Architectural History
FLDExploration of how architecture embodies, preserves, and reinterprets historical knowledge and cultural memory.
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.
Architecture Of Time: Adaptive Architecture for a City in Constant Transformation
Adaptive architecture merges time, technology and memory in a modular system designed to evolve with changing cities and future human needs.
The illusion of permanence: the design for disassembly framework
Traditional architecture’s focus on permanence overlooks the environmental constraints of climate urgency. Design for Disassembly (DfD) challenges this by planning buildings to be dismantled, reused, or relocated. This thesis investigates the ecological and socio-economic potentials of DfD, exploring how modularity and reversible connections shape future-oriented construction. Shifting focus from building to responsibly unbuilding redefines permanence for a sustainable lifecycle.
very interesting

REVITALIZING KOLAKOPA’S HERITAGE
This colonial era heritage site had remained forgotten for decades; no one had ever documented it, designed for it, or tried to preserve it. My thesis is the first to take action, aiming to protect these structures through adaptive reuse and cultural tourism. Visitors will experience history through role play, AR/VR, exhibitions, and museum spaces.
Excellent

Heartfelt congratulations on this truly inspiring project! ‘Revitalizing Kolakopa’s Heritage’ beautifully bridges the past and the present — breathing new life into history with vision, sensitivity, and soul
Architecture as a practice of re-grounding and restoring the sensitivity of place
This dissertation counters how globalization and ocularcentrism erode spatial identity, proposing architecture as a memory-bearing palimpsest. The framework is applied to Krakow's Krowodrza district (Poland), where a historic river landscape, once shaping a green gardening area, is now a dense city centre. By revealing 'traces of (in)presence', the work revitalizes this eclipsed heritage, advocating an "architecture of re-grounding."
Mud, Memory and the Man-made: Reviving Sindh's Vernacular Architecture Through Contemporary Technologies
The future of Sindh's vernacular architecture lies not in choosing between tradition and modernity, but in combining the strengths of both. This research bridges indigenous knowledge, material innovation, and computational design to develop a resilient neo-vernacular construction framework.
Good job amna
Impressed by the level of detail and research you’ve put into this project 👏🏼 Kudos to you!
Great job Amana Keep it up
the architectural memoir of memory
Memory is not static; it evolves, fades, transforms, and survives through people, rituals, and places. Within the Parsi community, the Tower of Silence at Doongerwadi has long existed as a sacred landscape carrying generations of funerary traditions, collective remembrance, and cultural identity. However, changing urban conditions, declining engagement with ritual spaces, and the gradual disconnect between community and sacred landscapes have led to the fading of these memories and spatial pract
Beyond Rediscovery: Alijan Jute Mill’s Future
This thesis reimagines a colonial jute mill as a river-resilient, worker-centered heritage district. Using New Contextualism, it integrates production, housing, and commerce into an active urban system, transforming industrial ruins into civic spaces that reconnect the Meghna riverfront through sustainable regeneration.
An Architectural Project for the City:Achieving Absolute Architecture via Autonomy
This thesis reclaims architecture as an autonomous force which deconstructs dominant political narratives and address the unequivocal social & cultural power that architecture posseses to produce exemplary forms of architecture, which thereby become absolute . It is to establish that making the form is thus the real program of architecture.
Amazing presentation and excellent research!
Amazing job
Outstanding craftsmanship and precision.
PORTFOLIO
This portfolio is a curated collection of selected academic works completed throughout my architectural education. It showcases the progression of my design thinking, technical skills, and creative exploration across a range of projects, including residential, institutional, urban, and research-based studies.
ARCHITECTURE FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE EXCAVATIONS
This thesis focuses on building an architecture that intervenes during archaeological excavations to mitigate the issue of lengthy excavation times that are not beneficial to the public. In addition, the architecture will act to protect the ancient ruins up to No.21 that are affected by the environment that occurs within the area.
The sensitive city
Grounded in architectural phenomenology, this article investigates the sensory foundations of urban experience, showing how the body, place, and memory shape the identity of the city beyond contemporary planning paradigms.
Architectural Portfolio
This portfolio is a curated reflection of my academic journey, professional growth, and design philosophy as an architect. It showcases a diverse range of projects—each selected to highlight conceptual clarity, technical skill, and visual storytelling. From early explorations to refined architectural proposals, the portfolio demonstrates a consistent pursuit of innovation, contextual relevance, and human-centered design. The layout, graphics, and narrative have been thoughtfully composed to not only present the work clearly but to reflect my identity as a designer. This submission is both a creative document and a strategic presentation of my architectural mindset.
amazing work...
A 21st-Century School
The concept and the design outcome is very interesting, The contemporary or even modern design is well balanced with the use of traditional material and infusing it with the traditional stupa works well with the concept of integrating the past , present and future. your presentation skills are good. i feel that if you would have followed the height restrictions then you would have come out with an interesting design.

Wow! It looks gorgeous
More impressive than anything I've seen before..
Very enjoyable design. I wish you success!
The illusion of minimalism
This article addresses contemporary minimalism in architecture. It describes a shift from spatial intensification toward material and spatial neutralisation. It contrasts Miesian reduction with market-driven standardisation. It situates the argument through Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Zumthor and Koolhaas.
PUBLIC CENTER FOR EXPRESSION
My project doesn't try to answer perfectly to the problem of depression. But it tries to help people to think about it in a sensitive way. It plays with our perception, our efforts and ours interpretation of things. The project tries to give a different approach, having a lot o
There is a very powerful idea lurking about in the scheme which can result in something quite extraordinary if there is a chance for it to fully develop.
The main virtue of this project is to have a very strong and resounding geometry.
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.
