Redevelopment of Bibir Bazar Konda, Keraniganj

Abstract

Bazaar is a covered or uncovered place where people gather in a marketplace where various merchandisers or shopkeepers gather around so that goods and services can be exchanged. The history of Bazar has been significantly enriched in Bangladesh. Over the years, the pattern of Bazar has changed, but its primary purpose is still the same.Bibir bazar is the oldest bazar in Keraniganj. The river Dhaleshwari flows beside this bazar site. This bazar is currently in a rural context but urban development is approaching towards the site. In this project, It can be developed as a place for social, economic and future development. To keep the rural context and connection with locals, local materials have been used and kept the built structure low scale. As the surrounding area is going through urbanization hence this site should have scope to develop and expand or shift to other areas if necessary.
