architects.
