Open Building
Architectural approaches to flexible, adaptable buildings that respond to changing needs and community participation.
Faria Akter - Portfolio - 2026
This portfolio showcases a selection of my academic completed throughout my undergraduate degree within the Department of Architecture at Southeast University. The projects demonstrate my passion for innovative, context-sensitive and sustainable designs that explore the relationship between people, places and the built environment. Each projects represents a step in my educational journey, highlighting the improvement of my layout techniques and innovative approach to architecture.
LUKKO
LUKKO reimagines informal settlements as vibrant neighborhoods where social interaction, economic opportunity, and everyday life coexist.
Typological Re-generation of Terzo Palazzo
This project reimagines the 1973 Terzo Palazzo by Franco Albini, Franca Helg and Antonio Piva — a key building within ENI’s company town of San Donato Milanese — as a living organism capable of adapting to contemporary forms of dwelling.

very interesting concept and great project
I think coworking is the future. a future where even small creative realities can enjoy advanced facilities, which otherwise they could not afford. Together to do better.
Community eco-village for the elderly
Il progetto è buono nel complesso, la particolare semplicità dell'impianto generale suggerisce un ulteriore approfondimento/arricchimento dell'aspetto architettonico e distributivo.
Good organization of buildings and open spaces because the central path is like an "open room" in which to walk or stop. The architecture is very interesting and well represented

Portfolio_Sherin Dass
This Undergraduate Architecture Portfolio presents selected works from 2022 to 2025, developed during my B.Arch at Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai. It spans academic studio projects, open competitions, parametric explorations, and hands-on construction — reflecting my interest in designing through logic, systems, and environment. I hope you enjoy looking through it!
Rooted
Architecture does not begin with form. It begins with listening— to the ground beneath, the culture around, and the materials that the land offers. These six projects span landscape and structure, wetland and mountain, urban density and open field. What holds them together is not a style. It is a conviction— that the best architecture grows from where it stands. Rooted is a body of work built on that belief.
Form, Detail & Scale
An architectural portfolio exploring the relationship between spatial form, technical execution, and scale. Featuring a selection of institutional renovations, commercial spaces, and masterplanning projects, this collection emphasizes rigorous engineering documentation (DED), modular efficiency, and practical spatial zoning.
EVALUATING CROSS-CULTURAL COURTYARD HOUSING FOR SOCIAL WELL-BEING in Manhattan, New York
My childhood in Bangladesh inspired me to create a housing community. People avoided community spaces and lived alone in my neighborhood. Housing impacts urban life's material and immaterial components, hence it is crucial to the quality of life. My project site is East Harlem River Houses in Manhattan, New York from the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). The project’s main intention was to design an urban platform inside the existing housing masterplan to involve the public in many activities with the community facilities and make life inside the housing. The community facilities provide for a connection between the projected urban platform and the Wards Island Bridge on the Harlem River. Additionally, integrating the courtyard areas and urban platforms with the community facilities will help modernist blocks be retrofitted with extended balcony areas to make them more livable for future generations. A case for sustainability is made here in order to maintain some of the complex's current buildings with the least amount of interruption to daily life. The concept of retrofitting can serve as a model and be applied to other NYCHA locations. Another innovation was to incorporate multilevel courtyard spaces into the design of new dwelling blocks on the east side of the property to encourage occupants to use those outdoor areas. A hierarchy of different size levels is created by the expansive courtyard. The urban spaces create place-making in different ways such as- basketball courts, evolution plazas, cultural event spaces, sculpture gardens, libraries, and art galleries. The new housing block includes different sizes of dwelling units, which resemble the previous housing units. In order to encourage people to venture outside of their homes and interact in public places, the housing concept was created with an urban grid, open spaces, roadways, and connectivity with the internal common spaces.
THE LEARNING CUBES
The learning cubes project offers an in between recreative space around the perimeter of the building. It accommodates a system of modular panels-reconfigurable material systems
