Thesis

Abstract

The development of any country depends upon the trading and business activities; Imports and exports play an important role in stabilizing the economy of a country.

Myanmar is rich in natural resources, agricultural and minerals. But we have lack of opportunities to trade. Now we have a right time to grow our economy and trade because Business Tower (Yangon) provides the need for business men in worldwide with standard rate.

During my research and case studies I came to know that one of the site locations at the junction of Urban-Ring road is working on a project of apartment condominium named “Inno City”. On my visit over there impress me with it’s lot’s of advantage to build “Business Tower” and that make me determined to pick a title “Business Tower” for final year thesis. For designing a building I chose to work on a concept of “Owl’s Wings” dedicated to be successful with Business luck for Myanmar because owl represents an animal of “Luck” in Myanmar traditional.

This study concludes to propose a 34 stories of Office Tower and 24 stories of Hotel Tower as well as 5 stories luxury Retail Mall to get benefits from International Business Investment. If we use the opportunity of the lands that are valuable wisely, like how an owl attacks its prey, Myanmar will soon to become the developed country in a few decade years.
