BUILD BANGLADESH HOUSING-RESIDENTIAL
BEHIND ALL HOUSING PROJECTS THERE WERE NOBLE INSPIRING IDEAS BUT NOT ALL HOUSING PROJECTS ENDED UP BEING SUCCESSFUL. IN FACT, SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IN MODERN AGE RESULTED IN UTTER FAILURE. HIGH CRIME RATES AND DRUG ABUSE PREVAILED, PARTICULARLY IN THOSE ISOLATED FROM THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES AND WITHIN. LIKE MANY OTHER PRECEDENTS, WE ENVISIONED TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE INTERACTIVE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE NOW THE CENTER OF HEALTHY URBAN LIFE. IN OUR PROPOSAL FOR BUILD-BANGLADESH; WE TRIED TO ADDRESS LOCAL FORCES (I. E. CULTURAL, CLIMATIC, AVAILABLE BUILDING MATERIAL & CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGIES AND ECONOMIC) TO ENSURE “INTERACTIVE NEIGHBORHOODS”. WE MADE AN EXTENSIVE RESEARCH (FROM AVAILABLE RESOURCES IN HANDS) ON HOUSING SOLUTIONS FROM LAST TWO HUNDRED YEARS. THESE CHERRY- PICKED EXAMPLES HAD IMPACT IN THE EVOLUTION OF HOUSING OVER THE TIME. THESE HOUSING SOLUTIONS ARE PRIMARILY FROM EUROPE & AMERICA. MOREOVER, WE ANALYZED AVAILABLE HOUSING SOLUTIONS AROUND THE WORLD IN THE REGIONS WHERE SIMILAR CLIMATE EXISTS (FAIRLY ON THE TROPICAL BELT). WE LOOKED INTO THE ASPECT OF FORCES/ CONDITIONS THAT INFLUENCED HOUSING PROPOSITIONS/REACTIONS BY ARCHITECTS AND NON-ARCHITECTS. AND ALSO CHECKED WHAT CONDITIONS MADE THESE PROJECTS FULLY SUCCESSFUL, PARTIALLY SUCCESSFUL OR FAILURE. IN OUR DESIGN PROPOSAL, WE TRIED TO ACCOMMODATE VALUES (OR FEATURES; OR STRATEGIES; OR POLICIES) THAT CAN MAKE THIS PROPOSAL A SUCCESSFUL ONE AND WE CAREFULLY TRIED TO AVOID ISSUES THAT CAN MAKE IT A FAILURE ONE.
