Spatial Resilience
Design and architecture approaches that build adaptive, sustainable spaces for communities facing environmental, social, or economic challenges.
Rethinking Resilience
The project embraces flood as a natural phenomena as the premise to imagine the possibility of secure human habitation. With this as the central idea, the project defines resilience to be two fold- 1.to be prepared before flood. 2. sustenance and recuperating post flood scenario. In its execution, the project encapsulates this idea at three distinct scales.
THE FLOOD RESILIENT COMMUNITY
A design for a 100 home community that is affected by the floods, but needs to get back on their own to a better future. A design that looks into flood resilient societies, community development as a drive to healthy societies, and individual dwelling upgrading.
T.I.M.E. HEALS
Habitat when tarnished disrupts lifestyle causing emotional, mental and financial losses which creates scars forever. So, it is necessary to heal from the beginning by converting the exhausting period of struggle into a motivating environment with interactive neighbourhood. Our system unites the community by various incremental measure at different levels.
HELAXIS: A Multi-Thematic Regional Disaster Agency Complex in Region VIII
The project title is coined from the main problem addressed in the study. Accordingly, the project is titled Helaxis, an acronym for Hub for Emergency Learning Analytics x Intervention Strategy which is aligned with the Four Thematic Areas of NDRRM.
A Path Towards Resilience Through Community-Driven Activities at Gora-Digha, Kishoreganj
In the ‘Haor’(Seasonal wetlands), where the ground disappears each monsoon, permanence is an illusion. This project imagines architecture not as a defense against water but as an instrument of continuity, an adaptive civic landscape that allows communities to gather, endure and sustain dignity amid recurring cycles of flood and retreat.

Resile: Sustainable Architecture for Healing, Community and Resilience in Afghanistan
Resile uses sustainable architecture, courtyards, local clay and shared spaces to build a safer future for Afghan widows and children alike.
FLOOD RESILIENT HOUSING
The research underscores the importance of designing flood-resilient housing that allows communities to remain in place, preserving their socio-economic and cultural fabric. By leveraging locally available materials and involving the community in the design and maintenance processes, the proposed solutions not only enhance flood resilience but also promote a
Resile: Sustainable Architecture for Afghan Widows and Community Resilience
Resile uses sustainable architecture and courtyard living to create a safe dignified community where Afghan widows and children can rebuild.
Resile: A Clay Village Where Independence Does Not Mean Isolation
A settlement of 20 clay buildings for families affected by conflict, where shared courtyards and bridges keep independence from becoming isolation.
Mediating resilience and livelihood through community architecture Regional center for Oceanography
Integrated Centre for Coastal Interpretation, Research and Resilience integrates marine research, public interpretation, community development, and disaster resilience. Community spaces are designed to convert into emergency response and relief facilities during disasters, ensuring adaptability and long-term coastal resilience.

Transforming the inner depth of wellness into a spatial reality.
great project !!
It has become an extremely functional and user-oriented design. It is clear that user needs and demands were carefully considered throughout the process. Great work and congratulations on your effort.
It’s a well developed project. Overall organization is even more than great!
A strong, context-sensitive thesis that thoughtfully addresses seasonal flooding through community-driven and adaptable architecture. Further development of the architectural drawings and flood-response details could strengthen the promising concept and its practical impact.
Such a wonderful way of seeing, thinking and responding to one's surroundings. This project is truly thoughtful and deeply connected to it’s context. Bravo for the effort and dedication behind it!
