Concept of the design
The basic concept of the design originated D C
from the intent of creating a city within a
city, which can be revealed by identifying four
distinctive constituency blocks, connected by
streets converging into the atrium. Spines
are so created as if the city streets leading
to the heart of the city center producing a
psychodrama that in turn makes the building
into a virtual city rendezvous.
A-Block is located in the south-west corner
of the market, in the east-south corner of
the B-Block market, in the eastern corner of
the C-Block market, and in the north-west
A B
corner of the D-block market.
This atrium of mass activities covered with a large-
scale glass dome depicting the creation of earth –
‘Bashundhara’2 connecting all the layers of podium
block sensationalized by soothing natural light
establishes the complex’s ultimate formal
vocabulary. Filtered light through the dome and
vaulted skylights allowed deep interior over the
assembly at plaza level produces a quality of spatial
depth that transcends physical space. Light piercing
the glass-dome and stain-glass finial illuminates the
interior with a definition, which goes beyond a
physical experience.
