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.

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.

Hodi-Mandai Geram: A Culturally Sensitive Village for a Disappearing Ethnic Group

What if architecture reveals itself as the only vessel of memory and culture for a disappearing community? By combining Neuroscientific, Anthropological, Economic, and Psychological themes along with Participatory Community Design and Adaptive Architecture, the thesis imagines built environments that evolve with the Hodis' cultural essence.

Shahriar Pranto

This is one of those projects that makes you stop and actually think. The way you have woven the spatial logic of the village around communal rituals the fire circle, the boat routes, the tree canopy gathering space it's not just architecture, it's memory-making. The Hodi community deserves exactly this kind of care. a design that doesn't romanticize or freeze their culture in amber but gives it room to keep breathing. The image series alone tells a story that most architectural drawings never manage, really moved by this work

Fostering Coexistence: Revitalizing Coastal Communities and Ecological Restoration

This project presents a regenerative model for climate-responsive coastal development, integrating wetland filtration, mangrove restoration, circular waste management, and community-led livelihoods. By positioning architecture as a catalyst for ecological restoration, it strengthens biodiversity, enhances resilience, and reconnects people with nature.

Riham Faragallah
Juror

The project demonstrates a well-conducted site analysis and a thorough study of the surrounding context. However, the plan resolution is low, which affects its clarity and readability. Overall, it is a good project that successfully integrates architectural design with urban design.

Revival of the Last British Rotating Stage Theatre

The merging of modern architecture with the old structural elements will also give guideline towards conserving heritage without making exact the same. The art and sculptural fundaments and proportion of this project will serve the cultural emotional aspects of the people living in that area with the help of Dovey’s “Place Attachment Theory” is implemented.

Eavesdropping the Future

And yet again, Do we need another physically built monument to choke mother Earth? Contrary to the magnitude and monumentality of the catastrophe, the proposal seeks a humble insight of the problem (climate change) that remains subdued from our conscious awareness. The journey of emotions from past, present, future brings a revolution for change.

An addition of great ideas that would benefit from becoming one whole. A more synthetic approach would make the project to more than the sum of its parts, especially given the presentation skills.

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.

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.
