Abstrakt: Space beneath the flyovers in Dhaka has already been occupied with an informal economic activity, just like other traditional street usages in Dhaka. These organically formed, off-the-grid activities should be an integrated part of our planned urbanization activity. Evicting street vendors from the streets overnight is not a feasible alternative. The City Authority has continually failed in its quest over the decades. The visible conflict between the street vendors and the rest of the city authority has become classic. We need to establish a win-win arrangement for both parties. Through theory and practice, we must attempt to comprehend the issue. This paper aims to understand the informal activity placed space beneath flyover theoretically. On the contrary, Flyovers can be found throughout Dhaka, and providing architectural solutions for specific sites requires a long period. Hence, this research will explore the scope of module design as a prospective solution to accommodate the module design. Maybe a probable solution to shape the informal activity gathered in the space beneath flyover into organized arrangements. The research will follow a case study-based method and a qualitative inquiry. The research will study several flyovers in Dhaka and their informal activity. Finally, the paper aims to develop an architectural module design framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
