ABSTRACT
Still and Motion picture are the third eye of a society. Where our everyday life‟s, very
known scenario changed instantly. It gives us new message, thoughts, hopes and
become the voice of the nation.
Not only, a media of art, it is also becoming two leading profession of Bangladesh,
with the boom of printing and visual media. But, there are not sufficient or up to the
mark quality institution to trained them. That‟s why; we are seeing many non-
government institutions like, “pathshala” “chobial” “rangmistri”. But the required
education becomes so expensive, that most of the students cannot effort it.
And, here comes the role of the government universities, where everyone can get
equal education at all most free of cost. If there is a department in the university,
especially in Comilla University, the future growing city of Bangladesh, then it would
boost up these two professions and would produce some brilliant artist for sure.
This institute will held 4th year graduation course for the students and
the courses too. Landscape studio, daylight studio, classrooms, out-doors spaces
and common spaces are the main attraction for this project. This project will be the
place for the society and place for the students by maintaining their privacy
properly.

The tales of the daily life of Bangladeshi people dominant a great part of their art
form in perspective of their living style. Even form the prehistoric days, the women of
the families practiced art in “Nakshikatha”, where they express their day to day living
in a fantastic artistic manner and photography is one of the finest artistic ways to
capture and tell our everyday living, Struggle, Joy and achievements. And that is
why, from the very beginning of photography, in early 1960, it gain its popularity in
this nation.
A few years back, Mr. M.A. beg has, through individual efforts established “Beg art
Institute of photography” In Dhaka, which was the first photographic institute of
Bangladesh. Thus, the photographic society also started to form.
From the very first, with the film like, “padda nodir majhi”, “ora egaro jon”, “jibon
theke neya”, “aguner poroshmoni”, “titash ekti nodir naam”, cinematography gain
very popularity among the people of Bangladesh. Jahir Rayhan, Chashi nazrul Islam,
sotto saha etc. are very famous director of the early history of cinematography.
Then in 21 century there came videography, which was easy to learn, and because
of the advance technological help, one videographer can go beyond, and
achieve what he wants. And all because of these, new generation choose this
media. And because of very easy post production and editing, previous generation
of cinematography also shifted to videography or digital filming.
1.1.1 Client
BANGLADESH PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY (BPS)
Bangladesh photographic society (BPS) was founded in 1976 by few dedicated
senior and experienced photographers with a mission to organize practicing
professional and amateur photographer in Bangladesh. Under the dynamic
leadership of Manzoor Alam Bag, a photo maestro and most successful mentor. BPS
took off with great achievements like recognition and acceptance as the country
member of world body FIAP (The International Federation of Photographic Art) BPS
has emerged as a federation having fifteen photographic organization all over the

Because of the recent boom in print and visual media, these two sectors create a
huge amount of jobs both freelance and in institution in Bangladesh. But yet there
are neither enough institutions nor curriculums to train them properly. So I feel the
need of development in this sector a standard institute with all modern facilities
available under one roof. It will help one to gain more knowledge in the field.

LITERATURE REVIEW

PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY INSTITUTE
The first time the word "photography" was used was in 1839, the year the invention of
the photographic process was made public, by Sir John Herschel. It could be said
that photography was not “invented “but that it evolved over time.
The Chinese were the first people that we know of to write about the basic idea of
the pinhole camera or "camera obscura" (Latin words meaning "dark room").About
2,500 years ago (5th Century B.C.) they wrote about how an image was formed
upside down on a wall from a pinhole on the opposite wall.
The camera obscura was used in the painting of this picture. It was painted about 1660 by
Jan van der Meer van Delft (aka Jan Vermeer). His paintings are known for their "camera-
like" detail and quality - but were painted 150 years before the invention of the camera.

Though the photographs were hardly more than silhouettes, they clearly showed
that the feet of the horse were all off the ground at one phase of the gallop.
Moreover, to the surprise of the world, the feet were bunched together under the
belly. None of the horses photographed showed the "hobbyhorse attitude" - front
legs stretched forward and hind legs backward -so traditional in painting. The photos
were widely published in America and Europe. The Scientific American printed
eighteen drawings from Muybridge's photographs on the first page of its October 19,
1878 issue. Readers were invited to paste the pictures on strips and to view them in
the popular toy
known as the zoetrope, a precursor of motion pictures. It was an open drum
with slits in its side, mounted horizontally on a spindle so it could be twirled.
Drawings showing successive phases of action placed inside the drum and
viewed through the slits were seen one after the other, so quickly that the
images merged in the mind to produce the illusion of motion.
In 1880, using a similar technique with a device he named the zoo-gyroscope,
or zoopraxiscope, Muybridge projected his pictures on a screen at the
California School of Fine Arts, San Francisco." Motion pictures were born.

Though the Drik Gallery was opened in August 1993 with the first showing
of World Press Photo in Bangladesh, there is a story behind the scenes. We
were in the midst of a massive democratic movement in the late eighties. On the
streets, through curfews and through tear gas, we were documenting events in their
entirety. Throughout this period, the major galleries, either state owned or belonging
to foreign embassies, were not prepared to exhibit our work, since it was 'political'.
We knew we had to build our own gallery. The first ever staging of World Press
provided the perfect opportunity. We gathered our resources and built what is now,
one
15
of the finest galleries in South Asia and the largest private gallery in

Bangladesh. The gallery, split into two levels (on the first and second floor of the
building), has permanent wall space measuring 446 running feet. Its total floor area is

2,796 square feet. Then after a while, they start a full phased photography learning
institute named “Pathsala” and which later also cover videography sector.
Located at 16, Panthapath. West Dhanmondi. Dhaka. Pathshala, The South Asian
Institute of Photography is considered by many to be the one of the finest schools of
photography in the world. Students interact with a
star studded visiting faculty of some of the finest professionals in the world. Students
of
Pathshala have gone on to win the National Geographic All Roads Awards, Joop
Swart Masterclass and the Young Reporters award at Perpignan. It is the
educational wing of Drik Picture Library Ltd. Bangladeshi photographer, writer and
activist Shahidul Alam is the founder principal of Pathshala. The name Pathshala
comes from the ancient education system that prevailed in South Asia. It brings to
mind classes held underneath a large tree; conjuring up learning spaces without
walls, in the cool shade of its leaves. The South Asian Institute of Photography not
only allows students to explore the world of image making but provides them
opportunities to question beyond the confines of the discipline. The conceptual
absence of classroom walls enables 1st year students and 3rd year students to
attend the same classes and work together on collaborative projects together with
visiting faculty. This enhances and complements each student's learning experience.
The institute started in 1998 in conjunction with a three-year World Press Photo
educational initiative. It was launched to coincide with the Dhaka's annual WPP
exhibition. This exhibition was also replicated in other countries like Peru, Bosnia and
Zimbabwe. This initiative of WPP and Drik Picture Library Ltd, was supported by The
British Council, The Thomson Foundation and Panos South Asia. Since then, Pathshala
has slowly grown to become a fully-fledged educational wing of Drik, a socially
conscious photo resource center also based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The first group of
six students is now among prominent photographers whose photographs have been
published in some of the leading publications worldwide. In January 2010 Pathshala
decided to be extended to other sectors of the media, namely broadcast, print and
multimedia journalism. At the same time Pathshala decided to change its name to
South Asian Media Academy to reflect the development. The launching of the new

2.3.3 Videography
From the very first, with the film like, “padda nodir majhi”, “ora egaro jon”,
“jibon theke neya”, “aguner poroshmoni”, “titash ekti nodir naam”,
cinematography gain very popularity among the people of Bangladesh. Jahir
Rayhan, chashi nazrul Islam, sotto saha, are very famous director of the early history
of cinematography. But later it declined its popularity due to lack of talented
directors, story line, low qualities films and lack of modern of technologies. And the
main reasons were it is gradually become expansive, it required a certain amount of
time to learn to handle this technology, and there are not many institution to teach
this media, in Bangladesh. Then there came videography, which was easy to learn,
just with a video film coder anyone start can this career. And also post production
and editing are very easy. And so, especially new generation moved towards,
videography or digital film technology, and in almost by self-learning this alternative
media grow, and it spread out informally by one people to another.

4.1 METHODOLOGY
The term methodology generally refers the way a system will go on. In broader
sense method means a series of process to doing any kind of work. And
methodology refers the system of doing the work. So, it is a philosophical system
or procedure to collecting and analyzing data. In all kinds of research this
process or system is very much important. As methodology is the systematic
procedure or technique in which various stages or steps of collecting data or
information are explained and the analytical techniques are defined. So it is
very important consideration in this type of project.
Case study means the relevant type of study that a researcher intended to conduct,
influences a researcher to implement any ideas or techniques that have been
applied anywhere else. This helps a researcher to improve someone's ideas.
Sometimes researcher innovate anything to their own context while other
implemented that idea in different region is different, then it will be automatically
changed. Some relevant case studies have been studied to strengthen this
revitalization study.
However, during the data collection it has been considered to ensure maximum
authenticity of data. Depending on permissibility and availability of sources, all the
collected data have been verified and cross-cheeked in the field. It has been
neglected if detected errors are found minor. During the field survey work, the
community leaders have been purposively interviewed for recording their views and
opinions.

2. Ceilings should be a maximum of 9' ft. high.
3. Light from windows should, if possible, come over a pupil's left shoulder. No
teacher should be required to face the windows when addressing the class from the
normal teaching position.
4. Ceilings and/or walls should be acoustically treated.
5. Floors should have a cushioning material.

The classroom should have as quiet a location as possible, away from noisy outdoor
Areas. Ease of access to specialized facilities outside the academic unit should be
ensured.
Color films, television, and slides are becoming more and more widely used.
Darkening curtains or light-tight blinds should be provided for light control in all
teaching areas. The architect should give careful consideration to the problem of

There are a few "ideal" ratios of room height, width, and length that professional
studio designers agree should be used if possible. Three of these ratios, developed
by L.W. Sepmeyer, are shown in Table,
Table: The ideal room has a ratio of height, width, and length similar to one of these.
There are other good ratios, but those shown above are the ones I see referenced
most often. Note that when a room has a suspended tile ceiling the real height, as
far as low frequencies are concerned, is to the solid surface above the tiles. Likewise,
in a basement with exposed joists the true height is to the bottom of the floor above,
not the bottom of the joists. Small rooms > Height=1, length=1.6, width=1.25. In other
words, to build a small music studio, the ceiling should be 10 feet, the width 12 ½ feet
and the length 16 feet. Using these dimensions, with non-parallel walls, floor and
ceiling, and with a good amount of full range acoustical treatment, you will have a
fine small studio. When choosing dimensions for a studio or evaluating an existing
design, it is imperative to have major dimensions that are not related to each other.
Even with non-parallel surfaces this is extremely important. Related dimensions
produce resonances or peaks in a room's response. Related dimensions are
devisable by each other, or a root number. In other words, a room with a ten foot
ceiling height that is 20 feet wide and 30 feet long will, predictably have standing
49
waves, flutter echo's and will not be suitable for a recording studio. Related
dimensions produce a hang-over effect at critical

Historical background
“This building is dedicated to the children of India” .
-30% of the country‟s population is illiterate. This problem is addressed by such
governmental Institutions as the C.I.E.T.
- (12-15) % of the population of India is Muslim, a larger number than in neighboring
Bangladesh & Pakistan.
-Muslim girls confined to home & not attending school, audio & video cassettes can
serve as teaching aids at home and the institute send teachers as well.
-The institute provides facilities for training teachers and its objectives are:
development of software, personnel training, conducting research & evaluation,
and disseminating information.
-C.I.E.T. is funded through the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) by
62
UNDP/UNESCO/ UNICEF.

-C.I.E.T. programs are telecast daily for children between the age groups of 5-8 & 9-
11 years.
PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY INSTITUTE
-They are telecast in morning for 3 hours, 6 days a week during 300 school days a
year, including the summer vacation and are presented in 5 local languages on a
time sharing basis (45 minutes per language).
-Saturday programs are for teachers.
-C.I.E.T. has trained nearly 600 specialists working in the network of institutions for
educational technology. With 5000 books in its library, C.I.E.T. produced 1000 audio
& 8000 video programs and its activity is unique & has tremendous social impact.
Cities of Rajasthan and Some from North India have an Impact on Raj Rewal as he
seems to have devised his Ideologies from them. And it is exemplified by his various
projects.
The Urban spaces like plazas, market places, streets, clusters, etc. have been
thought with respect to Rajasthan in terms of solids and voids in Jaiselmer in Indian
context and merged with his projects
- Roof terraces are an essential component of the lifestyle of north Indian cities.
- They provide welcome outdoor space during the summer nights in the dry, hot
climate when the interior rooms receive the heat absorbed.
- Also provide an extension to living areas at upper levels during the sunny “winter‟
days when interior rooms can be cold.
- Private roof terraces and courtyards are an integral design component in Indian
architecture.
-The streets are broken up into small units, so there are pauses , points of rest and
changing vistas.
-And the open squares offer the sense of neighborhood
-Raj Rewal decided to preserve this tree as a starting point for whole idea and
composition of the building.
-The “saved” traditional tree provides shade for pupils & soften the courtyard.
- Also focused on the texture of the tree in the time of seasonal changes, which may
gives new life & different flavor to the courtyards.
Creating courtyard‟s
Evolution of courtyard
As stated by Raj Rewal, the Concept for this Exhibition Complex has been
Derived from Humayun‟s Tomb, an Attempt to Interpret as to how the
Statement might have been translated into the Master Plan. Differentiating
Singular major space from the cluster such that their access points that are
linked through pathways may envelope a common space for community.

6.3.2 Location
Jawahar kala Kendra is an arts and crafts center located in the city of Jaipur.
The center is important not because of the nomenclature but its close association
with the city of Jaipur itself.
The center was built in the year 1986 and the construction completed in 1991.
The center was launched by the state government to provide space to the cultural
and spiritual values of India and display the rich craft heritage.
The center is dedicated to the late prime minister of India jawaharlal Nehru.
The center has been made in the nine blocks housing museums, theatres, library,
art display room, cafeteria, administration and studio
Each unit is different from the other with the use of different materials and the
presence, each of the planets is expressed by its traditional symbol inlaid in white
marble

Page
PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY INSTITUTE
6.3.4 Concept
The center is an analogue of the original city pian of Jaipur drawn up by the
maharaja, a scholar, mathematician and astronomer, jai Singh the second, in the
mid-17th century.
His city plan, guided by the shipla shastras, was based on the ancient Vedic
madala of nine squares or houses which represent the nine planets (including two
imaginary ones ketu and rahu).
Due to the presence of a hill one of the squares was transposed to the east and
two of the squares were amalgamated to house the palace.
The plan of Jaipur city is based on nine square yantra in which one square is
displaced and two central squares are combined
Correa's plan for the Kendra invokes directly the original navagraha or nine house
mandala.
One of the squares is pivoted to recall the original city plan and also to create the
entrance.
The plan of Jaipur city based on the nine square yantra in which one square is
displaced and two central squares combined. The squares is defined by 8m high
wall, symbolic of the fortification wall along the Jaipur old city

The stated above chapters include the process & journey of completion of the
design of a photography and videography department. A photography and
videography institution can have a huge impact on Bangladesh & the rest of the
world regarding still and motion picture. The whole effort to complete the project &
the learning acquired through the journey, is dedicated to the photographers,
videographers, who remain on the other side of the camera, entertained us or
motivated us gives us hopes and the fuel to dream for a better future.
