HANDLOOM ECOSYSTEM HUB FOR INNOVATION, TRAINING, & MARKET ACCESS, JAMALPUR

An introductory overview presenting the project's vision, the importance of Bangladesh's handloom heritage, and the need for an integrated ecosystem hub. The sheet also highlights the site context, survey analysis, and Jamalpur's traditional handloom practices that inform the design.

This sheet explores the historical evolution, production processes, and spatial characteristics of some of the major handloom traditions, including Nakshikantha, Benarasi, and Tangail Tant that this project is based on. It identifies their cultural significance, existing challenges, and traditional settlement patterns to inform the architectural language and spatial planning of the proposed Handloom Ecosystem Hub.

This sheet presents the conceptual foundation of the project, illustrating how the vision of Loomscapes transforms the traditional handloom journey into an architectural experience. It outlines the design framework through user and program analyses, key design strategies, and planning tools that guide the spatial organization and overall development of the Handloom Ecosystem Hub

The masterplan translates the project's design vision into a cohesive spatial framework, while the form generation process illustrates the key design decisions that respond to site conditions, user experience, climate, and the evolving handloom narrative

This sheet presents the ground floor plan, illustrating the spatial organization, functional relationships, and circulation of the Handloom Ecosystem Hub. It also highlights the landscape design tools that create interactive outdoor spaces, strengthen the connection between architecture and nature, and enhance the overall user experience.

This sheet visualizes the project's primary public spaces, highlighting the arrival sequence, central public plaza, semi-basement handloom museum, and first-floor fashion show gallery. Together, these spaces create an immersive visitor experience that celebrates Bangladesh's handloom heritage through architecture, exhibition, and public engagement.

The sheet visualizes the project's secondary circulation spine, where the elevated walkway guides visitors through the complete handloom ecosystem, from showcase and learning to production and market. Complemented by the waterfront deck and architectural elevation, it emphasizes interaction, recreation, and the building's contextual identity.

The sheet presents the spatial organization of the production hub, highlighting the relationship between the three craft-specific production units and their shared collaborative spaces. Through sections and visualizations, it showcases how work, interaction, and rest are integrated to foster an efficient and community-oriented artisan environment

The physical sectional model explores the project's massing (public square), spatial hierarchy, and integration of architecture with the landscape. Sectional cuts, together with human figures and trees, communicate scale, movement, and the experiential quality of the proposed spaces.
