该项目中，这座 “RED “建筑被配置为教师和学生的互动空间和灵感来源。主要的重点是设计建筑的方式，以确保最大的紧凑的程序和最小的占用地块。这座3层楼的建筑提供了教室、行政室、多功能厅和图书馆空间。此外，这栋建筑的屋顶设计是为了容纳学生的户外活动，这是一个重要的特点。宽大的可操作玻璃窗的引入，确保了充足的日光和空气流通，从而最大限度地减少了能源消耗。为了降低启动成本，在这个建筑空间里安排了二手家具。

The project, this “RED” building is configured as a space of interaction and source of inspiration for both teachers and students. The main focus was to design the building in such a way that ensures maximum compactness of the program and the minimum occupancy of the plot. This 3-storied building has provision for classrooms, administration rooms, multipurpose hall and library spaces. In addition, the roof of this building is designed to accommodate student’s outdoor activities which represents an important feature. Wide operable glass windows are introduced to ensure plenty of daylight and air circulation which minimize energy consumption. To cut down the startup cost, pre-owned furniture was arranged in this building space.

这个项目的背景故事相当有趣。项目的先决条件是建造一个低维护的建筑。由于客户的预算危机，我们决定，最初将有一个单一的建筑，包括所有的设施来运行课程。如果效果良好，那么将继续进行进一步的开发。客户在第一次会议上就提到，他把这栋楼想象成一个 “红色 “的建筑。重要的是，”RED “在我们的文化中象征着几百年来的力量，行政大楼在我们的次大陆被称为 “LAL DALAN”（红色建筑）。

The background story of the project is quite interesting. The prerequisite of the project was to construct a low maintenance building. Because of the client’s budget crisis, it was decided that, initially there will be a single building consisting of all facilities to run the curriculum. If it works out well, then further development will be continued. Client mentioned at the very first meeting that he imagined this building as a ”RED” one. It is important to note that “RED” symbolizes strength in our culture for centuries and the Administrative Buildings were known as “LAL DALAN” (Red Building) in our subcontinent.

这个 “LAL DALAN “历史上在我们心中留下了权力的形象。因此，在设计一座现代化的教学楼的同时，要实现客户的这一独特要求，是一个相当大的挑战。除此之外，现场条件也让这项工作极具挑战性。那是一片地震多发的贫瘠土地，风势过大，位于达卡市郊。由于客户有未来扩张的计划，因此将场地的一角地块分配给了该建筑。就这样开始了。这栋楼只执行了两年（2016-2018）。之后又建立了一栋新的教学楼，以更大规模地运行学术课程。但这栋 “RED “依然作为标志性的建筑，鼓舞着大家。

This “LAL DALAN” historically left an image of power in our mind. So it was quite a challenge to achieve this unique demand of the client while designing a modern academic building. Besides that, site conditions made this work very challenging. It was an earthquake prone, barren land with excessive wind thrust and located at the outskirts of Dhaka city. A corner plot of the site was allotted for the building as the client had the plan of future expansion. That’s how it started. This building solely performed for two years (2016-2018). After that a new academic building was established to run the academic curriculum on a larger scale. But this “RED” one remains as an iconic and inspirational one for all.

这座建筑在砖砌体上展现了 “精致的工艺形式”。由于该地极易发生地震，因此建筑基本采用钢结构设计，并加设支架。此外，这种结构设计方法可以缩短工期。本建筑的基本材料化是用卵石清洗技术制备的手工砖片表面。红色纹理的砖片马赛克被用作地面装饰。这种红色纹理的地面装修与手工砖片墙面相得益彰。采用这种纹理材料的单一外部解决方案，目的是为了统一和纯度，这是产生体积的恒定。这种材料不仅是可持续的，免维护的，而且是单体的，具有一定的永久性地位。此外，过大的风推力使得在这个场地几乎不可能使用宽大的玻璃表面。通过在玻璃表面前引入一层L型金属百叶，克服了这种气候条件。这些金属百叶起到了挡风板的作用，将风的推力降到最低。

This building exhibits ‘Delicate Form of Craftsmanship” in brick masonry. The building is basically designed of steel structure with bracing as the site is very vulnerable for earthquakes. Besides, this approach to structural design reduces the time of construction period. Fundamental materialization of this building is handmade brick chips surface prepared with pebble wash technique. Red textured brick chips mosaic is used as floor finish. This red textured floor finish complements the handmade brick chips wall surfaces. Adoption of a single exterior solution with this textured material aimed at uniformity and purity which is the constant to generate the volume. This material is not only sustainable and maintenance free but also monolithic and has a certain permanent status. In addition, excessive wind thrust made it nearly impossible to use a wide glass surface on this site. This climatic condition was overcome by introducing a layer of L-shaped metal louvers in front of the glass surface. These metal louvers work as a windbreaker and minimize the wind thrust.

这个项目的成就是其独特的Envelope施工工艺。这种方法使该建筑不仅具有文化意义，而且具有优良的气候条件。由于孟加拉国属于亚热带季风气候，外立面的气候保护是非常关键的，而这种创新的外立面解决方案就实现了这一点。早期，我国砖墙有一层很薄的贝壳石灰抹灰涂层，起到了防风雨的作用，并保留了外立面的装饰性。这种工艺装饰是我国古代历史文化不可分割的一部分，在本工程中采用了这种工艺装饰来建造这座 “红色 “建筑。

The achievement of this project is the unique construction process of its Envelope. This method made the building not only culturally significant but also climatically excellent. As Bangladesh has a subtropical monsoon climate, weather protection of the exterior façade is very crucial which was achieved by this innovative exterior solution. In the early period, brick walls had a very thin layer of shell lime plaster coat in our country which worked as a weather protection and retained the ornamentation of the exterior façade. This crafted ornamentation was an inseparable part of our ancient history and culture which was adopted in this project to construct this “RED” building.

更加方便快捷的机械化施工技术取代了这种传统的施工方法。这是一个努力采用这种古老的技术，以现代的方式。虽然使用了波特兰水泥和细砖片来代替贝壳石灰石膏，但工艺的本质是一样的。为了达到这种材料质量，这整座建筑（外部和内部）都是由专业的泥瓦匠手工洗掉的。现场可用的细砖片使其更具经济可持续性，而免维护和低能耗的特点使该建筑成为环保和独特的建筑。

Availability of easier and faster machine based construction technology replaced this traditional construction method. This is an endeavor to adopt this ancient technique in a modern way. Though portland cement and fine brick chips were used instead of shell lime plaster, the essence of craftsmanship was the same. To achieve this material quality, this whole building (exterior and interior) was manually washed off by expert masons. Availability of fine brick chips on site made it more economically sustainable and the maintenance free and less energy consumption features made this building environmentally friendly and unique one.
