UPRISEN TO THE FUTURE : DESIGN OF A RESIDENTIAL HOUSING

Project idea

Housing settlements provide housing to 30-70% of the urban population in many developing countries. They have grown enormous due to widespread poverty and inadequate housing finance and land development systems. Governments mostly assisted by the international aid agencies have improved environment, tenure security, income and resources in many settlements. Yet the problems persist as benefits did not multiply due to lack in institutional development, policy implementation, governance, participation etc. However, when it comes to the daily working life of most architecture students, it may seem that other agendas play the dominant role: Being more or less dependent on the visions and money of investors and developers (or lack of visions), objectives related to profit, branding, market etc. seem to overshadow ideas of social equity, well-being for vulnerable groups, social integration and so on. This design create based on housing survey analysis on Chandgaoun R/A. this area is a residential area in Chittagong. The housing complex is infect a vertical village for better interaction to the community people
