relationship between scientific research and public education. • Archive: The archive houses a collection of valuable documents, research findings, and historical records related to the Haor eco-system. It serves as a resource for researchers, students, and the public. • Multipurpose Area: This adaptable area hosts events and activities for a wide range of audiences and may be used for a wide variety of purposes, including but not limited to increasing community participation and events that are in line with the center's objective. • Small Cafe: A small café provides refreshments for visitors, offering a place to relax and reflect on their experiences while enjoying the natural surroundings. • Admin Area: The administrative area supports the daily operations of the center, including staff offices and logistical functions. By including ecological and architectural factors, the designers of this program want to provide a method to understanding the Haor ecosystem that is both comprehensive and sustainable. It aims to educate, inspire, and protect this unique natural treasure for generations to come (Table 01). c) Concept Derivation The concept for the Haor (Wetland) Eco- Interpretation Center is based on three primary components. Humanity, rather than being a hindrance to the natural world, is at the heart of the project's overall philosophy. In addition, the idea is formed from a thorough examination of natural patterns with an emphasis on incorporating sustainable characteristics. "A Refreshing Pause": The primary concept behind the initiative is to give people a chance to take a "Refreshing Pause." Visitors may take a break from their travel across the major highway via the villages and into the center, which will do them pleasant both mentally and physically. The purpose is to provide a place where peope may relax while taking in new information about nature. Eventually, this pause should transform them into blessings for nature, not obstacles, by encouraging an appreciation for the natural world and preventing activities that harm it, such as pollution (Figure 11). Figure 11: A Refreshing Pause – Conceptual Illustration of the Center Design Nature's Language: Another fundamental idea is "Nature's Language." Nature has its own language, which is defined by form, function, and character. Natural land circulation is reflected in the paddy fields and islands that dot the wetland landscape. The design process ought to incorporate the language of nature to ensure that the project blends in with the surrounding environment and does not frighten the birds or disrupt the sensitive equilibrium of the wetland ecosystem. This requires thinking about the interplay between the built environment, trees, and nature, and planting a large number of specific trees like Hijol, Korosh, and Barun to improve the habitat for birds and fish, as well as understanding and reiterating existing patterns (Figure 12). © 2023 Global Journals 1 Year 2023 37 Global Journal of Science Frontier Research Volume XXIII Issue ersion I VV ( H ) Interpreting the Haor Eco-System through Sustainable Design: Haor (Wetland) Eco-Interpretation Center, Moulvibazar, Sylhet, Bangladesh
