Crisis to Conservation: A Water Research & Awareness Centre for Sustainable Water Management in Bangladesh
How can a water-rich nation face thirst? This project transforms architecture into a living interface between people, water, and ecology. Integrating research, education, and visible water infrastructure, it turns hidden hydrological processes into immersive spatial experiences that cultivate awareness, resilience, and sustainable futures.

Empowering Coastal Communities: Climate Research and Training Center, Satkhira
A strong and socially relevant climate-resilience proposal that effectively connects architecture, ecology, research, and community livelihoods. Its main opportunity for improvement is stronger evidence linking research findings to specific architectural decisions and performance.
Thank you very much, Sir, for your valuable feedback. I appreciate your insights and will improve my project accordingly.
From Fragility to Resilience: An Integrated Approach to Coastal Settlement on Kutubdia Island
This thesis focuses on Kutubdia Island, where climate change is already causing severe land loss, displacement, and livelihood insecurity. Recognizing that relocation is not feasible for many residents, the study explores how architecture can support resilient, adaptive, and sustainable communities while preserving local livelihoods and social ties.

UnIADA '26
The Global Benchmark for Architecture Dissertation Awards
The Prometheus Mission
The project not only serves as the first human settlement, but also a monumental project about the present, the future, and the past of human settlement. It embodies timelessness and celebrates the use of speculative technology. It serves as a constant reminder of the essential purpose of technology and our interconnectedness with the universe.
Deep concept. Philosophical, visionary, and speculative. Love it!!
This visionary project transcends conventional architectural paradigms, intertwining the epochs of human existence within its structural narrative. By enshrining collective memory, it fosters a dialogue between past legacies and future aspirations. Philosophically, it challenges our perceptions of temporality, emphasizing technology not as an end but as a means to connect more profoundly with the cosmos. The endeavor resonates with the essence of Heidegger’s 'Building Dwelling Thinking', suggesting architecture as a space where humanity and universe meet. In this monument, we are invited to reflect on our place in time and space, celebrating both our technological advancements and our timeless human spirit.
Wow, thanks for your comment, it is very profound. I had never thought of Heidegger's quote when working on this project, but his "Die Frage nach der Technik" has influenced me a lot, leading me to reflect on technology in this project as a cosmology rather than a being itself. Thanks again for this comment

TLAPALTEOTL : The Lake That Refused to Die
Lake Texcoco once cradled Tenochtitlan, the heart of Mexica civilisation. Today barely 5 percent of that water remains, drained not by natural decline but by centuries of colonial drainage that read the lake as a threat rather than sacred ground. What followed was subsidence, salinity, and a city that learned to forget the water beneath it. Sited at the out
A strong and original proposal that connects cultural memory with ecological regeneration through a clear architectural strategy.
