项目位于孟加拉国著名的达卡大学内，被中央清真寺、中央图书馆、中央学生会大楼、历史悠久的食堂和社会科学学院新教学楼等重要地标所包围。改造前，项目场地曾是一处未被开发的开放空间。尽管位于达卡大学的中心地带，由于多年来一直无人看管，又遮蔽在周围建筑物的阴影下，这里只有在人们抄近路时才会被光顾。最终，这块场地成为鸡肋一般的存在，不具备实质性的功能，也没有任何创造性意义，不能为人们提供价值。在缺少人为干预的情况下，场地上的植被受到阳光与土壤的影响野蛮生长。

Surrounded by significant landmarks like Central Mosque, Central Library, Central Student Union Building, a historic Canteen and also the new building of the Faculty of Social Science, the open space failed to create any significance regarding the usage. Despite of being located at the heart of university of Dhaka, the area remained ‘unattended’ for years. The place itself had nothing to offer to the users, and was being used for shortcuts and dumping zone of construction debris for several years. Natural setting was random but guided by the influences like sunlight, condition of the soil and less human intervention.

项目旨在通过景观改造将这块荒废的场地变身成年轻人的聚会空间和师生们沉思自省的场所。为了使如此开放的场地更具活力，除了通过景观干预外，还需要运用建筑手段为项目增添视觉焦点，因此，一个半开放的食品亭便成为整个空间活力的催化剂，在吸引人流的同时激活了整个广场空间。

The objective of the project was to create a meeting place for the young mind, holding small gatherings which may act as a place for contemplation and reflection to the students and faculties. Maintenance of an open landscape in a prominent area like this demands additional attention and the requirement of a semi-open food kiosk emerged as the catalyst to maintain the site as well as making the space lively.

项目采用了传统的土方挖填策略，在地面以下及以上 3 英尺（约 0.9 米）的范围内进行挖方与填方，从而创建出起伏的景观地形。这种起伏的空间形态基于场地背景、树木配植以及周边建筑形式，在美学与功能方面都与周边环境相互呼应。

Construction Technology: Based on the very basic idea of ’Dig and Mound’, traditionally used in our context, topographical layers are created within a range of 3 feet below and above ground to create a landscape terrain. The shapes and spaces in the land formation emerged from the unique site specific pattern of existing trees and the surrounding built forms of distinct characteristics in terms of both aesthetic and program.
