An interpretation center is a specially designed structure or space where individuals or a group of visitors come to learn about the history, background, cultural values, and traditional impacts of a place or context. Any place's tangible values could be perceived by understating the context, topographical attributes, and related functional activities. And intangible values of the place or context could be comprehended through visualizations, displays, and interactions with relevant documents. Ramna Park, one of the largest park and recreation areas of Dhaka city, is significant for historical, traditional, and contextual values in the history of Bangladesh. The historical root of this park dates back to the Mughal era. Chronologically the morphology of the park has been changed; however, its cultural and cordial connection with the city dwellers has remained unchanged! By providing oxygen through the lush green and breathing spaces, this place is continuously contributing to escape from urban anxiety and claustrophobia. From a local morning walker to the helpless urban poor, this place always welcomes and treats its guests with its soothing landscape. Occasionally events like "Pahela Baishakh" take place that increases the cultural prospects and potentiality of the place! The project aims at the ethnic diversity, and functional features of Ramna Park, through architectural expression and spatial arrangements.

In a central location on the Delft University of Technology campus, the educational building ECHO was proposed in 2017. The construction is designed to offer maximum flexibility. A superstructure is placed on 8 fixed “table legs” serving as cores, containing lifts, stairwells, shafts, toilets and other technical areas. The amphitheatre and large lecture rooms are separate from the primary supporting structure, ensuring the entire building can be delivered column-free and is highly flexible in terms of its layout and for future adaptations in education. For the façade a vertical modular sawtooth profile has been chosen, closed on one side and transparent on the other. The closed side makes it possible to connect flexible walls to the façade in the future. The sun-oriented roof also consists of a sawtooth profile, incorporating PV panels, which continue onto the façade. Echo has a powerful all-round appearance. The central atrium creates a fluid connection between inside and outside: a real Living Campus! A healthy and pleasant interior climate forms the basis for a good working and learning environment. This is based on individual controllability, good ventilation, acoustic absorption and pleasant light levels. Echo gets pleasant daylight entry through the use of north-oriented shed roofs, high vertical glass sections in the sawtooth facade and a recessed transparent plinth at ground level. A large void in the middle of ECHO ensures that daylight penetrates deep into the building. High sustainability ambitions in this assignment require an integrated approach and ECHO should become truly energy neutral, a challenging task that we have tackled with a strategy based on the motto: “calculate first, then draw”. We have chosen to make a compact building with a relatively limited glass percentage across all floors. Smart building technologies have been implemented in ECHO with a “sensory network” throughout the building, which tracks data about the indoor climate, occupancy and visitor flows over time. Via Analytics, data can be processed into valuable information about the operation costs of the building. Via the façade, ECHO functions as a kind of wind-driven cooler in the intermediate and winter season and as a heat harvester in the summer. By applying low glass percentages and a minimal investment in PV panels, we keep the environmental impact low. The loose and permanent design can look at the use of circular materials and products, in order to respond to flexibility in use, adaptations to the changing future and sustainability.
The entire building is completely demountable and can be easily modified for ever-changing needs, as all building’s components can be upcycled in a circular manner. It is worth noting the building's structural elements also act as a frame for external face simultaneously, what reduces costs and carbon footprint at the production stage. One of the most important design assumptions is to cover the entire building with extensive greenery creating the mobile urban garden, what is the response to the air quality in Milan. For this purpose, a wooden second-skin façade is equipped with 657 movable boxes with plants. It naturally filters and diffuses daylight and thus prevents glare for users. It also further strengthens the relationship between the interior and the surrounding park. The extensive implementation of greenery on the roof, as well as around the building improves its microclimate, reduces heat loss, and prevents overheating of the plants itself. It is possible due to the chimney effect (the outflow of the warm air from behind the plants), which appears in the space between the green façade and the plants. It also filters the air, what is the answer to predominantly moderate air quality in Milan. Moreover, it creates the mobile urban garden that can be inhabited by local fauna, e.g., birds and butterflies. Thus, the building is enriched with solutions encouraging interaction not only between its users, but also with nature. For this purpose, the second-skin facade is designed in such a way that it can serve for people of all ages in multiple ways: as a background for events, illumination, exhibition, open-air cinema or climbing wall.

PROJECT BRIEF: This project is located at Tajuddin Ahmed’s birthplace Kapasia, Gazipur, Bangladesh. This site is a part of his home, with existing residences, a school, mosque, school field & a pond. I divided his life’s timeline into four major parts like “British Period”, “Pakistan Period”, “Liberation War”, “Bangladesh Period”. Every period I saw some change in his life gain and loss. My design conceptual development was built on the basis of his speech. He was a disciplined man with his commitment and work for the people from his soul. My idea was to find him by his great work and his historical journey of glorious victory. So, my concept is I I Journey Through a Glorious Victory I I We find Tajuddin Ahmad by his contribution to the nation-building, which would be showing respect for his contribution. By knowing a leader like him and his philosophy, personality, and leadership our future leader will be inspired. His goal was fixed, to do something for the nation and history find him out. So, I created an axis through the site which I represent as his life’s timeline and some volume with the axis that will be his life journey through history. I created some green slopes to blend the built form with nature like the personality of Tajuddin Ahmad. From the entry of the site, people saw only green slop at the front and the axis at the back, and the green natural beauty of the forest as a backdrop. I create a continuous water body with five gallery spaces. Water is used to imitate the deltaic landscape of Bangladesh as well as a guiding element. Water channels and the sound of water flow guide the visitors to the end of the journey- a terminal to evoke a sensual emptiness that reminds the absence of Tajuddin Ahmad. We walk through his life’s timeline and in the end, we lost him. When people go to “Galley 05” they show the darkest history of our nation, the leaders who navigate us to find a new nation we present their brutal death. The “Hall of Remembrance” feels the historical ambiance of losses & sacrifice. A screen of life's timeline of the political journey of Tajuddin Ahmed’s created for the visitor in front of “Hall of Remembrance”. Creating a pathway with the existing residence and other structures. So, visitors can visit the existing residence of Tajuddin Ahmad where he has been raised.
