They must work as practical vessels that facilitate complex municipal tasks each day, but cannot avoid their secondary function: to stand as advertisements for the cities they are situated in and form a telling metaphor for the city council’s relationship with their civilian population. The issue can be achieved by designing buildings and external spaces that more closely integrate administrative buildings with the public realm. At present the Dhaka North City Corporation is functioning in a multistoried building situated in Gulshan-2 circle. The office currently owns only 25% of the building and the rest is rented-out commercial space which does not belong to DNCC authority. Such a limited space is not sufficient for a city corporation head office to function. . The project is to design a fully functional headquarter building for Dhaka North City Corporation, providing maximum facilities for the municipal authority to function, as well as for the citizens to visit and enjoy having a space for their own: their Nagar Bhaban. To carry out this research, the researcher had to study the relevant literatures such as: History of City halls, Birth of Democracy, Concept of City halls, Role of City Halls in the life of citizens, local and international case studies, standard studies from BNBC etc. DHAKA NORTH CITY CORPORATION 2022-03-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.mist.ac.bd:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/1002 RETHIKING THE AMBIENCE OF PRISON DESIGN OF A DISTRICT JAIL, THAKURGAON. ALAM, MOHAMMAD ASHRAFUL The ideas of crime and discipline have continuously been a portion of culture in Bangladesh all through its records. In this country the acts acknowledged as ‘crime’ and the punishments enforced upon convict for their wrongdoing have been very brutal, harsh and inhumane in every way through out its time. But at present-day an attempted to utilize discipline for directing positive ‘norms’ as an alternative than frightening has been started. The prison system is to build into a rehabilitation system which will enable an individual to be civilized and contributing towards the society while re-entering. A convicted person can be turned into positively motivated and disciplined individual through Architectural reconsideration in space, spatial impact and organized arrangement. With changing time, the attitude for the correction facilities of these people has to be changed to have a better and civilized society.

HASIBUL HASAN In this thesis, the study of the problems the visually impaired people face in various environments and the architectural solutions to minimize them are described. Architectural practice has long been dominated by the sight. While architects consider universal access in most cases, consideration of the experience of a disabled person inside the building is yet to be practiced in mainstream architectural practice. There has not been much recognition of the growing understanding of the multisensory nature of the human mind that has emerged from the field of cognitive neuroscience research. Persons with disabilities are more likely to experience economic and social disadvantages than those without disabilities. Regarding this issue, there are no fully equipped disabled centers in Bangladesh. The design process considers the suitability of the site, and necessary functions and the main aim of the project is to make people conscious of universal accessibility and make blind children a part of our social and cultural activity which will, in turn, make these children more strong, honest and self-confident. The visually impaired children need education and proper guidance to live independently. Thus, the importance of this project cannot be neglected as it will uplift a part of the society which has been held back because of the lack of proper training. Architecture has the power to create a specific space for them and change their lives. This center will aim to better the lives of these visually impaired children who are greatly neglected.

The aim of Juvenile Detention Center is to rehabilitate and protected young offenders from adult offender’s influence. The main goal of this space is to treat young offenders to a point where they are less tempted to repeat their delinquent behavior and they become productive members of society. To achieve this, a number of smaller goals listed. The juveniles organize in smaller groups and the designed space organize according to the cycle of time that they have to spend in this complex. The space also must have the quality to influence and motivated them to rethink about their life and give them a hope and light to see the right track of life. This thesis interrogates Juvenile Correctional and Rehabilitation facilities as an architectural typology, and explores their design philosophy and its effects. It investigates the architectural and spatial ualities that can facilitate the rehabilitation of young offenders. Juvenile Correction and Rehabilitation Center 2022-03-01T00:00:00Z
