Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to explain the complete process and methodology followed in the design phase of a Textile Engineering College. It also focuses on the necessity of multidisciplinary education and translates the understanding through the product of the design phase. Gopalganj Textile Engineering College, as the title refers, is an institute for Textile Engineering and related technologies, in Gopalganj, Dhaka. This paper shreds light upon the versatile possibilities that an institute can bring to its users, the city and the development of a nation, not only through its curriculum, but as a physical presence through spaces. The site is located in the Kashiani Upazila, Gopalganj, and covers an area of approximately 5 Acres, authorized by the Government of Bangladesh; The Ministry of Education. The design procedure has been developed through the assimilation of the revised programs, relevant case studies, and site and context analysis followed by the study of conceptual backgrounds, volumetric functions and the formal expression of the project with reference to its context. The media of the volumetric formal study includes experimental modeling.
