Narrating Emotions through Architecture - The memory of 26/11

Khalil Taleeslami
Juror

A powerful and sensitive memorial thesis that translates collective memory into a meaningful spatial journey. Further technical refinement of the experiential strategies could make this already compelling proposal even more convincing.

Reconfiguring Housing: Density & Rentals, Gangtok

The thesis explores Daragoan in Gangtok where farmland has become dense housing built room by room with rentals in mind. Terraces corridors and stairways act as commons for play prayer gatherings and commerce. A grid of local room sizes shapes light courts shared terraces and adaptable spaces reframing density as a resource for community and continuity.

Reclaiming Forgotten Urban Edges: An Experimental Approach

This project reimagines fragmented urban edges as connected public space. Developed through experimental research at Kelham Island and applied to Manchester’s Northern Quarter, it proposes a transferable toolkit of interventions to activate inactive urban fragments into continuous inhabitable environments.

Khalil Taleeslami
Juror

This is a strong and well-structured research-driven proposal that thoughtfully reframes neglected urban edges as active social infrastructure. The connection between site analysis, physical experimentation, the spatial toolkit, and its translation from a microsite to an urban-scale application is particularly convincing. The project demonstrates a clear critical position and a good balance between social, spatial, and temporal considerations. Further empirical evidence of the long-term impact of the proposed interventions would strengthen an already compelling proposition. Overall, a thoughtful, relevant, and professionally presented project.

Dear Professor Faragallah, thank you very much for your inspiring feedback and recognition. Creating better habitations and active spaces for people within cities is a topic I am deeply passionate about. It was the central focus throughout my master's research and represents a vital future trend. Your recognition of the clarity and professionalism of my project has given me confidence as I continue exploring urban regeneration directions. I truly appreciate your kind encouragement and warm wishes!

CADENCE

Nestled within Montserrat's volcanic landscape and tropical ecosystem, Cadence is a music retreat designed as a healing landscape. Inspired by the island's rich musical legacy—once a historic crossroad for legendary artists—the project redefines status symbol, shifting the paradigm from exclusive wealth to a shared, profound respect for sound, community

Divisional Library, Sylhet, angladesh

A library to me is kind of a metanoia. It can change one's mind, heart, self or the way of life of a human being. I tried to incorporate this journey throughout my design. While designing the project, I put endeavor in the socio-cultural context of the Sylhet region in order to establish a cognitive vocabulary for the intended architectural purpose.

Echoes of the Railway: Eco-Tourism in Chile

In Rio Blanco, Chile, an eco-tourism complex grows like a living railway, weaving timber, stone, steel and glass into resilient forms. The design dances with the mountains and river, exploring structure, craft, and the poetry of place

The modern agora as a field of architectural debate: Athenaeum, Rio de Janeiro.

Athenaeum, a space for architectural debate on the past, the present and the future. It is to assemble knowledge and share it, to point out current problems and search for solutions. The users involved in the sequence of events are invited to participate in various discussions. The proximity of nature stimulates to reflection and deepening the experience.

COSTA VIVA

Organized around water, landscape, and semi-open spaces, Costa Viv offers a spatial experience that encourages slowing down, breathing, and healing. Curved and fragmented masses orient toward the sea, reducing scale, increasing permeability, and creating shared living areas with a seamless indoor–outdoor continuity.

Shaped around the landscape, open spaces, and the idea of togetherness, the project invites users into a calm holiday experience rooted in direct contact with nature. Fragmented building masses are oriented toward the sea, while the voids formed between them enable circulation and moments of encounter. Architecture and landscape intertwine to create a slow,
