[“Green &Water-Scapes”]
In the south western part of Bangladesh, in the district of greater Khulna, lies the Sundarbans, "the beautiful forest." It is a virgin forest which until recently owed nothing to human endeavour and yet nature has laid it out with as much care as a planned pleasure ground.
It is a collage of different tissue patterns as visible in the plan of sundarbans area and its surrounding. It is a habitat of the world famous Royal Bengal Tiger, spotted deer, crocodiles, jungle fowl, wild boar, lizards, rhesus monkey and an innumerable variety of beautiful birds.
Fish further add to the serene natural beauty of the Sundarbans. They provide livelihood to approximately 160,000 people.
[1994, pg 11]
The mapping of the soft areas recognises the Bay of Bengal as a base of the sprawling forest as potentials that might be instrumental tool in shaping of a green and water-scapes for the design.
