Kahns Innovations

Kahn's complex may be credited with more than one


innovations :

The scale of the building


The use of as caste concrete
The use of exposed brick masonry
Frankie pile foundation

were not attempted in Bangladesh before


The use of as Caste Concrete

the concrete surface


bear the imprint of the
structure

no paint and plaster


was used to maintain
the purity of the surface
The use of exposed brick masonry

disappoint Kahn the quality of the


brick(uneven in color , developed
cracks , manufacturing defects)

but introduction of dry press


moulding and furnace oil firing
improve the brick quality
considerably

not familiar with exposed brick


masonry

but the local hard-working and


willing learner s grasp it quickly

as a result the flattering and the


pointing were more exacting standard
demanding from them
Frankie pile foundation

Foundation:

Frankie Pile foundation


was used

Constructed by Swiss
Boring Company
Frankie pile foundation
Conclusion

The most interesting things is, there is not a single column in the
entire building. Hollow columns that are parts of space
enclosures have been adapted as structural supports.

One of the important considerations in designing the building


was protection from the sun and rain. The structure provides a
visual impression or a majestic edifice. It avoided the
conventional method of placing windows in the exterior and the
disadvantages of monumental composition were removed by the
provision of core walls with small gaps in between.
Architecturally, the complex marks a distinct departure from the
rest of the modern buildings in Dhaka.
