By providing the context needs, it ensures people's participation and creating a platform to share and exchange views and beliefs. Meherpur, historically one of the significant districts which situated in the southwestern region of Bangladesh, in 1757, the sun of Bengal's independence was set for 200years again the proclamation of independence was read at village Baidyanathtola, now Mujibnagar, on 17 April 1971. The present government has taken some initiatives to preserve that evidence of history through public accessibility, which is one of the modern approaches in conservation. The objective of the article is to comprehend the socio-cultural context and human needs of society. After that, analyzing the environment issues and considerations it ended up through proposing sustainable design solutions. Furthermore, it proposes to explore the possibilities to improve the quality of life for the community and extract the richness of the site condition into architecture by creating learning and sharing spaces. For doing this, the article applies mixed method (quantitative and qualitative method) to collect and analyze the required data. Spatial mapping, semi-structured questionnaire survey, participant observation, field survey, etc. methods will be used to collect data. The outcome of this research will improve and ensure the better quality of life through the historical and cultural fabric of Meherpur.

In the era of material aestheticism, the notion of form design only brushed up physical attributes, which excluding connectivity and integrity with the human. Mere its functional qualities a permeable urban form has the ability to generate social spaces within a dense shabby environment and correlate human with its functionality instead of differentiation and separation. Alternatively, traditional cities have the flexible spatial quality to subsume activities, mass gathering.

The research focuses on to illustrate subjective dimensions of urban form particularly urban blocks under an analytical framework. Along with this, it has minced the field practices that have been evident since last few decades under the local and national regulations. Often the lack of concern of professionals and enigmatic behavior of planning authorities seem to be causing spoliation of the sensitivity of built-environment. The outcome of the research can be helpful for a global-level understanding of physical form under neo-liberal market condition. Predominantly, mid-sized dense cities seem a holistic detailing of form design to enable human interaction with surrounding built-environment.

While possessing the range of solutions, the evolving environmental conditions challenged the traditional management structure and viable strategies to revitalize the built heritage through adaptive reuse. The conservation medium of built heritage has altered from adaptive reuse modules with structural adaptation from natural calamities, human interaction to preserve the hidden treasure of the past. Bara-Bazar, an ancient city situated in Jhenaidha, was developed by the 19 mosques of the Sultanate period which were the core focus point to explore community, losing their pried for lacking of proper maintenance and many other natural calamities. Adaptive reuse can be a catalyst to reinvigorate the site by highlighting the community need. The purpose of this paper is to address the historical strength of the site with its properties, following the distinctive features, opportunities, and obstacles as well as its emphasis on the practice of adaptation. In methodology, the case study approaches critically review local policies and associated climatic problems through the use of several tools to collect field evidence and synthesize it appropriately, for collecting data participatory observation, questioner interview, photography and activity mapping playing the vital role to assess the need for interpretation and the best approach for revitalizing the archeological site.

Evolve from the basic functional layout since ancient times; its role has been studied for understanding spatial and visual beautification. In all aspects of architecture and structure, the revivalism of classical periods along with the advent of new materials expanded the vocabulary of this aesthetic. The professionals have been engaged in designing form oriented geometric expression by the innovative structural system from analogical to the metaphoric idea and making the internal skeleton visible as part of visual appearances. In this study, the analysis of modern to contemporary buildings from a structural perspective opens up the critical considerations that influence visual aesthetics through embracing technological and sustainable languages. For doing this, the study emphasizes a desk-based review of research articles, books, and unique cases. Additionally, the idea based, experimental, proposed, and some regional architectural projects will illustrate to apprehend the structural significance in architectural aesthetics. The outcome of the study will signify the structural role from the visual perspective which is somewhat ignored by many regional architects
