Paper Abstract
When searching for "City of Mosques", the term Dhaka comes up. Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh and situated in the Bengal delta. Dhaka has gained this reputation because of the several thousand mosques that dot its skyline. Most of the mosque is built without considering the context and the standards. The attempt of this paper is to give design guidelines of mosques for the environmental and urban contexts of the Bengal delta. The design Guidelines include controls and suggestions in relation to open space, height, circulation, landscape, prayer area and urban tissue in respect to the context of delta. Scale and relation with the neighborhood will also be addressed.
