'Gulistan' is an extremely important place of Dhaka city with many memories of its old
cinema hall complex and also because of its importance as a hub. Gulistan Park therefore is
an extremely sensitive area because it needs to live on as a significant urban place besides its
identity as a park. There are two different parts of the project: Cultural and Religious. Both of
the parts are developed over the idea of revitalizing the inactive part of Gulistan Park by
creating visual porosity and accessibility with an urban plaza. The plaza dissolves into the
green of the park while introducing many new public facilities. With respect to the park, the
form generated to offer a seamless transition of the park to the sloped green roof, ensuring
visual and pedestrian experience.
