=== Dresden ===
(German pronunciation: [ˈdʁeːsdən]; Upper Sorbian: Drježdźany) is the capital city[2] of the Free State of Saxony in Germany. It is situated in a valley on the River Elbe, near the Czech border. The Dresden conurbation is part of the Saxon Triangle metropolitan area with 2.4 million inhabitants.[3]

Dresden has a long history as the capital and royal residence for the Electors and Kings of Saxony, who for centuries furnished the city with cultural and artistic splendor. The city was known as the Jewel Box, because of its baroque and rococo city center. The controversial British and American bombing of Dresden in World War II towards the end of the war killed approximately 25,000, many of whom were civilians, and destroyed the entire city center. The bombing gutted the city, as it did for other major German cities. After the war restoration work has helped to reconstruct parts of the historic inner city, including the Katholische Hofkirche, the Semper Oper and the Dresdner Frauenkirche as well as the suburbs.

Before and since German reunification in 1990, Dresden was and is a cultural, educational, political and economic center of Germany and Europe. The Dresden University of Technology is one of the 10 largest universities in Germany and part of the German Universities Excellence Initiative.' (Wikipedia

'''Dresden is one of the greenest cities in all of Europe, with 63% of the city being green areas and forests''' (Wikipedia)

Having this reputation the contrast of the small industrial area in the west part of the city strikes one as a strong contrast and give a sence of alteration in the urban canvas of the capital of Saxony.

''"The production buildings connected by a tunnel with a depot on the opposite side of the street has been designed as the first part of a not completed because of the world economic crisis the complex production of food (bakery, brewery, and distillery). The building consists of two six-story, one another at an obtuse angle vanes arranged and an eight-story tower. The equipped with loading ramps, convex Hofseiten are straight and the concave road adaptive front opposite. the framed by cornice window bands are street side led around by a five-story staircase, the street front on the formed by the two wing apex also extended. The system is designed according to principles Objectivity in disguise with red brick steel frame. It was changed after war damage and gutted in 1995."''
(G. Lupfer ''et.al.'' 1997)

=== Material: Red Brick ===

Sandstone, stone, plaster are known as typical facade materials in Saxony. Brick, brick, clinker is associated with North Germany, Hanseatic cities such as Lübeck and Hamburg. In the Saxon cities of Dresden, Leipzig and Chemnitz but there are several notable buildings, ensembles and settlements in the early decades of the 20th century, which are influenced by the material of clinker with its various ochers, reds, browns - a building material that can be considered more sustainable chances. (''Ehem. Fleischverarbeitungsbetrieb der Konsumgenossenschaft "Vorwärts" Gelungene Symbiose von Schönheit und Zweckdienlichkeit'' )

"As a result of an architectural competition to build a new meat factory in Dresden was built Löbtau. As part Nahmer the Bauhaus director Walter Gropius and the successful Dresdner Office Schilling and Gräbner also had lined up. (...)
Due to the consistency with which Bärbig designed by the great shape of the factory, he clearly approaches the ideals of dynamic architecture, whose protagonists in these years, Erich Mendelsohn belonged. Bärbig decreases with basic elements of dynamic functionalism terms of Mendelsohn's Schocken department store in Stuttgart.
The largely remained unknown architect is thus the author of a typical twenties and in the Saxon metropolis unusually consistent factory building. "(H.C. Schink and T. Richter. 1997).

=== Kurt Bärbig 1889 - 1968 ===

In 1923 he was appointed as the sole architect of Dresden in the German Academy for Urban. Bärbigs progressive, characterized by social aspects of urban and landscape design pays homage to the spirit of the times of objectivity, material relatedness and an effort to "Created time". Born in Dresden in 1889 architect who immigrated to Brazil in 1934 and came to the ruined city of the communist zone of Germany after 1945 back. In 1952, he was Head of freelance architects in the competition for the redesign of Dresden. In addition to Schneider and Rascher himself had e.g. Bärbig also involved in the competition for the new Market Square, but was eliminated at the first attempt.

=== Threatening problems===

''Flood:'' "Widespread across Saxony, the extreme flood of August 2002 led to massive damages, which could not be fully remedied to date. Besides reconstruction, numerous measures have been taken to provide for protection from future floods. Nevertheless, absolute security will never be guaranteed. Taking action responsibly in the regions at risk is an important key component of flood prevention." (''Flood Trail Elbe in the Region of Dresden'')

''Food Security:'' The floods or other climatic events can result in poor crop yields and threaten the food security of the city.

'' Lack of Green in Industrial Area:'' Although projects of GI techniques are planned on a long term, the industrial area is still dominated by big buildings, lack of green space, and an uninviting environment for the community and visitors

''History and Culture:'' The Food Production factory failed due to the World Economic Crisis from 1920, but the fact that is not now active with any function, may lead to losing the cultural heritage that the Architect Kurt Bärbig left behind.

== What are the overall objectives of your design? What are the specific objectives for enhancing green infrastructure? ==

''Please give a short written argumentation (not more than 150 words). It is ok if you have different or even contradicting objectives within your group. Just make it explicit at the beginning of your process ''

The main objective of this project is to reactivate the abandoned factory that is an important architectural heritage of the city's architect from the 1920s, ''Kurt Bärbig''. The means of doing that are harnessing the high potential of being a landmark, giving functions of food production, education and pylon in Green Infrastructure strategy. The factory should be linked with important sites of the city and should bring more green in the grey industrial area. An important strategy for the developing of the factory is using the resources in a smart way through integrating GI technologies. We want to find ways of using all available resources(river, active factories) in a smart way, and integrating the project in the site context.

== Analytical drawings ==
''Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case. Every group member needs to contribute at least one drawing.''

=== Dresden ===
(German pronunciation: [ˈdʁeːsdən]; Upper Sorbian: Drježdźany) is the capital city[2] of the Free State of Saxony in Germany. It is situated in a valley on the River Elbe, near the Czech border. The Dresden conurbation is part of the Saxon Triangle metropolitan area with 2.4 million inhabitants.[3]

Dresden has a long history as the capital and royal residence for the Electors and Kings of Saxony, who for centuries furnished the city with cultural and artistic splendor. The city was known as the Jewel Box, because of its baroque and rococo city center. The controversial British and American bombing of Dresden in World War II towards the end of the war killed approximately 25,000, many of whom were civilians, and destroyed the entire city center. The bombing gutted the city, as it did for other major German cities. After the war restoration work has helped to reconstruct parts of the historic inner city, including the Katholische Hofkirche, the Semper Oper and the Dresdner Frauenkirche as well as the suburbs.

Before and since German reunification in 1990, Dresden was and is a cultural, educational, political and economic center of Germany and Europe. The Dresden University of Technology is one of the 10 largest universities in Germany and part of the German Universities Excellence Initiative.' (Wikipedia

'''Dresden is one of the greenest cities in all of Europe, with 63% of the city being green areas and forests''' (Wikipedia)

Having this reputation the contrast of the small industrial area in the west part of the city strikes one as a strong contrast and give a sence of alteration in the urban canvas of the capital of Saxony.

''"The production buildings connected by a tunnel with a depot on the opposite side of the street has been designed as the first part of a not completed because of the world economic crisis the complex production of food (bakery, brewery, and distillery). The building consists of two six-story, one another at an obtuse angle vanes arranged and an eight-story tower. The equipped with loading ramps, convex Hofseiten are straight and the concave road adaptive front opposite. the framed by cornice window bands are street side led around by a five-story staircase, the street front on the formed by the two wing apex also extended. The system is designed according to principles Objectivity in disguise with red brick steel frame. It was changed after war damage and gutted in 1995."''
(G. Lupfer ''et.al.'' 1997)

=== Material: Red Brick ===

Sandstone, stone, plaster are known as typical facade materials in Saxony. Brick, brick, clinker is associated with North Germany, Hanseatic cities such as Lübeck and Hamburg. In the Saxon cities of Dresden, Leipzig and Chemnitz but there are several notable buildings, ensembles and settlements in the early decades of the 20th century, which are influenced by the material of clinker with its various ochers, reds, browns - a building material that can be considered more sustainable chances. (''Ehem. Fleischverarbeitungsbetrieb der Konsumgenossenschaft "Vorwärts" Gelungene Symbiose von Schönheit und Zweckdienlichkeit'' )

"As a result of an architectural competition to build a new meat factory in Dresden was built Löbtau. As part Nahmer the Bauhaus director Walter Gropius and the successful Dresdner Office Schilling and Gräbner also had lined up. (...)
Due to the consistency with which Bärbig designed by the great shape of the factory, he clearly approaches the ideals of dynamic architecture, whose protagonists in these years, Erich Mendelsohn belonged. Bärbig decreases with basic elements of dynamic functionalism terms of Mendelsohn's Schocken department store in Stuttgart.
The largely remained unknown architect is thus the author of a typical twenties and in the Saxon metropolis unusually consistent factory building. "(H.C. Schink and T. Richter. 1997).

=== Kurt Bärbig 1889 - 1968 ===

In 1923 he was appointed as the sole architect of Dresden in the German Academy for Urban. Bärbigs progressive, characterized by social aspects of urban and landscape design pays homage to the spirit of the times of objectivity, material relatedness and an effort to "Created time". Born in Dresden in 1889 architect who immigrated to Brazil in 1934 and came to the ruined city of the communist zone of Germany after 1945 back. In 1952, he was Head of freelance architects in the competition for the redesign of Dresden. In addition to Schneider and Rascher himself had e.g. Bärbig also involved in the competition for the new Market Square, but was eliminated at the first attempt.

=== Threatening problems===

''Flood:'' "Widespread across Saxony, the extreme flood of August 2002 led to massive damages, which could not be fully remedied to date. Besides reconstruction, numerous measures have been taken to provide for protection from future floods. Nevertheless, absolute security will never be guaranteed. Taking action responsibly in the regions at risk is an important key component of flood prevention." (''Flood Trail Elbe in the Region of Dresden'')

''Food Security:'' The floods or other climatic events can result in poor crop yields and threaten the food security of the city.

'' Lack of Green in Industrial Area:'' Although projects of GI techniques are planned on a long term, the industrial area is still dominated by big buildings, lack of green space, and an uninviting environment for the community and visitors

''History and Culture:'' The Food Production factory failed due to the World Economic Crisis from 1920, but the fact that is not now active with any function, may lead to losing the cultural heritage that the Architect Kurt Bärbig left behind.

== What are the overall objectives of your design? What are the specific objectives for enhancing green infrastructure? ==

''Please give a short written argumentation (not more than 150 words). It is ok if you have different or even contradicting objectives within your group. Just make it explicit at the beginning of your process ''

The main objective of this project is to reactivate the abandoned factory that is an important architectural heritage of the city's architect from the 1920s, ''Kurt Bärbig''. The means of doing that are harnessing the high potential of being a landmark, giving functions of food production, education and pylon in Green Infrastructure strategy. The factory should be linked with important sites of the city and should bring more green in the grey industrial area. An important strategy for the developing of the factory is using the resources in a smart way through integrating GI technologies. We want to find ways of using all available resources(river, active factories) in a smart way, and integrating the project in the site context.

== Analytical drawings ==
''Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case. Every group member needs to contribute at least one drawing.''

=== Dresden ===
(German pronunciation: [ˈdʁeːsdən]; Upper Sorbian: Drježdźany) is the capital city[2] of the Free State of Saxony in Germany. It is situated in a valley on the River Elbe, near the Czech border. The Dresden conurbation is part of the Saxon Triangle metropolitan area with 2.4 million inhabitants.[3]

Dresden has a long history as the capital and royal residence for the Electors and Kings of Saxony, who for centuries furnished the city with cultural and artistic splendor. The city was known as the Jewel Box, because of its baroque and rococo city center. The controversial British and American bombing of Dresden in World War II towards the end of the war killed approximately 25,000, many of whom were civilians, and destroyed the entire city center. The bombing gutted the city, as it did for other major German cities. After the war restoration work has helped to reconstruct parts of the historic inner city, including the Katholische Hofkirche, the Semper Oper and the Dresdner Frauenkirche as well as the suburbs.

Before and since German reunification in 1990, Dresden was and is a cultural, educational, political and economic center of Germany and Europe. The Dresden University of Technology is one of the 10 largest universities in Germany and part of the German Universities Excellence Initiative.' (Wikipedia

'''Dresden is one of the greenest cities in all of Europe, with 63% of the city being green areas and forests''' (Wikipedia)

Having this reputation the contrast of the small industrial area in the west part of the city strikes one as a strong contrast and give a sence of alteration in the urban canvas of the capital of Saxony.

=== Site Location ===

*Architect: ''Kurt Bärbig''
*Great Garage: ''Karl Schmidt''
*Construction period: ''1927-1930''
*Vacancy: ''since 1991''
*Address: ''Fabrikstraße 13 01159 Dresden''
''51.039080, 13.707983''

''"The production buildings connected by a tunnel with a depot on the opposite side of the street has been designed as the first part of a not completed because of the world economic crisis the complex production of food (bakery, brewery, and distillery). The building consists of two six-story, one another at an obtuse angle vanes arranged and an eight-story tower. The equipped with loading ramps, convex Hofseiten are straight and the concave road adaptive front opposite. the framed by cornice window bands are street side led around by a five-story staircase, the street front on the formed by the two wing apex also extended. The system is designed according to principles Objectivity in disguise with red brick steel frame. It was changed after war damage and gutted in 1995."''
(G. Lupfer ''et.al.'' 1997)

=== Material: Red Brick ===

Sandstone, stone, plaster are known as typical facade materials in Saxony. Brick, brick, clinker is associated with North Germany, Hanseatic cities such as Lübeck and Hamburg. In the Saxon cities of Dresden, Leipzig and Chemnitz but there are several notable buildings, ensembles and settlements in the early decades of the 20th century, which are influenced by the material of clinker with its various ochers, reds, browns - a building material that can be considered more sustainable chances. (''Ehem. Fleischverarbeitungsbetrieb der Konsumgenossenschaft "Vorwärts" Gelungene Symbiose von Schönheit und Zweckdienlichkeit'' )

"As a result of an architectural competition to build a new meat factory in Dresden was built Löbtau. As part Nahmer the Bauhaus director Walter Gropius and the successful Dresdner Office Schilling and Gräbner also had lined up. (...)
Due to the consistency with which Bärbig designed by the great shape of the factory, he clearly approaches the ideals of dynamic architecture, whose protagonists in these years, Erich Mendelsohn belonged. Bärbig decreases with basic elements of dynamic functionalism terms of Mendelsohn's Schocken department store in Stuttgart.
The largely remained unknown architect is thus the author of a typical twenties and in the Saxon metropolis unusually consistent factory building. "(H.C. Schink and T. Richter. 1997).

=== Kurt Bärbig 1889 - 1968 ===

In 1923 he was appointed as the sole architect of Dresden in the German Academy for Urban. Bärbigs progressive, characterized by social aspects of urban and landscape design pays homage to the spirit of the times of objectivity, material relatedness and an effort to "Created time". Born in Dresden in 1889 architect who immigrated to Brazil in 1934 and came to the ruined city of the communist zone of Germany after 1945 back. In 1952, he was Head of freelance architects in the competition for the redesign of Dresden. In addition to Schneider and Rascher himself had e.g. Bärbig also involved in the competition for the new Market Square, but was eliminated at the first attempt.

=== Threatening problems===

''Flood:'' "Widespread across Saxony, the extreme flood of August 2002 led to massive damages, which could not be fully remedied to date. Besides reconstruction, numerous measures have been taken to provide for protection from future floods. Nevertheless, absolute security will never be guaranteed. Taking action responsibly in the regions at risk is an important key component of flood prevention." (''Flood Trail Elbe in the Region of Dresden'')

''Food Security:'' The floods or other climatic events can result in poor crop yields and threaten the food security of the city.

'' Lack of Green in Industrial Area:'' Although projects of GI techniques are planned on a long term, the industrial area is still dominated by big buildings, lack of green space, and an uninviting environment for the community and visitors

''History and Culture:'' The Food Production factory failed due to the World Economic Crisis from 1920, but the fact that is not now active with any function, may lead to losing the cultural heritage that the Architect Kurt Bärbig left behind.

== What are the overall objectives of your design? What are the specific objectives for enhancing green infrastructure? ==

''Please give a short written argumentation (not more than 150 words). It is ok if you have different or even contradicting objectives within your group. Just make it explicit at the beginning of your process ''

The main objective of this project is to reactivate the abandoned factory that is an important architectural heritage of the city's architect from the 1920s, ''Kurt Bärbig''. The means of doing that are harnessing the high potential of being a landmark, giving functions of food production, education and pylon in Green Infrastructure strategy. The factory should be linked with important sites of the city and should bring more green in the grey industrial area. An important strategy for the developing of the factory is using the resources in a smart way through integrating GI technologies. We want to find ways of using all available resources(river, active factories) in a smart way, and integrating the project in the site context.

== Analytical drawings ==
''Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case. Every group member needs to contribute at least one drawing.''

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

''Please explain in short why this site has green infrastructure potential and what makes it special (150 words approx)''

Central Railway Building –CRB is situated in the scenic hilly area of Chittagong.
It is the oldest building of Chittagong acting as a Governing office for the General Manager of Bangladesh Railway established in 1872.
There is a hospital and residential buildings for railway officers surrounding it.
It is the only open spaces in Chittagong where people always come to have a walk or have a chat with others,
young people come here to lollygag, children from nearer place playing here.
But one’s activities hinder another’s as this space is not shaped in a planned way.
As a luck of open spaces, this space also perform as a venue of cultural program
in “BANGLA NOBOBARSHA” (Bangla new year).
This space also has a negative impact on society as it becomes silent at night without having proper activities and turned into a crime zone.

One open spaces in the city having lots of activities has a great opportunity for GI planning
and its very challenging too. It should have development considering the social and cultural aspects.

== Author's perspective ==
''what is your professional/educational background and your relation to the site?''

I completed my bachelor in Architecture in 2008. Until 1st half of 2014,I worked in a consulting firm as an architect. Now I enrolled in IMLA program. Chittagong is my home town. Its a very beautiful city having all natural features like hills, river, sea , lake. But it losing its glory day by day because of proper awareness of people and without maintenance .CRB hill is a very beautiful place in the city center and this space needs more care. Being an architect and in near future will be a Landscape Architect ,I have my desire to implement my knowledge in the betterment of my city.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

*''Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics''
*''Illustrations: maps; sketches; short descriptive analyses''
Chittagong is the second largest city and main seaport of Bangladesh. Chittagong is very different in terms of topography as the city is the part of hilly region. Central Railway Building one of the most old building built in British Colonial time. Now it’s act as a Headquarter of Bangladesh Railway.It is nice attractive huge building made of red bricks. The surroundings area is a quite place.At the opposite side of the CRB building, there is a Cardiac Hospital ,also there is an old rail steam engine for dipaly. The.The site is bounded with of rain trees and banyan trees and consists of medium to high elevation area. CRB building is in 136 feet high. Seven roads from different parts of the city meet in this site. And the junction area called “Shat raster matha” (Head of seven roads).At the south west of the site there is a CNG station and a large field where every year International Trade Fair take place.And at the north east,there is an only stadium of the city.

== Green Infrastructure benefits for this site ==
.Look again at the multiple benefits of green infrastructure - what could be achieved in your site and which are most relevant?

By implementing GI, this site will be benefited by environmentally, socially, economically and culturally.
GI will improve the whole environment of the site adopting water management system, proper drainage system.
Improving pedestrian connection, providing new bicycle track,
creating open spaces will improve people’s gathering in this site as well improve social interaction.
As many people gather in this place, as many business opportunity will grow. This will help the economy.
By designing a amphitheater in a small scale will enhance people’s cultural activities.

== Potential for multifunctionality ==
''Green infrastructure has typically multiple functions. What could be achieved for your site in this respect?''

This site is the junction point of seven roads coming from different parts of the city. And also has multifunctional structure in it like hospital, railway office and recreational space. People will come in this space with multiple objectives.
Hospital patients will have better environment and it’s also improve their mental health.
People from neighborhood can have their morning or evening walk here or can do cycle ling which will improves their physical health as well as mental health.
Office people enjoying coming to this place. Better working environment will improve working capacity.
Children form neighboring area will get enough spaces for play.
The place becomes dead at night so solar powered lighting source may change it also a night time public place. Few mobile shops gather around here time to time and there are some semi permanent shops are also present here which serves amenities to the people which can be designed in a suitable way.The old railway building can also be a part of city tour as it is a brilliant peace of colonial structure. This place is also used as Bengali New Year fair and cultural programs although there is no proper planned stage or other necessary facilities. Public toilet is also a very thing that needed here as well as some proper dustbin. In some places the very old retaining walls are decoying which are seriously needed repairmen or new built one.

== Projective drawings ==
* ''How would you like this case to change in the near future? (in 1-2 years)''
** ''you may add a short explanation here''

* ''And how could it look like in 10-15 years?''
** ''you may add a short explanation here''

== Summary and conclusion ==
*''100 words approx.''
My vision is to create some positive changes with as less intervention of masses and structures as possible to preserve its natural quality. There are lots of activities around here of different type and ages of people which is not connected by proper planning. The design proposal will consider these activities and make suggestions based on the present condition.This site has much more potential for GI and by implementing GI, the site can be turn into a more developed, healthy and attractive space for city people.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

''Please explain in short why this site has green infrastructure potential and what makes it special (150 words approx)''

Central Railway Building –CRB is situated in the scenic hilly area of Chittagong.
It is the oldest building of Chittagong acting as a Governing office for the General Manager of Bangladesh Railway established in 1872.
There is a hospital and residential buildings for railway officers surrounding it.
It is the only open spaces in Chittagong where people always come to have a walk or have a chat with others,
young people come here to lollygag, children from nearer place playing here.
But one’s activities hinder another’s as this space is not shaped in a planned way.
As a luck of open spaces, this space also perform as a venue of cultural program
in “BANGLA NOBOBARSHA” (Bangla new year).
This space also has a negative impact on society as it becomes silent at night without having proper activities and turned into a crime zone.

One open spaces in the city having lots of activities has a great opportunity for GI planning
and its very challenging too. It should have development considering the social and cultural aspects.

== Author's perspective ==
''what is your professional/educational background and your relation to the site?''

I completed my bachelor in Architecture in 2008. Until 1st half of 2014,I worked in a consulting firm as an architect. Now I enrolled in IMLA program. Chittagong is my home town. Its a very beautiful city having all natural features like hills, river, sea , lake. But it losing its glory day by day because of proper awareness of people and without maintenance .CRB hill is a very beautiful place in the city center and this space needs more care. Being an architect and in near future will be a Landscape Architect ,I have my desire to implement my knowledge in the betterment of my city.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

Chittagong is the second largest city and main seaport of Bangladesh. Chittagong is very different in terms of topography as the city is the part of hilly region. Central Railway Building one of the most old building built in British Colonial time. Now it’s act as a Headquarter of Bangladesh Railway.It is nice attractive huge building made of red bricks. The surroundings area is a quite place.At the opposite side of the CRB building, there is a Cardiac Hospital ,also there is an old rail steam engine for dipaly. The.The site is bounded with of rain trees and banyan trees and consists of medium to high elevation area. CRB building is in 136 feet high. Seven roads from different parts of the city meet in this site. And the junction area called “Shat raster matha” (Head of seven roads).At the south west of the site there is a CNG station and a large field where every year International Trade Fair take place.And at the north east,there is an only stadium of the city.

== Green Infrastructure benefits for this site ==
.Look again at the multiple benefits of green infrastructure - what could be achieved in your site and which are most relevant?

By implementing GI, this site will be benefited by environmentally, socially, economically and culturally.
GI will improve the whole environment of the site adopting water management system, proper drainage system.
Improving pedestrian connection, providing new bicycle track,
creating open spaces will improve people’s gathering in this site as well improve social interaction.
As many people gather in this place, as many business opportunity will grow. This will help the economy.
By designing a amphitheater in a small scale will enhance people’s cultural activities.

== Potential for multifunctionality ==
''Green infrastructure has typically multiple functions. What could be achieved for your site in this respect?''

This site is the junction point of seven roads coming from different parts of the city. And also has multifunctional structure in it like hospital, railway office and recreational space. People will come in this space with multiple objectives.
Hospital patients will have better environment and it’s also improve their mental health.
People from neighborhood can have their morning or evening walk here or can do cycle ling which will improves their physical health as well as mental health.
Office people enjoying coming to this place. Better working environment will improve working capacity.
Children form neighboring area will get enough spaces for play.
Amphitheater will boost up people’s cultural activities
Food business can raise up.

== Summary and conclusion ==
*''100 words approx.''
My vision is to create some positive changes with as less intervention of masses and structures as possible to preserve its natural quality. There are lots of activities around here of different type and ages of people which is not connected by proper planning. The design proposal will consider these activities and make suggestions based on the present condition.This site has much more potential for GI and by implementing GI, the site can be turn into a more developed, healthy and attractive space for city people.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

''Please explain in short why this site has green infrastructure potential and what makes it special (150 words approx)''

Central Railway Building –CRB is situated in the scenic hilly area of Chittagong.
It is the oldest building of Chittagong acting as a Governing office for the General Manager of Bangladesh Railway established in 1872.
There is a hospital and residential buildings for railway officers surrounding it.
It is the only open spaces in Chittagong where people always come to have a walk or have a chat with others,
young people come here to lollygag, children from nearer place playing here.
But one’s activities hinder another’s as this space is not shaped in a planned way.
As a luck of open spaces, this space also perform as a venue of cultural program
in “BANGLA NOBOBARSHA” (Bangla new year).
This space also has a negative impact on society as it becomes silent at night without having proper activities and turned into a crime zone.

One open spaces in the city having lots of activities has a great opportunity for GI planning
and its very challenging too. It should have development considering the social and cultural aspects.

== Author's perspective ==
''what is your professional/educational background and your relation to the site?''

I completed my bachelor in Architecture in 2008. Until 1st half of 2014,I worked in a consulting firm as an architect. Now I enrolled in IMLA program. Chittagong is my home town. Its a very beautiful city having all natural features like hills, river, sea , lake. But it losing its glory day by day because of proper awareness of people and without maintenance .CRB hill is a very beautiful place in the city center and this space needs more care. Being an architect and in near future will be a Landscape Architect ,I have my desire to implement my knowledge in the betterment of my city.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

*''Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics''
*''Illustrations: maps; sketches; short descriptive analyses''
Chittagong is the second largest city and main seaport of Bangladesh. Chittagong is very different in terms of topography as the city is the part of hilly region. Central Railway Building one of the most old building built in British Colonial time. Now it’s act as a Headquarter of Bangladesh Railway.It is nice attractive huge building made of red bricks. The surroundings area is a quite place.At the opposite side of the CRB building, there is a Cardiac Hospital ,also there is an old rail steam engine for dipaly. The.The site is bounded with of rain trees and banyan trees and consists of medium to high elevation area. CRB building is in 136 feet high. Seven roads from different parts of the city meet in this site.

== Green Infrastructure benefits for this site ==
.Look again at the multiple benefits of green infrastructure - what could be achieved in your site and which are most relevant?

By implementing GI, this site will be benefited by environmentally, socially, economically and culturally.
GI will improve the whole environment of the site adopting water management system, proper drainage system.
Improving pedestrian connection, providing new bicycle track,
creating open spaces will improve people’s gathering in this site as well improve social interaction.
As many people gather in this place, as many business opportunity will grow. This will help the economy.
By designing a amphitheater in a small scale will enhance people’s cultural activities.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

''Please explain in short why this site has green infrastructure potential and what makes it special (150 words approx)''

Central Railway Building –CRB is situated in the scenic hilly area of Chittagong.
It is the oldest building of Chittagong acting as a Governing office for the General Manager of Bangladesh Railway established in 1872.
There is a hospital and residential buildings for railway officers surrounding it.
It is the only open spaces in Chittagong where people always come to have a walk or have a chat with others,
young people come here to lollygag, children from nearer place playing here.
But one’s activities hinder another’s as this space is not shaped in a planned way.
As a luck of open spaces, this space also perform as a venue of cultural program
in “BANGLA NOBOBARSHA” (Bangla new year).
This space also has a negative impact on society as it becomes silent at night without having proper activities and turned into a crime zone.

One open spaces in the city having lots of activities has a great opportunity for GI planning
and its very challenging too. It should have development considering the social and cultural aspects.

== Author's perspective ==
''what is your professional/educational background and your relation to the site?''

I completed my bachelor in Architecture in 2008. Until 1st half of 2014,I worked in a consulting firm as an architect. Now I enrolled in IMLA program. Chittagong is my home town. Its a very beautiful city having all natural features like hills, river, sea , lake. But it losing its glory day by day because of proper awareness of people and without maintenance .CRB hill is a very beautiful place in the city center and this space needs more care. Being an architect and in near future will be a Landscape Architect ,I have my desire to implement my knowledge in the betterment of my city.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

''Please explain in short why this site has green infrastructure potential and what makes it special (150 words approx)''

Central Railway Building –CRB is situated in the scenic hilly area of Chittagong.
It is the oldest building of Chittagong acting as a Governing office for the General Manager of Bangladesh Railway established in 1872.
There is a hospital and residential buildings for railway officers surrounding it.
It is the only open spaces in Chittagong where people always come to have a walk or have a chat with others,
young people come here to lollygag, children from nearer place playing here.
But one’s activities hinder another’s as this space is not shaped in a planned way.
As a luck of open spaces, this space also perform as a venue of cultural program
in “BANGLA NOBOBARSHA” (Bangla new year).
This space also has a negative impact on society as it becomes silent at night without having proper activities and turned into a crime zone.

One open spaces in the city having lots of activities has a great opportunity for GI planning
and its very challenging too. It should have development considering the social and cultural aspects.

''what is your professional/educational background and your relation to the site?''

I completed my bachelor in Architecture in 2008. Until 1st half of 2014,I worked in a consulting firm as an architect. Now I enrolled in IMLA program. Chittagong is my home town. Its a very beautiful city having all natural features like hills, river, sea , lake. But it losing its glory day by day because of proper awareness of people and without maintenance .CRB hill is a very beautiful place in the city center and this space needs more care. Being an architect and in near future will be a Landscape Architect ,I have my desire to implement my knowledge in the betterment of my city.

''what is your professional/educational background and your relation to the site?''

I completed my bachelor in Architecture in 2008. Until 1st half of 2014,I worked in a consulting firm as an architect. Now I enrolled in IMLA program. Chittagong is my home town. Its a very beautiful city having all natural features like hills, river, sea , lake. But it losing its glory day by day because of proper awareness of people and without maintenance .CRB hill is a very beautiful place in the city center and this space needs more care. Being an architect and in near future will be a Landscape Architect ,I have my desire to implement my knowledge in the betterment of my city.

By implementing GI, this sites will be benefited by environmentally, socially, economically and culturally.
GI will improve the whole environment of the site adopting water management system, proper drainage system.
Improving pedestrian connection, providing new bicycle track,
creating open spaces will improve people’s gathering in this site as well improve social interaction.
As many people gather in this place, as many business opportunity will grow. This will help in economy.
By designing a amphitheater in a small scale will enhance people’s cultural activities.

Central Railway Building –CRB is situated in the scenic hilly area of Chittagong.
It is the oldest building of Chittagong acting as a Governing office for the General Manager of Bangladesh Railway established in 1872.
There is a hospital and residential buildings for railway officers surrounding it.
It is the only open spaces in Chittagong where people always come to have a walk or have a chat with others,
young people come here to lollygag, children from nearer place playing here.
But one’s activities hinder another’s as this space is not shaped in a planned way.
As a luck of open spaces, this space also perform as a venue of cultural program
in “BANGLA NOBOBARSHA” (Bangla new year).
This space also has a negative impact on society as it becomes silent at night without having proper activities and turned into a crime zone.

One open spaces in the city having lots of activities has a great opportunity for GI planning
and its very challenging too. It should have development considering the social and cultural aspects.

Central Railway Building –CRB is situated in the scenic hilly area of Chittagong.
It is the oldest building of Chittagong acting as a Governing office for the General Manager of Bangladesh Railway established in 1872.
There is a hospital and residential buildings for railway officers surrounding it.
It is the only open spaces in Chittagong where people always come to have a walk or have a chat with others,
young people come here to lollygag, children from nearer place playing here.
But one’s activities hinder another’s as this space is not shaped in a planned way.
As a luck of open spaces, this space also perform as a venue of cultural program
in “BANGLA NOBOBARSHA” (Bangla new year).
This space also has a negative impact on society as it becomes silent at night without having proper activities and turned into a crime zone.

One open spaces in the city having lots of activities has a great opportunity for GI planning
and its very challenging too. It should have development considering the social and cultural aspects.

== Author's perspective ==
''what is your professional/educational background and your relation to the site?''

I completed my bachelor in Architecture in 2008. Until 1st half of 2014,I worked in a consulting firm as an architect. Now I enrolled in IMLA program. Chittagong is my home town. Its a very beautiful city having all natural features like hills, river, sea , lake. But it losing its glory day by day because of proper awareness of people and without maintenance .CRB hill is a very beautiful place in the city center and this space needs more care. Being an architect and in near future will be a Landscape Architect ,I have my desire to implement my knowledge in the betterment of my city.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==

*''Biogeography, cultural features, overall character, history and dynamics''
*''Illustrations: maps; sketches; short descriptive analyses''
Chittagong is the second largest city and main seaport of Bangladesh. Chittagong is very different in terms of topography as the city is the part of hilly region. Central Railway Building one of the most old building built in British Colonial time. Now it’s act as a Headquarter of Bangladesh Railway.It is nice attractive huge building made of red bricks. The surroundings area is a quite place.At the opposite side of the CRB building, there is a Cardiac Hospital ,also there is an old rail steam engine for dipaly. The.The site is bounded with of rain trees and banyan trees and consists of medium to high elevation area. CRB building is in 136 feet high. Seven roads from different parts of the city meet in this site. And the junction area called “Shat raster matha” (Head of seven roads).At the south west of the site there is a CNG station and a large field where every year International Trade Fair take place.And at the north east,there is an only stadium of the city.

== Green Infrastructure benefits for this site ==
''Look again at the multiple benefits of green infrastructure - what could be achieved in your site and which are most relevant?''
By implementing GI, this sites will be benefited by environmentally, socially, economically and culturally.
GI will improve the whole environment of the site adopting water management system, proper drainage system.
Improving pedestrian connection, providing new bicycle track,
creating open spaces will improve people’s gathering in this site as well improve social interaction.
As many people gather in this place, as many business opportunity will grow. This will help in economy.
By designing a amphitheater in a small scale will enhance people’s cultural activities.

== Potential for multifunctionality ==

''what is your professional/educational background and your relation to the site?''

I completed my bachelor in Architecture in 2008. Until 1st half of 2014,I worked in a consulting firm as an architect. Now I enrolled in IMLA program. Chittagong is my home town. Its a very beautiful city having all natural features like hills, river, sea , lake. But it losing its glory day by day because of proper awareness of people and without maintenance .CRB hill is a very beautiful place in the city center and this space needs more care. Being an architect and in near future will be a Landscape Architect ,I have my desire to implement my knowledge in the betterment of my city.
