Properly plan multi-storey buildings: PM to architects

Four mega construction projects presented

Unb, Dhaka
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday asked architects to design multi-storey buildings in a planned manner, taking in consideration open space, waste management, movement of people and traffic in surrounding roads.
She also asked them to ensure natural ventilation systems and proper verandas in the new multi-storey housing projects to keep the indoor environment healthy.
Sheikh Hasina was attending a conceptual presentation on four development projects of the Housing and Public Works Ministry at her office.
She put emphasis on enactment of a new law to protect land, by preventing the mushrooming growth of buildings here and there in the city.
Talking about a housing project, Hasina said, "It is not good for health to always
use air conditioner. There should be a natural ventilation system to ensure the movement of light and air inside flats."
She suggested keeping the sewerage line on one side of the proposed projects instead of on all sides.
The four projects presented before the prime minister are the revised masterplans of the construction of multi-storey residential flat project for government officials at Azimpur Government Colony in Dhaka; a project for constructing a 20-storey building at Bangladesh Secretariat with adequate space for cabinet meeting; construction of multi-storey buildings at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar on 43 acres of land following the design of world renowned architect Louis Kahn, and construction of a 20-storey multipurpose building at Hatirjheel in the capital.
At Azimpur, fifteen 20-storey buildings will be constructed at a cost of Tk 1,921.80 crore by December 2021, which will have a total of 1,140 flats.
At Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, fifty-one 10-storey buildings with a total of 1,836 flats will be constructed for government staff at a cost of Tk 4,444.51 crore.
Prime Minister okayed a proposal of engaging architect Henry Wilcots, an associate of Louis Kahn, as an overseas consultant or an adviser to Sher-e-Bangla Nagar multistorey building project.
The 20-storey building being constructed at Bangladesh Secretariat at a cost of Tk 420.98 crore has two basements and separate conference room for cabinet meetings.
After seeing a proposal for the construction of a multipurpose amenity building with car-parking facility at Hatirjheel at a cost ofTk 500 crore, the prime minister proposed to build the 20-storey building beside the Padma or the Jamuna river instead of Hatirjheel.
Housing and Public Works Minister SM Rezaul Karim, PM's Principal Secretary Md Nojibur Rahman, PMO Secretary Sajjadul Hassan, and Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim were present on the occasion. Immediate past Chief Architect Kazi Golam Nasir, Rajuk Chief Engineer ASM Raihanul Ferdous, and Assistant Architect of the architecture department Sayeda Saika Binte Alam highlighted various key features of the projects through the presentation.
