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.

Multipurpose Sport Facility

The Breathing Arena is a 2,000-seat multipurpose indoor stadium designed for sports and events. Natural ventilation and a central ETFE skylight enhance daylight, passive cooling, and sustainability.

COMMON GROUND

An Urban Commons for Learning, Making Through Landscape

Khalil Taleeslami
Juror

A promising urban thesis that thoughtfully uses landscape and shared activities to reconnect a divided community. Further development of the architectural resolution and spatial details could make this strong social idea even more convincing.

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.

Khalil Taleeslami
Juror

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.

[ Terra // Critica ] 'Dialectics of Panormos Through Environmental Ethics'

[ Terra // Critica ] challenges the existing environmental ethics philosophies of ecocentrism and anthropocentrism by spatializing the theory itself into reality and to create “deeper” spaces of mutual existence and symbiotic relationships through relational engagement rather than a shallow existence of one // the other through water and coastal remediation

Khalil Taleeslami
Juror

A highly ambitious and intellectually rich thesis that brings environmental ethics into spatial practice. Clarifying and prioritizing the many strategies, while strengthening their technical performance, could make this powerful proposal even more convincing.
