PROJECT TITLE: Unfolding Nature.
DESIGN STATEMENT:
The interpretation center aims at bringing people close to nature for creating awareness and consciousness regarding natural conservation. The design seeks paths for interactive and educational exhibits. The design will provide knowledge sharing scopes to the visitors about nature, its biodiversity and particular habitat of the site context along with observatory spaces.
SITE:
Sonadia Island is a small island of about 9 square kilometers, offshore of the Cox's Bazar coast in Chittagong Division, Bangladesh. It is located at Kutubjom Union in Maheshkhali upazila, 15 km north-west of Cox's Bazar District.
The epic forest, the sea blue water, the Kaya forests, the red crab, the sea birds, and the different types of sea birds will fly in the heart of the tourists. The island provides breeding areas for four globally threatened species of marine turtles, and serves as a significant bird refuge for over 80 migratory species.
CONCEPT: Recourse of the Adversity.
Inspired from “Red Crab’s” structural system. How the legs of the crab supports
it's body structure and the whole body saves it to hostile environments, the idea was to create a shelter following this system.
The shell structure came from climatic consideration. The area has heavy rainfall and it requires good drainage for roof, roof drainage depending on slope of the roof provided. Roof pitch angle used here in a range between 40° to 45°
We can observe the creatures and species from the deck, which is not an alien like place that forcedly designed rather it merged with the surroundings.
We can hide ourselves so that they can freely move at the same time we're so close to them to observe their intimacy and playful activities.
So finally this interpretation center aims at bringing people close to nature for creating awareness and consciousness regarding natural conservation.
