  • IIUIUIIIIIIIIIII Ill 0109100008
    IIUIUIIIIIIIIIII Ill 0109100008 564 LIVING TRAl Bangla calendar to ease tax collection. Actually no one knows when and how this day of celebration began. Baishakh is the first month of the Bangla calendar. Most of the events in rural Bangladesh still take place according to this calendar. Baishakh is considered to be the most auspicious month for undertaking any business venture. The day starts with partaking of a heavy breakfast of cheera, gur and yogurt. Then people get dressed to go to the fairs which take place every year at an appointed place, it being inevitably either the cool shade of a banyan tree or a riverfront usually at the bend of a river. The fair brings commodities of every sort, food of every variety, and sweets of endless kinds. The sight of clay dolls and toys made of plastic and rubber delight the children. A small boy hanging on to his father's arm stubbornly insisting on buying a toy of his liking, his father cannot afford, is a common sight. But tears vanish as soon as the boy sees his favorite puppet show or a clown wearing a mask. Each year the celebration of Pahela Baishakh turns into a human sea in parts of Dhaka. In the morning, processions called Prabhat Pheri come out with many fanfares. Cultural programs are organized to celebrate the New Year. Baishakhi melas (fairs) are held in the city. People of all ages throng these melas to buy toys, handicrafts, and sweets. Snake charmers, jugglers, and magicians mesmerize the enthusiastic crowd. We are describing how Pahela Baishakh was celebrated in Dhaka in the 1ast three years (2004, 2005 and 2006).

Deeg is a 32 kms away town which came into glory much earlier and is privileged to have a huge royal palace which was beautifully managed and partly inhabited by its legitimate inheritors till the year 1970. Deeg had been the pride of the Jat rulers of the time. Deeg Palace is a living testimony to the Jat rulers who fought bravely with the Mughals and Marathas onslaught. In a historical battle, 80,000 odd two armies were battered by the local army led by Raja Suraj Mal. When Raja Suraj Mal moved to Bharatpur, and made it his Capital, it relegated to the second place of the kingdom. Few historians are of the view that most of the stone used was looted from Mughal buildings and made use of in Deeg Palace after their victory. Since Bharatpur and Agra were the nearest places, the developments of these places affected the rule and rulers. Feeling jealous and due to political compulsions, the Deeg had been the centre of invasion by various enemy forces time to time.

The project can be described as a "PAST in the FUTURE" , a proper balance between nature and culture. The project is a raw interface between building and landscape where people and plan co-exist and can share the same surface at the same time creates a clear system of interaction between nature and the city. The project provides an opportunity to level the city at the same time be more closer to it. where the nature provides an unexpected contrast to the city keeping balance with the culture. Acknowledgement Acknowledgement I would like to begin by thanking almighty Allah for his mercy and for fulfilling all my wishes in life. All the grace to Allah for everything I have achieved till now. Again, I am thankful to Almighty for blessing me with a beautiful life with some people, who always guide me when I needed most ,in the form of my Abbu and Ammu to whom I am always thankful for their support , sacrifices and blessings , in the form of my Nanu (late Dr. Nurul Islam Chowdhury) to whom I am thankful for his blessings and for always being proud of me, even in times, when I didn‘t deserve such faith.
