Teacher Student Center Design Brief The Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) of Dhaka University was established in the Expansion 1960’s. It was designed by Greek architect, planner and theoretician Constantinos A. Doxiadis (1913-1975). The complex, located within the University area, comprises of a Students Union Building, an Auditorium Complex, Cafeteria, Indoor Games, Guest House and Swimming Pool facilities within a 3.7 acre site. These functions have facilitated a wide range of student activities over the last six decades. Furthermore, the complex also comprises of a Greek Memorial and twin Shiva temples within its boundaries. In the design of the complex, Doxiadis has employed a layout in harmony with the Public Reaction warm humid climate of the region; organizing the built masses around an open, loosely defined courtyard. Furthermore, elements such as extensive use of extended shading devices, various ‘jali’ patterns, an umbrella doubleroof and shaded As Dhaka University celebrates its Birth Centenary in 2021, its growing list of students corridors express the extreme sensitivity with which the Architect has addressed and the various spatial needs for their activities have culminated in a decision to the environmental aspects of the site. ‘modernise’ the Teacher-Student Centre. The decision envisions the demolition Through the many decades since its establishment, TSC sits at the epicentre of of the existing complex by Doxiadis and with it, the many years of history it has its own context. The complex has connotations that are social, urban, economic witnessed. The site is to then to be redeveloped in accordance with a new, expanded and even, political. Its impact extends beyond the physical dimensions of its site, program. inspiring acitivities in its vicinities. These impacts manifest themselves in forms These developments bring to the fore, the question of how one may go about such as wall murals, gathering spaces in informal stalls and pavements to name a addressing sensitively, the need for expansion in buildings of both historic and few. TSC has thus become both a social and a cultural landmark, not only for Dhaka cultural significance. Can the Teacher-Student Centre at Dhaka University be University but Dhaka itself. expanded in order to facilitate its needs at present time while preserving its heritage? 6 work in progress

The Father of Ekistics 11 The whole range of human settlements, is a very complex system of five elements: Na- ture, Man, Society, Shells (that is, buildings), and Networks. It is a system of natural, social, and man-made elements which can be seen in many ways- economic, social, political, technological and cultural. For this reason, only the widest possible view can help one understand it. Aforementioned is the synopsis of Ekistics; An Introduction to the Science of Human Settlements, a term coined by Doxiadis in 1942. Ekistics was conceived as an objective, comprehensive, and integrative approach to all principles and theories of human set- tlements. copyright BRAC University

DESIGN PROPOSALS work in progress Site Selection Informed by their extensive studies, students set out to find suitable sites for the Expansion of TSC. Three such sites were identified. The first proposal was to utilize the entire area (3.84 acres) of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), which is set to relocate entirely. The second proposal envisions designing in a partial area of the AEC (2.02 acres), replacing those structures which have already been relocated. The rest of the program was proposed in the University Swimming Pool Complex Site. The final proposal rethinks the 4.13 acres site of the Vice Chancellor’s Bungalow; preserving the historic structure while facilitating the growing needs of the Teacher-Student Center therein. 42
