Bangabandhu Multipurpose Complex

This project aims to build relationships with people by arranging the space based on the amenities of the location, and the shops should provide good services and products to the public so that they can enjoy the area. To make the area more livable, social, economic, and neighborhood concerns have been addressed. The neglected space is combined with an active commercial area by connecting the entire site view and recreational space via an improved plaza.
The site is located at Laldighirpar, Bandar Bazar, Sylhet, in front of Hasan Market. The challenge was to consider the universal commercial and responsive approach, as well as the user's demands, in order to design a plaza that connects a market block and commercial complex, creating a strong connection with the market and a large visual connection with the park. Explore and foster design creativity by creating sensitive spaces, structures, and landscapes for social and user needs. The architectural decoration enhances the beauty of the location. An entrance plaza that is raised to block vehicle entry while also providing a new spatial identity for pedestrian circulation is a unique feature.
The concept of creating connections along the path creates a playful public space and livable space for the user. Public spaces are designed around the concept of place-making and to meet the needs of the user. There is a method for modifying dynamic destinations that makes urbanism work while providing a desirable journey as a destination. The design was created by conducting traffic and pedestrian surveys and prioritizing pedestrians. As a result, visitors are more relaxed and secure on the site. The space, volume, and form were designed with the type of enclosure and circulation patterns in mind, as well as the nature of the integration of built and open spaces with their surroundings.
