CONTEXT ANALYSIS
EDUCATION SYSTEM IN BANGLADESH
The three main educational systems in Bangladesh, ordered by decreasing student numbers, are:
General Education System
Madrasah Education System
Technical - Vocational Education System

Other systems include a Professional Education System.
Each of these three main systems is divided into five levels:

Primary Level (years 1 to 5)
Junior Level (years 6 to 8)
Secondary Level (years 9 to 10)
Higher Secondary Level (years 11 and 12)
Tertiary Level

Tertiary education in Bangladesh takes place at 34 government and 54 private universities. Students can choose to further their studies in engineering, technology, agriculture and medicine at a variety of universities and colleges.

At all levels of schooling, students can choose to receive their education in English or Bengali. Private schools tend to make use of English-based study media while government-sponsored schools use Bengali.

LITERATURE STUDY
EDUCATION SYSTEM IN BANGLADESH

The history of education is chronicle of higher education in both teaching and learning in the human society. Each generation, since the beginning of human evolution and writing, has sought to pass on cultural and social values, traditions, morality, religion, knowledge and skills to the next generation. The passing on of culture is also known as enculturation and the learning of social values and behaviors is socialization. The history of the curricula of such education reflects human history itself, the history of knowledge, beliefs, skills and cultures of humanity.

In pre-literate societies, education was achieved orally and through observation and imitation. The young learned informally from their parents, extended family and grandparents. At later stages of their lives, they received instruction of a more structured and formal nature, imparted by people not necessarily related, in the context of initiation, religion or ritual.

As the customs and knowledge of ancient civilizations became more complex, many skills would have been learned from an experienced person on the job, in husbandry, agriculture, fishing, preparation and preservation of food, construction, stone work, metal work, boat building, the making of weapons and defenses, the military skills and many other occupations.

Children's are the best creation of god. Everyone in the world likes to see the smile of a child's face. Children's learns what they saw around them. So their schools should be different from others.
Psychologists found that, children's likes places which are playful. So, when they found their classes are playful they loves to go to the school. And also they should get their lessons through playing. Some children's got diseases like dyslexia. So teachers of those classes should know about these kind of diseases to help them out. Moreover children's like to keep in touch with their parents. So there should be a waiting room near the class room. There should not be any place where they could frightened or dangerous for them. And when a designer is designing a school for the children's i.e. elementary school, he should keep these things in his mind.

CHILD PSYCHOLOGY
LITERATURE STUDY

Traditional layout

Modern school buildings cover a broad spectrum of layouts, some with free and open-plan forms, similar to the modern office, with a predominantly open-plan arrangement. However, the majority have traditional closed cellular structures, with the basic teaching space a classroom, providing lessons for groupings between 14 and 30 pupils. The classroom will either be a standard room for general teaching, acting as a secure home base for a single age group of children, as is the case with most elementary schools for children up to the age of 11. Alternatively, the classroom may be subject-related, with distinct areas of the building for dedicated subject areas such as humanities, arts and design, science and technology, sports and drama.

SCHOOL TYPOLOGIES
LITERATURE STUDY
Subject specific classrooms will be the most common arrangement for secondary schools, since most subjects studied at this level will require specialist facilities to a greater or lesser extent, such as language laboratories, acoustically insulated music rooms and indoor sports halls. Today all of these subject specific classrooms will have integrated (information and communications technology) and sometimes a range of smaller seminar rooms for group or individual tuition. Lots of storage will be required, not just for student and staff belongings, but also for teaching resources. The school will need to have staff facilities, for study and relaxation; these rooms will usually be grouped together and out of bounds to students, to promote a collegiate spirit and perhaps to give teachers some respite from the chalk face.' In addition there will be whole school dining/cafe and refreshment areas, which will provide a full catering service. The school will comprise a main entrance or reception area, a main hall for assemblies (although it may double as a sports, drama or dining room), a library and safe, hygienic toilet and washroom areas for the use of students and staff, strategically positioned throughout the building.

CASE STUDY (LOCAL)

CASE STUDY

The architectural acoustics of school buildings and schoolrooms are often not taken into account until late in the design phase. The following considerations should help to explain why it makes sense to include them at the earliest possible stage, and why careful acoustic design is both aesthetically and financially worthwhile.

One reason for assuming that room acoustics are a secondary design function lies in the traditional belief that they are primarily dependent upon the absorption characteristics of the internal finishing materials. The factors which govern room acoustics are more complex, however, and will already have been predetermined by the choice of construction and spatial form.

Noise and silence

Noise is an invasive nuisance which masks important acoustic signals. Insulation against outside noise is therefore regarded as a great relief. Also, it is only in periods of continuous silence that our aural perception achieves its highest level of sensitivity. Building technology has made enormous progress by sealing windows and doors against penetrating airborne sound and by decoupling mechanical connections with elastic elements (footstep damping, floating floors, softening rigid wall and conduit junctions).

School gardens

The inventor of the kindergarten, Friedrich Froebel, was one of the first teachers to use gardening as part of children's education. During the 1840s he created gardens in his original kindergartens throughout Germany. By the late 19th century in Europe and North America gardens were incorporated into school yards to provide children with important life skills, as well as introduce them to the economic profits of agriculture. In Sweden, Austria, Germany, Belgium and Russia gardens were mandatory at schools, while in England teachers salaries were often determined by the productivity level of their school garden.
ACOUSTIC DESIGN
LITERATURE STUDY

Background and significance of day lighting

Students in classrooms with the most daylight progressed 20% faster on math tests and 26% faster in reading tests

Classrooms with the most window area were associated with a 15-23% faster rate of improvement

Classrooms with skylights were associated with a 19-20% faster rate of improvement

Classrooms with operable windows were associated with a 7-8% faster improvement in three out of four cases that have been investigated when compared to classrooms with non-operable windows

Students who attend daylight schools seem to perform up to 14% better than those who do not according to another major survey of 1,200 elementary students in North Carolina.

Day lighting strategies for schools and kindergartens

An appropriate day lighting strategy in schools and kindergarten would be one that provides an adequate amount of light where needed while ensuring no visual discomfort and good visual performance. Typologies of school architecture tend to favor single- stored buildings. These are often appropriate for simple yet effective day lighting strategies that include both side-lighting as well as top-lighting principles.

LIGHTING DESIGN
LITERATURE STUDY

Beyond this functionally specific area schedule, there will be the internal circulation areas which link individual rooms or subject departments. Circulation is not merely a function of teaching; it is the space between, where students will spend much of their time outside the classroom as they move around the campus between lessons. These circulation areas will often be described as 'break-out spaces,' or 'covered streets' in order to invest them with a positive aura. Poorly designed circulation can make movement around the building difficult and even facilitate bullying. Generous well-designed circulation will promote a positive ethos and make sense of the building as a coherent public institution. Circulation should never be merely conceived of as a corridor. It is a critical dimension where good design can make a real difference to spatial quality. The cynical observer might note that since the tight constraints of the normal school brief allow architects little scope for fantasy and imagination, spatial quality usually manifests itself in the concept and design of the intermediate zones.

Project Facts

Location : Amsterdam
Country : Holland
Completion : 2002
Client : Montessorischool, Amsterdam
Architect : Herman Hertzberger
Size : 1,333m2
Pupils : 300 aged 4 -12 years
Classroom : 47m²
Parking : 6
Cost : €1,134,450

Design motive:

Integrated into a housing block to form an urban school at the heart of the community.

About the project:
For a long time Herman Hertzberger has been designing schools which are closely related to the local community. He has pioneered the notion of the multi-storey villa form which optimizes the tight site constraints of building in a city like Amsterdam. However, it is the first time he has actually combined a school with a housing block to create a new highbred form of school architecture. It is an approach which is more usually seen in the provision of early years centers, smaller, more distinctive buildings than the typical primary school, which can sit comfortably with housing or other more commercial facilities.

Section
Many ideas of these two buildings we carried over : the non-directional, open, diverse classroom zone are not merely classrooms; the interior is closely related with exterior and elements of the surrounding gardens, the plants, the square and to the many different kinds of lights and some new elements are added.; they were developed together with the school.

Master panning in a larger site & creating courts.
Zoning of functions.
Linking the indoor & outdoor spaces.
Use of color in the corridor space to create a playful environment.
Use of shading device to protect from the direct sunlight.
FINDINGS :
Zoning – public & private section should be separated.

Circulation – the all the passage and path of school should achieved good walkway and circulation.

Security – the environment of school should be secured.

Indoor & outdoor relation – indoor outdoor relation should be done naturally.

Activity space – for any occasion activity or gathering space should be kept in design

Cultural context – cultural context of Bangladesh should be kept in mind at the period of design.

Climatic consideration – should be concerned about climatic consideration.

View – better view should be given to the user.

Architectural style – Local architectural style of Bangladeshi culture should be done in design.
ISSUES
Issues to be addressed in design
Any architectural design requires vast study, analysis and understanding. It was a great experience for me to work with the project 'Banarupa Residential School ', because here had to pledge with different issues as environmental, geographical and also local context.
I have studied the relationship between indoor & outdoor spaces in a school, the psychology of the children, the lighting and acoustic design for the classroom and lab rooms & the necessary facilities of a student dormitories.

It is interesting and at the same time challenging that how one is going to spent almost all their time within a given boundary. Restricting the people around a certain boundary yet not let them feel that they are captivated, adds on to the complexity of the project.

This project also has a huge range of function as one has to provide the requirement (including dining and recreational) of the students and the people related to the school.

REFERENCES
Individual buildings are grouped around a central green area, linking the 'inside' of the site with the 'outside' of the bordering green area. The green classrooms & the common rooms have wooden decks out front, which are further protected by hedges & high shrubs, allowing classes to be held outside if the weather permits. Each classrooms has it own special tree, which makes it individual & also affords some shades.

Composite Plan
The site for the new school at Ingolstadt was relatively large bordering green areas & existing kindergarten of the local parish. Rather than one large building, it consist of five smaller buildings. On entering there is a semi public main building, followed by the kindergarten, a building for therapy, the primary school and the modern secondary school with workshop & meeting place.

Plan layout:

The classrooms are laid out along a single loaded corridor.
Arrangement along a single loaded corridor enables sufficient amount light in to
the class room.
The over layout of the plan follows the site reference very strictly.
The unique pocket spaces outside the classrooms provide a successful interaction space.
The arrangement of the blocks also help tin natural ventilation and natural lighting.

Ground Floor Plan
Upper Floor Plan
Themes:

Integrated environmental design
There is a gap between the two residential units in order to allow plenty of daylight into the school.

Integrated flexibility for space and learning
The building shares the prominent feature of all other Herman Hertzberger's schools.
A central hall serving as a place for meetings and activities.
There are glass walls and work niches in the corridors which provide transparency and
can create various learning arrangements.
The stairs are designed so that they can be used for circulation as well as for turning into a multifunctional space. The steps become seats and the landing becomes the stage.

Integrated social and physical context
The waterside site in the center of Amsterdam was expensive, so to help cover the costs,
eight residential units were placed on top of the school
(which occupies the two bottom floors of the building complex).
The architecture of the school picks up on the waterside themes and two large doors from the central hall pick up on the vernacular of the canal locks.
Conceptual Perspective & Section
Elevation treatment:

The unique elevation treatment of the building gives a distinct character to the building.
The façade treatment enables sufficient amount of light and allows natural ventilation.

Scale perception:
As it is a primary school it is necessary to maintain a scale which would be acceptable to the people who are going to inhabit this place.
The overall building scale is appropriately handled as it does not over shadow the natural setting.
The interior scale is also contained and perceivable to the young students.

Academics

Dhaka Residential Model College offers both primary and secondary education and emphasizes student discipline in all of their activities. It has laboratories for physics, chemistry, computers, biology, mathematics and geography and a library with more than 20,000 books, journals, newspapers and magazines. The school employs about 200 teaching staff and 80 non-teaching staff. The student-teacher ratio is 20:1.

The school operates on two different schedules. Students can opt for either of the schedules right before their enrollment. Each schedule includes seven periods and a 20-minute break for lunch. Students are provided with snacks by the school. The school is a closed campus; students are not allowed to leave school grounds during school hours.

CLIMATIC FEATURES
CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS
According to the physiography of Bangladesh the CHT falls under the Northern and Eastern Hill unit and the High Hill or Mountain Ranges sub-unit. The region is characterized by a huge network of trellis and dendritic drainage consisting of some major rivers draining into the Bay of Bengal. The major rivers are karnafuli, sangu, matamuhuri and feni. Within the hill tracts, the Karnafuli has several important tributaries, of which Chengi, kasalong and Rainkhiang are the main ones.
Generally the hill ranges and the river valleys are longitudinally aligned. Four ranges, with an average elevation of over three hundred metres, strike in a north-south direction in the northern part of the hill tract districts. These are Phoromain range (Phoromain, 463m), Dolajeri range (Langtrai, 429m), Bhuachhari (Changpai, 611m) and Barkal range (Thangnang, 735m). South of the Karnafuli River within the Chittagong Hill Tracts, there are seven main mountain ranges within Bangladesh. These are: Muranja range (Basitaung, 664m), Wayla range (most of this range is in Myanmar), Chimbook range (Tindu, 898m), Batimain range (Batitaung, 526m), Politai range (Keokradang, 884m; Ramiu Taung 921m, Saichal-Mowdok range (Bilaisari, 669m) and Saichal range. Saichal range contains the highest peaks of Bangladesh. These are Waibung (808m), Rang Tlang (958m), Mowdok Tlang (905m), and Mowdok Mual (1,003m) which is on the border with Myanmar.
Some of these hill ranges also contain important geological structures to form excellent structural traps for natural gas accumulation. The structures are: Semutang anticline (average elevation is 80m except in some areas where it reaches over 160m), Sitapahar anticline (245 to 330m in the south to middle of the structure and 330 to 410m in the northern part), Matamuhuri anticline (average elevation ranges from 245 to 330m in the northern part, but in the southern part it increases from 410 to 570m and the maximum elevation is 710m in the south) and Bandarban anticline (maximum elevation varies between 650 and 800m, with three peaks of around 935m, 960m and 965m located from north to south). There are two natural lakes (Rainkhiangkine lake and bagakine lake) and one artificial lake (kaptai lake). The Kaptai lake covers an area of about 767 sq. km in dry season and about 1,036 sq. km in the monsoon.

Due to the lack of good educational system, parents go to the extent of sending their children abroad for a proper education. This is only possible for the people who have the financial ability but what about the people who are not so well off. Having a school with residential facilities regional would encourage the students to stay back and also give an opportunity to everyone.
An English Medium School in Khagrachari would be one of its only kinds in the region. This would hopefully encourage other nongovernment organization to work for the well-being of the people, society and the country. For Khagrachari it will helpful for this areas students who can find easily a standard English medium education . Not only for this areas students but also for nearby Living students it will be an ideal institution of education.
PROJECT PROPOSAL
An English-medium education system is one that uses English as the primary medium of instruction—particularly where English is not the mother tongue of the students.
In Bangladesh it is seen that all the facilities including educational facilities are concentrated in a single city. Dhaka has been the major or the only source of standard educational system apart from few cadet colleges and district schools. It is high time that people should start thinking about decentralization.

There are thousands of students every year who come to cities for a proper education. It is not only the student but also their families who accompany that through their schooling life and eventually through their further education. This phenomenon increased the population of the city significantly which eventually lead to many other problems.
