Wow - probably a Gangetic Dolphin. These river dolphins were blind, they went almost extinct, like the ones in the Hwang Ho river in China.

Anyway - back to urban development. This below is a video UnIted Group's Hotel and shopping development within the airport periphery called "Centrepoint".

These river dolphins were blind,
no way they are blind

Btw Dhaka sometimes gives off this tropical vibe , sometimes its dustbowl from all the construction projects that are popping up . However i found Dhanmondi 27 and especially Lalmatia somewhat quiet and less hectic but still the traffic noise

Please educate yourself on what an architectural CGI render is and how buildings are designed in stages. Photos will be shared as they become available after buildings get completed.

so you are passing off "cgi" renders as buildings in Bangladesh.

Fine fine.
I am sure many here will pass of "cgi" renders of 5g planes as planes their airforce.

and they will be just as real

Retarded Indians as usual

Don't let him start a $hitfest in here. Just agree....

Who is going to tell these uneducated people how much effort and time it takes to produce a CGI software render (especially animated ones) and that no real estate developer would pay for coming up with one if they were not actually building it. I rarely see CGI renders for Indian projects, and guess why? The cost.

@Bleek bhai - do you agree?

Yes, unfortunately, the Gangetic dolphins have been blind since a million years ago because of their living in the muddy waters of the Ganges river mouths. Please read the excerpt below I found by random searching.

"Species such as the Gangetic dolphin were able to adapt to this muddied, saline environment that however came at the expense of vision, or at least vision in the way it works in humans".

"Gangetic rivers dolphins navigate using sound waves made by clicking sounds through their throat that bounce off targets and return to their large, flat heads with extremely sensitive auditory systems. They also have rods and cones, found in mammal eyes, that help tells light from the dark".

I really enjoy urban development and architecture so it's pretty amazing to see how Bangladesh is becoming the first South Asian country to follow the East Asian path of development while Dhaka is starting to follow some of the same urban planning principles and finally break the mold of the "chaotic" South Asian city.

That video definitely looks like one of the newer Chinese cities. It reminds me of the CBD of Zhengzhou in Hefei province with the circular designs.

Yes we have a lot to learn from how China has so rapidly developed. But more importantly how they created a long term vision. Again thanks to China for all their help.

No shade but these indians are typical third world people with first world wet dreams.

You are right - but not all Indians are retards like these. There are many highly enlightened progressive Indians, some of whom I consider my friends.

It's the new H1B recruits mostly, coming from uneducated families, probably the first to complete a third-rate IT diploma from a four month course.

New money going to their head, sometimes living in the US which is beyond their wildest dream come true.

While mentality is same small town dehati one - complete with ignorant cow-belt prejudices.

These semi-educated people are unfit to be members of any progressive society.

Unfortunately they are shaping the extremist and militant anti-Chinese Hindutva narrative in India nowadays, and their presence in social media in India belies their actual minor numbers.

Synthesizing Spatial Parity | Navana Sambilan

Designed with a strong concept of balance, Navana Sambilan stands on a north-facing plot of Banani. Architect Patrick D’ Rozario and A. K. M. Tanvir Hassan Niru with their team at Synthesis Architects characterized the building with a tree-oriented layout and elevated garden in close proximity to the cityscape on the horizon that goes all the way to the airport, including the lush green and the Kurmitola golf club. Synthesis synthesized the design with a combination of elements that brought about spatial parity.

Navana Sambilan’s design evolved around the wide-spread tree that catches attention at first sight and maintains both the road level and the distant view along with the very primary requirement for both flats on each floor to receive proper light and ventilation, ensured by the three-way opening on both front and rear flats. Amidst the limitation and struggle to provide equal facility to both sides, the architect balanced it by providing the front faced flat with a road view and light from the North whereas the flats at the back enjoyed the south wind. The lower parts were at the disadvantageous end, receiving less light, air ventilation, and were shadowed compared to the ones at higher heights, which got an uninterrupted view from the top. But being on the lower section also meant being closer to the ground and green.

The architect closed the disparity by utilizing the strength and came up with the design of the elevated garden that not just provided a breathing space but rather took the green into the building. The well-thought design for the garden to be elevated was very much functional with it being camouflaged with the ramp that goes underneath, hiding it from sight and opening a clear view. The inhabitants and users are provided with a smooth drop-off and spacious circulation and are welcomed into a double-height lobby. Not only is the residential building facilitated with community floors and an infinity pool on the rooftop, but the mezzanine floors also ensure proper natural light that helps to create a serene ambience.

The whole journey from being on drawing to taking the form of the building evolved with time, overcoming multiple constraints.

The first one was during the construction of the basement. The proximity of the newly constructed multi-storied building on the adjacent plot posed a threat to the basement construction. So, they had to change their whole piling system and design of the basement to accommodate the newly aroused situation so as not to damage the other structures. The change brought to the design helped to create some space that was used beyond parking, and the design became more user-friendly as they were able to accommodate temporary storage along with the drivers’ living arrangements and other service needs.

More changes had to be made because of the tree roots that came very close to the basement and the architects did not want to cause damage to the tree because of their construction. Dealing with problems posed by the basement of the adjacent plot and the tree took a significant amount of time that ultimately delayed their overall construction time. Such constraints, although bringing changes to the original design, also brings new opportunities for something more interesting. The architect delivered a design while working professionally with Navana Real Estate as a developer as well as on a personal scale with one of the owners being a friend.

Navana Sambilan is a project that reflects a design process that is sensitive towards the site and users and is a balanced combination of function and aesthetics.

Standing at a peaceful niche in North Gulshan, THREE rises with a mesmerizing design while overlooking the Gulshan Lake, and is the tallest building in the area. The strikingly attractive building with a fair face elevation will be punctuated by mind soothing greenery; promising vertical green walls and tall trees throughout the facade.

The exclusivity of luxury is very simple- it's not meant for everyone. THREE offers the very best lifestyle that can be afforded and pursued only by those with a finer taste and a commitment to a luxurious lifestyle.
