Factory under construction near Sonargaon - Interesting because the design utilizes earthquake-proofing in the form of diagonal cross-braces.

‘Basic and Functional’ were the keywords that influenced the design of this building. The requirement for an unimpeded floor space for facilitating the most functional machine and equipment layout was absolutely necessary.

The land was not large enough to meet the requirements horizontally, so the building was vertically expanded. Separate office building, utility building and factory building gives the character of a complex. A large setback and a detached reception block managed to scale down the structure, providing a welcoming approach.

Safety of the workers has been ensured by providing three proper fire stairs for immediate exit during emergencies and a service road around the building for accessibility. The north-south orientation of the building facilitates natural ventilation. Large glazed surface lets in the day light into the floor space.

An industrial project deals with a large number of workers associated with the function of the building. The aim was to provide an efficient workplace as well as breakoutpoints where anyone can take a tranquil moment from the daily work routine. The interior height and a climatically responsive façade system ensure comfortable workin conditions.

The building is facing dense green on the front side. The overlooking and translucent envelope of the building complements the dense green at the BTCL compound in fron.

The terraces also help create a connection with its surroundings. Stairs are designed and placed to ensure the safe exit of worker during any kind of fire hazard. A service road around the building ensures proper accessibility. The Continental Apparels factory building aims to set an example amidst the deplorable architectural condition that exists explicitly in the garments industry around Bangladesh.

LAND: 4278.74 SQM

The export- oriented garment factory GRGL intended to extend their production capacity by setting up their new production unit. The problem of ventilation was identified at the design stage. Due to the presence of dust particles, we needed to separate the air flow between functional zones.

A new concept was developed to get fresh air from the roof through a set of three wind shafts on three sides. Another side was left for placing the exhaust fans. These wind shafts are complemented by huge suction fans to bring the wind inside the ducts.

Nice, keep them coming. We need to build more outside Dhaka as its having too much on the city itself. Outside Dhaka build more factories and offices.

Uttara third phase mega project latest status


 
that's not a skyscraper... that's a spaceship! i am surprised... such a design withstanding high winds would definitely be impressive.... who's designing it? SMO or bangladeshi engineers with in house team?


why do i feel like this is impossible to design structurally?
This is tubular shape and easier to design for a skyscrapper.
I like the blending the theme of eastern and western concept.

i wouldn;t trust a render until i see proof or infomation about who are designing this tower? or related with the construction... is it the usuals skimore merills and owings or is it some chinese firm in design work... or is it designed by some bengali engineer himself.... until then... a render doesnt really count my approval of legitimate proof

This is not an orthodox design for skyscraper. And that's the nicest thing I can say about it. What's with the coke bottle shapes??

Reminds me more of this Aladdin thing....
