THE OASIS BIOME: A REGENERATIVE AGROECOSYSTEM

An inquiry into regenerative agro-structure through the design of The Oasis Biome, this report explores how architecture can act as a living ecosystem to support climate-resilient food production. Drawing from standards of agroecology, managed environment agriculture, and water-saving technology, it proposes a spatial systems where cultivation, conservation, and community empowerment intersect. The project is situated in Birulia, Savar, and serves as a design-primarily based academic research under the Bachelor of Architecture program at Southeast University.

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.

Earth Side: Between the Ground and the Returning Body

Loss is not life’s interruption but its condition. This research reimagines the hospice in Montagu, Western Cape, as a threshold rather than a terminus, mediating private, communal and inherited grief. In a South Africa where apartheid’s death geographies still shape who dies with dignity, access to care remains uneven. Moving beyond clinical models, the project foregrounds emotional, spiritual and ancestral dimensions of dying, positioning architecture as an act of care, repair and passage.

Farmscape

The design is inspired from the traditional geographic farm land pattern of London so it is reflected in design. The iconic form covers majority of the land creating symbiosis between nature and architecture. The necessary functions and programs, zoning and infrastructures are submerged in the design as they will not hamper the natural essence.

Between Memory and Oblivion: Mourning courses

The present senior thesis addresses the creation of a refugee cemetery on the island of Lesvos. Placing great emphasis on notions such as memory, loss and mourning, we try to design this peculiar burial ground. Collective memory and private memory are united in a transitional space, where one is being prepared for what is to follow.

Carlos Campos
Juror

Design and architectural components are too basic. . The imposition of forms is harsh and contrasting with the site, with no dialog. Too little interest in the imprint of the place and its expressive possibilities.

The functional choices and especially those on sustainability are convincing. However the typological study does not grasp the opportunity of an architectural integration with the context and relies on conventional geometries. A typological study and a more coherent response with contour lines would probably have corroborated the objectives of the initial design.

The city garden of Eden

We should not only build a system to ensure the process of food acquisition so as to integrate into the city for a long time, but also lack an element to ensure the operation of the system. On the contrary, we should ensure the participation of urban residents, who are the key to the operation of the system.
