Computational Design
SKLUsing algorithms, parametric tools, and data-driven processes to generate and optimize architectural and design solutions.
Ardavan Shelter
The Ardalan Project explores computational design through a custom parametric parapet system. Geometric rules control repetition, variation, dimensions, and component relationships, creating a flexible workflow that connects architectural intent with optimization, fabrication requirements, and final form.
The Rain
This master’s thesis reinterprets the Shenzhen Opera House brief, reimagining it as an open civic landscape shaped by the concept of “Rain,” where Shenzhen’s subtropical climate becomes a spatial system that dissolves the boundary between architecture and public space.
Ashrafuz Zaman Portfolio 2026
This portfolio presents a curated collection of selected academic and architectural design works completed during my Bachelor of Architecture at Khulna University. It demonstrates my design philosophy, research methodology, technical skills, and visualization process across a range of architectural scales.

Form Follows Data: Algorithmic Optimization in Architecture
A rigorous and original exploration of data-driven architecture, with a strong connection between computational research and design development.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! I really appreciate it.
AURA LIBRARY
Aura Library transforms environmental intelligence into social architecture. Using multi-objective parametric optimization, daylight, thermal comfort, visual comfort, and energy performance become design generators for a library where knowledge emerges through interaction, collaboration, and shared human experience.
Well done👏🏻
👌🏻👏🏻
A strong and thoughtful thesis with a well-developed computational approach. Further strengthening the link between environmental optimization and the final architectural design could make the proposal even more compelling.
Thank you for your thoughtful and constructive feedback. I greatly appreciate your insights and will certainly consider this point in further development of the project.
The Oasis Monolith: Conceptual Sculptural Villa
An organic monolithic villa exploring the fluid harmony between sculptural masses, negative spaces, and premium cinematic design.
Cultural Center in Szczecin as a reinterpretation of industrial space
This project revitalizes Szczecin’s Jaskółcza Island into a Cultural Center. Reinterpreting its 19th-century post-industrial heritage via parametric design, it creates an inclusive public space. It acts as a social catalyst, reintegrating the degraded waterfront into the city while preserving its genius loci.
A strong and well-resolved project that successfully reinterprets Szczecin’s industrial heritage as a contemporary cultural center. The contextual research, public realm, environmental strategies, flexible exhibition system, and connection to the waterfront are particularly convincing. The project establishes a clear relationship between the industrial character of the site and its new architectural identity. Further critical development of the locomotive-inspired form could make the architectural concept even more distinctive. Overall, a mature and coherent architectural proposal.
Highway as Habitat
Highway as Habitat addresses a fundamental paradox embedded in the contemporary American metropolis: highways serve as essential infrastructures of mobility, yet simultaneously fragment the urban fabric by separating movement from habitation. As cities continue to densify, this horizontal system—once a driver of expansion—has become increasingly misaligned w
Enjoyed working with you together!
Beyond Seasonality: Adaptive Urban Interfaces for Seasonal Cruise Infrastructure
Cruise terminals are designed for movement, yet remain dormant for months each year. At Mormugao Port, this project designs for time rather than a single function, transforming seasonal transport infrastructure into an adaptive waterfront where architecture, landscape, and public life evolve with the monsoon.
The project presents an innovative idea. However, the plan illustrations lack sufficient clarity. For a project of this nature, it would have been expected to provide a clear explanation of the building's structural and covering system.
Hello ma'am Thank you for your response and feedback. Kindly refer to the 3rd sheet right side material for all structural, roof and cladding related details, exploded diagrams and structural section and joinery details etc along with details of materials and their specifications attached. I hope that answers your question?
Completely Redefined the idea of cruise terminal
Great Work!
Ardalan Shelter: Computational Form Finding for an Adaptive Kinetic Structure
A multi-objective design study integrating environmental data, evolutionary algorithms, kinetic systems, and responsive architecture
The Living Refuge — A Symbiotic Sanctuary for Humans and Vanishing Pollinators
First Prize winner of the 2025 eVolo Skyscraper Competition, The Living Refuge reimagines the skyscraper as a shared ecological infrastructure for humans and endangered pollinators. Through layered habitats, environmental systems, and adaptive architectural spaces, the project explores how dense cities can support biodiversity rather than displace it.
Amazing!
Love it!
Between Fiction And Debris
This project explores how architecture can exist within fictional worlds and what that means for how we understand and design space in reality. It begins with a simple question: if a world is imagined, can its architecture still be considered real through the way it is experienced, understood, and constructed?
THE TALE OF MARINE LIFE : A SEA AQUAIUM COMPLEX
A live marine aquarium is a unique type of aquarium designed to replicate and display marine ecosystems found in the ocean. This live marine aquarium in Bangladesh's Sonadia, The Hidden Chamber of the Ocean, promotes biodiversity, education, research, conservation, and environmental advocacy through 3D displays, auditorium, library, and café.
Good job!!
Well done bro
Outstanding
What a remarkable project!!!Making rain the central design concept gives it a truly unique identity and beautifully strengthens the building`s connection ti its natural surroundings!
I find the use of the water elements in the design of the buildings and the landscape very unique and inspiring
The element of rain, by the seaside, especially continuing inside the building, is an amazing idea. Inspiration and creativity beyond the usual!
