Chittagong is a southern city located in the tropical area of Bangladesh. The strong southwest wind flowing from the bay of Bengal and the year round scorching sun are two major considerations for the design. The use of “mathal,” a traditional hat that farmers in this region wear during harvesting to help protect them from rain and sun, helped to understand the design philosophy of this project. The use of layered parasols and gardens along with exposed concrete not only justify the climate, seismic situation, and lateral load as context, but also wins over the structural system and elements of nature.
