Figure 12: Nature’s Language- a Component of Concept Energy Efficiency and Eco-Friendly Practices: The project is committed to using as little energy as possible and designing eco-friendly indoor and outdoor areas. The use of solar energy, the encouragement of natural ventilation and lighting, and the use of recyclable, reusable, and low-maintenance materials all contribute to this goal. The topography of the land, the ground and surface water levels, the existing flora, and the aquatic ecosystems are all given high priority when it comes to eco-friendly building design. To protect the sensitive ecological situation, human influences are carefully evaluated. Site selection, site planning, architectural design, material selection, and construction processes should all conform to criteria established by institutions like the Housing and Building Research Institute (HBRI) (HBRI 2018) (Figure 13). Source: (HBRI 2018) d) Built Form Derivation Haor (Wetland) Eco-Interpretation Center design and architectural form are strongly rooted in the language of nature. The shapes, patterns, and lines of nature are all its own. To achieve a design that works in concern with its surroundings, it was essential to investigate and comprehend these natural patterns. To begin, a section of the land was chosen where distinct natural lines and patterns already existed. Schematic outlines, lines, and an overall master plan were built by carefully observing and accommodating these preexisting patterns (Figure 14). Formal lines that reflect natural geometric forms, such as rectangles and squares, describe the center's formal functions, especially the interpretation center. These forms are both structurally sound and consistent with the conventional roles of interpretation and education.

These lines are an attempt to capture the fluctuating patterns of a wetland's ecology. These lines' irregularity and fluidity reflect the bird observatory's informal and observant nature, giving visitors an immersive experience that blends with nature. The Haor Eco-Interpretation Center's architecture is a literal translation of the language and patterns found in nature. Its combination of both formal and informal forms results in a design that not only blends in with its surroundings but also connects visitors to the intricate beauty of the Haor wetlands.
