4. Farmgate Market - Urban Design Studio 2013
Dhaka, Bangladesh
Partner: Joseph O’Conner
Analysis and redesign of the significant economic and urban node of Farmgate, located in the capital city Dhaka, Bangladesh. Significant
focus was placed on cultural understanding and developing a non-western way of thinking. This was supported by a trip to Mumbai, India
to provide greater immersion. The resulting design created an active pedestrian space that integrated the unique micro-economy of the
street vendor culture with the use of various shading devices to allow it to thrive

Aphorism
Different roots that create one foundation;
A cultural meshing revealed.
Out of many, there came one.
Striving for the universal dream.
Hope drives the journey;
its light illuminates paths unknown.
Though its glow may dim through fear and yearning,
Hope endures.
A chance to start anew...
