Future of the Past
Old Dhaka has been mercilessly
transforming into an uninhabitable place with increased population, lack of
proper building construction and vision. Plots are increasingly dividing into
smaller units as traditional cluster families and breaking down into nucleus
families. The wonderful, historical old Dhaka is getting crammed and
disarrayed, fast losing its cultural ambiance, traditional morphology and human
quality.
Traditionally there were four
places that were sociologically significant. A library for knowledge, a
gymnasium for physical fitness, a grocery store for daily needs and a tea stall
for brain storming in deed. Unfortunately with the passage of time these
disappeared. The society, particularly the young generations have almost lost
their sharing and focus of social activity. This gradually led our society a
lack of good mental and physical health and in the end the humanity.
This 6107 sqft five storied
commercial project is on a 1506 sqft land area. The project idea is to face the
challenge of the future inspired by the past, making this small building a
place for enlightenment and abundant desire for the community.
On the street level apart from
the car park and service core, only 14’ by 12’ area was left which has been
sunken 10’ below the ground level to make it double height space, part of the
810 sqft library area. Here, absence of floor on the ground level adjacent to
the main Sutrapur road creates a sense of sudden tranquility in the dense old
Dhaka.
While the first and second floor
is kept for grocery and gymnasium, the third and fourth floor is a traditional
tea stall transformed. The abrupt dense green patch on the opposite of the plot
across the road is a rare view. The arrangement of the water body collected
from the rain water through a traditional collecting horn, top hang glass
window (inspired by traditional “Japi”), the setting of the furniture and
traditional foods along with the use of floor, ceiling material, mix of
concrete with steel structure, use of solar panels adds to the large old
building photograph on the interior wall making the building a “future of the
past”.
