dc.description.abstract |
A silent industrial revolution has been taking place on the banks of river
Buriganga, Zinzira, Dhaka. In comparison with other giant industries, Zinzira
have been playing a significant role off the record in recent years. The
scenario has generated from quite an unorthodox context and term “made
in Zinzira” .During 70’s- 80s’s a special group of skilled workers started to
emerge in Zinzira who were mostly hardware mechanics. By only using scrap
metal and local knowledge they can reverse engineer expensive machines
locally in much less costlier fashion. The term “made in Zinzira” originated
from this skill of “reverse engineering” which is somewhat seen in negative
lights as counterfeiting and cheap products. As a result, lack of
infrastructure, proper workstation, working environment from the scale of
the community hinders the potential of this sector. The research & design
scheme tries to explore the relationship between the work environment and
existing infrastructure within the urban fabric of Zinzira. The aim is to
determine a sustainable solution of modules that could be the holistic
interface that this specific micro metal industry deserves, as the capital and
investments are crucial for the owners and workers of this type of small
scale industries. The research will conclude via the comprehensive
investigation on how to explore and improve work-space relationships of
micro metal industries theorizing schematic work-space modules in order to
establish Zinzira as an asset to be recognized in reverse engineering sector
rather than leaving it over shadowed by wrongly describing it a counterfeit
production industry. |
