CUBE(ish)

People are in a rush between their home and workplaces. They sometimes miss the opportunity to pause, look around and feel good. At this point in-between spaces (between home and workplace) in cities draw attention. Our concept is an in-between space which creates an escape point from daily rush.

Beyond the Portfolio: Building a Digital Brand for Architecture Studios

Why leading architecture studios now design two experiences, one online and one in the physical world, and how to communicate expertise long before the first client meeting.

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.

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.

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 Digital Antrho

Dan Wheeler
Juror

Super clear ambition, and well presented. This accepts the notion that what man touches is no longer "nature", while offering it in different packaging, and a place of constant change. A new version of a "Watts Tower", accumulating pieces and parts over time, a construction site of parts akin to Archigram....The ground plan is a helpful, though I would question the need for such idiosyncratic form. I would encourage more directly how all the senses are activated. Thought provoking.

Collective-pod

The project aims for spaces and groups that are in disconnection from each other to interact on the intersections of alpha-beta-gamma world cities.The intersections that have the traced traces generate a holistic urban network by creating three equivalent situations within the city. The mentioned traces do not always occur with physical dimensions; sometimes
