  • Landscape and Democracy

Every landscape hides a meaning that is not explicit in the ordinary forms. Is a concept that lies utterly beyond science, that holds ideas, impressions and ineffable complexities that depends on how we are affected by it and from the values we associate to it.

  • Concepts of Participation

Partecipatory processes are a form of access to a paradigm which the people had a little part in creating. Starts with the reappropriation of knowledge by those who are affected by it and evolves as a strategy in which the powerless develop, create, gain control and systematize their own science.

  • Designing

In the modern broad cities is evident the disassociation from community and environment and the human behavior appear antagonistic to sustainability. Holistic insight should be pursuit to guide the design of urban forms and to find new directions for a reformulation of intents and ideals of fulfillment.

SYMBOL OF HOPE.

This photograph clicked by me in Bangladesh. As we know that Bangladesh is a riverine country and it is very common to get new land (river sand bed / Char) in the river. Sometimes some of these new lands last for long and sometimes some of those vanish in a short time. As a agricultural country (Bangladesh) most of the country men are farmers and when they see that there are little bit green (like the photograph) on the river sand bed / char, then they get hope to get new agricultural land. These green are the symbol of hope for these farmers. Geo-location 20'34N to 26'38N latitude, 88'01E to 92'41E longitude

Independence Monument / Swadhinata Stambha

[File:Swadhinata Stambha.jpeg ] The main attraction of the Swadhinata Stambha is the Stambha / monument itself. Stambha means pillar or tower in Bengali. The tower was built on the place where the commander-in-chief of East Pakistan Army Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi signed the papers of his surrender. During night, the tower looks elegant as the rays of light come out from every single inches of the tower. The whole tower turns into a white pillar. The tower is square according to the plan and is 16 feet wide from every side with an area of 64 inches. The underground museum of the project comprises several photographs with historical significance. There are a number of terracotta murals on war-heroes and the events of the Liberation War, a 2000-seat auditorium, and an open-air theatre. The eternal flame stands beside the tower. The water body of the project reflects the whole tower all the day and increases the beauty of the project. But the water body is under potential threat as the local slum-dwellers use it for their daily needs. This monument is representing the past , present and future of Bangladesh at a time.
