Currently exploring the intersection of AI-integrated design thinking and urban problem-solving through intensive studio work and research practice.
The Civic Imagination: Re-evaluating Rochdale Town Hall Through a Pattern Language for Contemporary Civic Life
A Grade I-listed Victorian Gothic landmark through Christopher Alexander’s A Pattern Language. By overlaying ten spatial patterns onto the building’s plans and comparing it with Manchester and Oldham Town Halls, the study reveals how monumental civic heritage can be sensitively reactivated for inclusive, present-day community use without erasing its historic character. It argues for a shift from “preservation-as-static” to “heritage-as-catalyst,” using low-impact, reversible interventions.
STABILITAS LOCI: The Benedectines vow of Stability
Obona: Pilgrimage as a Regenerative Architecture A regeneration strategy for the abandoned monastery of Santa María la Real de Obona, reactivating the ruin through reversible timber interventions, pilgrim accommodation and local community use within a phased framework of care.
A thoughtful and deeply researched thesis that treats heritage as a living part of community and pilgrimage. Further developing the architectural details and spatial organization could make this sensitive regeneration strategy even stronger.

Conserving Modernity: A Dialogue Between Past and Future of Khulna Divisional Library
Conserving Modernity reimagines the 1964 Khulna Divisional Library as a dialogue between heritage and contemporary intervention. Guided by “Timeless Convergence,” it preserves modernist identity while introducing adaptive civic spaces that reactivate public engagement through flexible programs, cultural exchange, and climate-responsive design.
A thoughtful and well-researched heritage-led proposal that creates a meaningful dialogue between past and future. Further refinement of public access and the distinction between the existing and new architecture could make the intervention even stronger.
Thank you for the insightful feedback. I greatly value your perspective and appreciate the constructive observations, which will be helpful in further refining the proposal.
Well done! Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you very much for your kind words and encouragement. I truly appreciate your feedback and support.
Return To Earth
In the past, cemeteries have served as special places for the community. They functioned as emotional places for people to contemplate and reflect. To reintroduce cemeteries in urban areas, cutting edge technology must be incorporated to accommodate for the growing urban population and, while using ecologically beneficial solutions

Reviving Maritime Heritage of Mandvi, Kutch
This project proposes an integrated Shipbuilding Skill Development and Tourist Interpretation Centre to revitalize Mandvi’s declining, centuries-old handcrafted wooden shipbuilding tradition. By merging training, cultural interpretation, and tourism, the centre addresses challenges like technological shifts and a shrinking skilled workforce.
A strong researched thesis and a thoroughly detailed project.
A strong and well-researched thesis that turns maritime heritage into a living system of making, learning, and cultural exchange. Further refinement of the architectural expression and long-term operation could make this excellent proposal even stronger.

Rethinking Workshops Matrix: A New Urban Narrative for Micro Metal Industry.
This project, Rethinking Workshops Matrix: A New Urban Narrative for Micro Metal Industry, Zinzira, is framed within the discourse of industrial urbanism, which posits industry not as an isolated enclave but as an active component of the urban continuum. Situated along the southern edge of Dhaka, Zinzira embodies one of Bangladesh’s most concentrated cluster
Nice illustrations...
Wonderfull Thesis Project!
Nice work vai

A Case Of Bhopal Gas Tragedy - 1984
A very good concept but drawings need refinement to be clear and understandable.
Nice execution of all the thoughts and wishing you a win.
Good concept
Just read this dissertation and can’t stop thinking about it. The way pattern language becomes a vocabulary for how communities imagine together this is genuinely original work. Brilliant.
Thank you Peter, really glad that central idea came through for you. Those moments when someone mirrors back what you were reaching for mean a lot! ❤️
The argument that civic imagination isn’t abstract but embedded in architecture and that we can read it through pattern language is genuinely elegant. Good going!!☺️☺️
Great work! Keep it going
Thank you ❤️
