Chittagong Port Bay Terminal -Museum

Project Overview

The Museum at Chittagong Bay Terminal presents a sculptural architectural expression that merges landscape and built form into a single fluid gesture. The sweeping, undulating green roof blurs the boundary between ground and structure, evoking the movement of sea waves and symbolically connecting the building to the maritime identity of the port. The continuous curved profile creates a dynamic silhouette, while the expansive glazed facade beneath allows controlled transparency, inviting natural light deep into the exhibition spaces. Vertical fins along the inclined plane introduce rhythm and shading, reinforcing environmental responsiveness in the coastal climate. The integration of water features along the edge enhances microclimatic cooling and adds a reflective quality that amplifies the building’s sculptural presence. Overall, the museum embodies a contemporary landmark character—expressive yet contextual—where form, landscape, and symbolism converge to celebrate the heritage and future of the bay terminal.
