Low Cost Housing For Urban Poor || My Own Design Architectural Project

Hello everyone, good day ...

Normally I don't share my personal architectural project and may be I have shared 2-3 posts till now. Because I think, it's kind of boring sharing own project concept and design phase and everything. I completed my graduation on Bachelor of Architecture and worked 3 years in professional life.. I enjoyed every single day of my professional life ... Well, now you can ask me why I am here in Ukraine ?

Well, I will write that story oneday....

But today I am going to share one of my academic project with you guys...

Project Name : Low cost housing for Urban poor
Project Type : Housing / Architectural Project
Category : Master plan
Site Area : 9.5 acre
Population : 7000 (per acre population 736 )
Location : Boshila , Dhaka , Bangladesh

Concept :

" My concept was to make such a master plan so that urban poor can be connected with each other like a society. Also I have followed some rules and regulations plus in the end it was all about sustainability and following that I have provided space for vegetation so that they can cultivate vegetables and also put solar system to reduce some electricity budget. Providing a space for children , recreational space plus also I have created a space for women's activity."

Design Criteria :

In this design , I had to use minimum circulation because minimum circulation space helps to reduce construction cost. Vegetation opportunities, solar panel system and rain water preservation are included in design to make urban poor's life comfortable.

Also for older person and unemployed, they will get the opportunities to make some money by vegetation. Also a place for night school so that , they can have education as well. A mosque for prayer , a small hospital for health issue , a primary school for children.. Maintained by the Government... Also had to think about water supply , drainage and purifier...

Here is the overall birds eye view and master-plan of overall project. Most of the buildings are liner rectangular shape connected by straight line pathways. I tried to provide as much as space for vegetation and I tried to provide proper ventilation for each building. Also I have maintained climatic consideration according to Bangladesh.

Typical floor plan will make you much more clear about the building plan. Kitchen was common but every room has attach toilets. I have designed two types of building, one for family and one dormitory style. Also I have provided proper light source and circulation and also tried to break monotonous harmony of the buildings.

Sections and elevations will make you more clear about the buildings....Obviously height of the buildings are different , Maximum 4 storied building...

Obviously I had followed cluster design with own courtyard. Without doing cluster, whole master plan would be scattered which was not fulfill my criteria.

Materials :

Let's talk about materials , full project construction was based on Brick because in Bangladesh Brick is cheap , good , available, indigenous , sustainable among all materials. Also used red tiles roof because I know tin is quiet cheap but had to think about aesthetic perspective also. Whole budget was provided by government. But for hospital , school and mosque other material can be used. Also all common facilities I tried to provide as much as possible...

I had also provided a small market for common facilities...

lake and road was existing which was really benefit for entire design. Well , you might ask me where is the parking or everything. I haven't created any way for heavy vehicles except cycle and rickshaw. I wanted to make an eco-friendly housing / colony...

I hope you have liked my this academic project. If you like please let me know....

Entire project was done by the author so only author can use this entire project for any kind of recreational or commercial purpose.

Love

Priyan...
