Dhaka city is a 400 years story of culture, festivals and traditions. By time Dhaka
expands physically, but the enriched tradition of living doesn’t carry out properly. Hence
Pink city model town, situated at the prime location of east Baridhara besides 300ft
purbachal highway, grows in an unhealthy manner of neighborhood. Community
interaction and relationship and proper growth of mental health are straight ignored in
the design of phase 1 and 2. Whereas in old Dhaka the neighborhood bonding and
essence of ‘mohollah’ still alive. Social aspects of old Dhaka ‘mohollah’ are breathing
through the spatial flow of ‘mohollahs’. In planned residential areas the essence of
community faded away. The core idea of this project is to reinterpretation of the social
bonding of very own old Dhaka ‘mohollah’ in the portion of phase 3 of Pink city model
town. In the context of the site create the flow of community spaces in respect of old
Dhaka ‘mohollah’ –is the aim of this project.
