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.

ecOASIStem

Oasis, a word that brings so many concepts to one’s mind in climatic, social, lifestyle, historical, and financial fields, thus many of our ideas came from there. An oasis is a place in a desert that contains water, supplied by a spring or another underground water source. This word is a symbol of both fear and hope. Fear of desert, dehydration, wild nature

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.
