MATARBARI 
POWERPLANT

The project is located in the southeast part of Chittagong Division, Bangladesh. It stands amid the natural setting with a humble volume amid the authentic tune of the environment. Our Country, Bangladesh has got numerous magnificent mosques built in recent years which have created a considerable architectural value in our history.

Being influenced by this tremendous mosque culture, we tried to comprise all the contextual evaluation through this edifice. Traditionally to us, a religious structure is celebrated in its way and hardly we see any use of it for the community's purposes. But here, we have accommodated a community library that can also be used as a prayer space for different religious occasions. Lastly, a community gathering space adds a collective value to the structure.

The Southern facade with sun-cut walls and openings as per the calculated sun path diagram creates a geometric shadow pattern as the daytime passes by. There has been an exquisitely evolved expression of architecture on the roof where we can see additional space for prayer with temporary operable sheds. This has made the roof look visually unique with some salient features. As a whole, the structure depicts our very own contextual characteristics and construction methods accordingly. The people around the mosque have been using it as an integrated part and parcel of their lives which has made it an outright piece of architecture to a great extent.
