24. Tangail is a city with unique traditions, foods
and music. Tangail is well known for its rich
heritage of various crafts. One of its main
attractions is Handloom Saree.
Many different crafts has evolved in this very
area. These crafts not only reflect the artistic
personality of the craftsmen but also their
history and traditions. The leading crafts are :
Tangail craft and context
study
Handloom Saree:
Tangail is famous for its handloom sarees. Tangail
is the home of the weavers of world famous
“Tangail Saree” a handloom saree made of both
cotton and silk threads. Some of the Weavers
have migrated to India after partition in 1947.
Nakshibuti:
Nakshibuti is unique because of its authentic
designs. Each weavers of Nakshibuti are an
individual artist themselves. They don’t follow
any strict design. Every design is unique to its
creation. Not everyone can become a weaver of
Nakshibuti. It takes more time to weave a single
saree. Due to the low production rate, the
market fails to appreciate it’s value.
Bamboo Craft:
“Bamboo” is “green gold” of the future, with
60,000 species throughout the world, and
literally millions of uses. No other plant seems to
have as many possibilities. It is used for food,
construction material, fuel, flooring, decoration,
furniture, and more.
Silver Craft:
Silver smith villages are another attraction of
Tangail. These silver smiths come up with various
silver products, but mainly jewellery . They produce
traditional ,modern and also innovative jewellery .
The designs comes from many renowned boutiques
of Dhaka. But many silver smith follows their own
designs and patterns
Clay craft:
Clay craft has also developed its own distinct identity
in Tangail. It more or less runs like a family tradition.
Usually whole family of a craftsman gets involved in
pottery or clay crafts.

27. Tangail handloom is popular all over
the world for its uniqueness. The
workers need to have special skills to
weave and design Tangail saree. The
Basak community of Patrail union of
Tangail is community of weavers who
is still continuing the original making
process of Tangail Saree. The weavers
sell the saree in temporary bazaars
that sit only twice a week in Bazitpur
and Korotia. Traders come to these
bazaars to purchase saree.

analysis Mud is one of the main material for
weaver house because they need mud
plinth for their machine, boiling
process, weaving . In previous year mud
is the main element of their house .
Weavers are feeling comfortable for
these . Now a days 35% of house made
of mud . Mud is suitable for the
making of saree to keep its moisture
perfect.
• Dhamrai ,pathrail and madhupur
house are made of mud
• Because of jamuna river soil is
available in this area .
• Weavers choose mud because of
their plinth and availability
• Ubinig also has firm project ,so cow
dung is also available here , which
will be used as mixture with mud for
building material .

51. My site is located in a
village ,almost all users are
coming here by walking
,there is no need of such
65 car parking area .
20 car parking is enough
for this place
So , 1 car is need -128 sft
for 20 car = (20x128)
= 2560 sft
Parking Zone
Total built area =
1,23,069 sft

Mud is one of the main material
for weaver house because they
need mud plinth for their
machine, boiling process, weaving
. In previous year mud is the main
element of their house . Weavers
are feeling comfortable for these
. Now a days 35% of house made
of mud . Mud is suitable for the
making of saree to keep its
moisture perfect.
• Dhamrai ,pathrail and madhupur
house are made of mud
• Because of jamuna river soil is
available in this area .
• Weavers choose mud because
of their plinth and availability
• Ubinig also has firm project ,so
cow dung is also available here ,
which will be used as mixture
with mud for building material .

Living with tradition is our culture
Mud house is one of the traditional housing type in
This building type is typically one or two stories an
for single family housing.

Considerations in mud house
1. Mud house is cool in summer (inside
building temperature is about 24°c to 26°c
) and warm in winter
2. Automatic control temperature by passive
colling system ,which is most important for
weavers.
3. Suck external dry air and throw the
humidified cool air into interior .
4. Bamboo is use as a material of post in
building .
Design aspect
Foundation and
plinth :
1. Whenever possible, earthen wall should
be build on brick or concrete foundation
and plinth.
2. Should be build house on the raised
homestead and slightly sloping for
ground drainage .

Design aspect
Ventilations :
1. Basic principle for good ventilation should be
followed: exposed roof space , accessible loft space
2. Adequate ventilation is essential for earthen house
otherwise leads the dampness and which can
weaken the wall .
Mud
preparation
and
wall
making
• Wet earth mixed with straw and 5% cement
• For better strength mixture is improve by
adding RHA (Rice husk Ash),jute and straw ,
• Applied in a layer in a cob system
• Each layer will be at 50 to 70 cm in height .
• mud is dried for few days
• Finally the wall thickness will be 18 inch
Wall
polishing
and
finishing
• After a couple of days mud walls are
drying and then trimmed the wall in a
shape that will be expose and create a
smooth surface
• If thickness of the wall is 20” after
trimming it become 18’’.
• Plastering is essential for the
protection from rain ,rat and insects
• Mixture is made with clay + grass+ 15%
boric acid + glue
Step -1
Step -2 Step -3
Step -4 Step -5
Step -1( plaster with
clay and grass
mixture )
Step -2( clay paint

Step -3( clay liquids)
Step -4( fine sand ) Step -5( mixture of

Bamboo
Curing Or
Dipping
Design aspect
• First of all store bamboo in a tank with
water .but it is highly recommended to
add chemical in the tank to cure and
preserve bamboo for long lasting.
• When immersing the bamboo nodes
should be punching before curing , that
way water can run easily through out the
bamboo cane
• Bundle the bamboo splits and store them
in running water or tank
• Then change the water weekly to
prevent growth of becteria
• For Complete immersion
wood – 5 days
bamboo- 3 days
straw leaf- 1 days
• After these , it is needed to be dried in
shead .
Advantages:
• Low cost for materials
• Simple, easy to learn,
• requires little or no experience
• Produces beautiful buildings
• Strong and sturdy Long lasting
• High thermal mass
Disadvantages:
• Labor intensive
• Slow building process
• More subject to cracking than other earth
building techniques
• Lacks the convenience of modular bricks or
forms Poor insulation value

•COUNTRY- Bangladesh
In Rudrapur, a village in the Dinajpur
District of northern Bangladesh, stands
this mud and bamboo construction that
houses a therapy center for people with
disabilities and a workshop for Dipdii
Textiles, a clothes-making project for
local women that Anna Heringer and
Veronika Lang launched with the NGO
Dipshikha
in this project , the German architect
explored the plasticity and beauty of
mud,
Material
• Use of local material local source of energy including manual lab
• Mainly built out of mud bamboo and local farmers
57. Work process
• Firstly Made Of Mud
Mixture With Straw ,
Grass, Clay Sand
• Then create mud cob
• Create a curve ramp
and rectangular plan
• Mud cob are placed in a
layer and create a wall
of room
• Walls has larger
thickness when cob are
placed after that cut the
walls and create a
surface
• Finally polish with clay
and glue mixture
Mud cob place in layer by layer
Trimmed the wall and finishing
Bamboo post are placed for verandah and roof support
