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.

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.

Very effective community-based design for the ethnic groups

A Region-Specific Spatial Framework for Sustainable Water Management and Community Education in Southwest Bangladesh.

Bangladesh faces a growing water crisis due to pollution, overextraction, and inadequate management. This study proposes the country's first integrated, hydrological region-specific Water Research and Awareness Center, linking research, policy, and public education. Focused on the vulnerable Khulna region, it offers a scalable spatial model for sustainable water management and community resilience.

Return To Earth

In the past, cemeteries have served as special places for the community. They functioned as emotional places for people to contemplate and reflect. To reintroduce cemeteries in urban areas, cutting edge technology must be incorporated to accommodate for the growing urban population and, while using ecologically beneficial solutions

Exploring and Enhancing BIM with the help of Web3

This research explores how Web3 technologies, particularly blockchain, smart contracts and IPFS, can enhance Building Information Modelling workflows in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction sector. It addresses BIM challenges around data security, storage, interoperability, transparency and trust, and proposes a decentralised framework for improving information traceability, collaborative accountability and digital construction data management.

Learning Through Light: Optimizing Daylight Performance Through Window Design

Learning Through Light investigates how window design influences daylight quality and visual comfort in classrooms. Through parametric simulations, the research identifies optimized window typologies and translates the findings into the design of a climate-responsive secondary school in Tehran.

Khalil Taleeslami
Juror

A strong evidence-based approach that effectively connects parametric daylight research with architectural decisions. The research methodology is rigorous, while the architectural concept could be developed further toward a more distinctive and critical position.

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.

Khalil Taleeslami
Juror

A strong and well-resolved thesis that combines contextual research with an innovative approach to adaptive reuse. The integration of typology, shared living, infrastructure, and self-building creates a convincing architectural proposition.

Inscriptions of time - نقوش الوم

The project is a geological museum in Wadi Degla titled “Journey to the Center of the Earth”, designed to reflect Earth’s layers through cave-like spaces, natural materials, and rock-inspired architecture. It uses skylights for natural lighting, passive ventilation, and orientation based on environmental analysis. Visitors experience different Egyptian rock
