Portable Landscape for Dhaka Stock Exchange Tower
Architects: MSH Atelier
Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh
Project Year: 2020
Dhaka Stock Exchange, located in Nikunja, Dhaka is one of the major stock exchanges in Bangladesh. The Dhaka Stock Exchange tower is located beside the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway. That building had a huge mass with no green on site. Nowadays, almost all corporate houses are designed in a very specific way in Bangladesh where the landscape is ignored. Dhaka Stock Exchange Tower is the next head office of the stock exchange. Sometimes, designers and stakeholders almost forget to put a small green on the premises. There are so many stockholders, companies, broker houses, etc. These premises were surveyed and found almost zero green on site. MSH Atelier is being hired by the Dhaka Stock exchange authority to redevelop the building profile and landscape of the DSE Tower.
