Temple of Knowledge is a platform for the citizens of this city to interact, to live, to share and to gain knowledge.To gain knowledge, not only through the conventional way that we are already familiar with but also through the ways in which people have enlightened through ages, through sharing. The project tends to juxtapose different factions, to achieve the right combination that fits the 21st century and helps the citizens to be enlightened. The project aims at igniting the thoughtfulness and curiosity of the mind; and an exploring mind asks questions. The project aims to create a shift within the mind of the people and resulting in a change in the society in the larger scale. The ultimate objective of the project is to constantly provide a positive energy into the urban social fabric, so as in not too distant future Dhaka becomes a much more livable, tasteful, and culturally and aesthetically oriented city.
