02. Project Background

Project Name :

Asian university of Bangladesh.

Project location:

Bangabandu road, Ashulia, savar.

Site Area:

14 acres

Contact person:

Director of Planning: Harun-ur Rashid

Client and Funding body

Asian university of Bangladesh Address: road no 9, sector -7 Uttara model town Dhaka-1230

2.1.1 Importance of the Project in Local/ Regional/ National Context Asian University of Bangladesh (AUB) is the largest university in Bangladesh in privet sector with respect to student population. The President of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh is the Chancellor of AUB. It is a privet university in its legal entity, especially financially. Otherwise its academic programs are approved, supervised and constantly monitored by the Ministry of Education and University Grants Commission of Bangladesh. Currently AUB has five campuses in the country, two location At uttara and rest at dhanmondi, rajshahi and Khulna. At the moment, it has four faculties under which eight departments are running on as it does not have a campus complex and opening in several campuses, the university authority has the goal to build a fully fledged campus complex.

2.1.2 Relevance of the Project as Undergraduate Thesis "Knowledge with action" is the basis of human welfare, provided it upgrades human quantities and faculties as well as professional skills. Such knowledge is a right as well as an obligation of every human being, which should be provided by a system of universal education. Besides, a nation's identity should be reflected in its education system. Based on this philosophy, AUB's mission is to disseminate knowledge in a human approach reflecting identity of our nation with its heritage, values and principles. The numbers of seats in public universities are less that requirement, so the private university action a major role to fulfill the demand, proposed campus for AUB will play a major role in higher education in Bangladesh.

Literature Review

3.1

Evolution of University “There are children and I have met some of them, who want to know what a black hole looks like, what is the smallest piece of matter, why we remember the past and not the future, how it is there was chaos early, that there is apparently, order today, and why there is a universe” -

said by Carl Sagan,

Describes the human nature to search for knowledge, that most fundamental urge to comprehend mesure and in some way control his environment. And this quest for knowledge was the drive behind the establishment of the formal education as university. The evolution of education can be traced to the very beginnings of Mankind from the prehistoric cave paintings found in Altamira and Lacaux around 35000 years ago. But the deliberate examination of knowledge begins with great philosopher Plato some 2400 years ago. Plato founded ‘The academy’ as the first university in 387 BC. ‘The academy’ was simply the name of his house. From his writing we can find the first systematic analysis and methodology where human questioning and understanding of the world and its various subjects could be structured. Plato’s student Aristotle studied at the academy for 20 years and he established a structure of distinct disciplines within which investigation can be focused.

Aristotle went on to develop further

categories and subsets of these disciplines and in so doing, provided the intellectual organizing structure of the faculties, departments and areas of study familiar in our today’s university.

During the medieval period university development was closely linked to the growth of craft guilds. Towards the end of the 13th century the growth of towns and cities conflated the activities of the guilds with those of theological schoolings. The Medieval Latin word universities meant a corporation. Aristotle sought to develop the various branches of knowledge and his thought later gave us the seven liberal arts. They were divided into two groups, first, trivium- grammar, logic, rhetoric and secondly, quadrivium- arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, music and later addition medicine and architecture. It was generally accepted that the trivium was the elementary level of study and qudrivium was the higher division of the liberal arts equal to master status. In the United Kingdom only Oxford and Cambridge date from the 13th century. From the 15th to 19th centuries students scholars had to travel either to Scotland or Ireland and Trinity College, Dublin to have university education. Some early 20th century universities and some new universities of United Kingdom and there predecessors are referred to as ‘redbrick’ a group of these universities. The purpose of these universities was to provide more equal access to higher education to all kind of people. In the history of university from the middle ages they can be divided into four generations according to their individual architectural style. The first generations are the universities of Paris, Bologna, Oxford and Cambridge, all integral to their host cities. The second generations are the universities of redbrick, generation of universities marked an opening up of education through regional based institution. The third generation of universities was faced with the problem of growth and expansion that’s why they are based on out of town campus. And the forth generation is today’s university. Many institutions under take the higher educational roles to the same standards as the established universities. At the start of 21st century, knowledge and learning became the fundamental element of postmodern consumption.

3.1.1

University in Bangladesh

It is indeed difficult to determine the system and nature of education in ancient Bengal. We have ample evidence of the flourishing condition of the nourishment of various branches of knowledge in ancient Bengal, but hardly do we get any information about the education system in the available sources. Buddhist Sangharamas, viharas and the Brahmanic religious centers served as residential centers for education in that ancient period.

In Medieval period Muslim sultans of Bengal encouraged the spread of education, scholastic or elementary, to fulfill their religious obligations. The rulers, the sufis, ulamas, the nobles, chieftains and philanthropists all contributed in this regard. Through the patronization of the Muslim rulers mosques and madrasas were established in different places of Bengal and these institutions served as centers of Muslim education and culture till the colonial period. In colonial period the traditional system of education was replaced by the colonial system. University education ...
