Project Description

The rooftop of the 4th floor of the Academic Building-1 at Pabna University of Science and Technology (PUST) has been used mostly by architecture students as breakout space since the beginning. Currently, the space is filled with furniture that has been abandoned for several years from many departments. Suicide and self-harm practices have drastically increased among university students in Bangladesh over the past years. Self-harm among university students reveals a significant prevalence of 17%. We aim to generate a prototype model to create an inclusive, accessible, interactive space on the rooftop for all students in different countries to practice mindfulness and deeply understand others' feelings to break the emotional black hole by building secure relationships among friends. No more suicide on the rooftop.
