E-WASTE SYNC: A RECLAMATION CENTRE FOR ELECTRONIC WASTE
E-WASTE SYNC is a proposed reclamation Centre at Kaliakoir Hi-Tech Park, Gazipur, addressing Bangladesh’s informal e-waste problem through safe collection, sorting, repair, dismantling and material recovery. The design integrates controlled circulation, worker welfare, research, training, climate-responsive systems and circular resource recovery.
Rain
We live under towering skyscrapers, often feeling overwhelmed. To reduce this pressure, we propose a climate-responsive tower. Instead of rigid structures, the design embraces organic curves, creating a softer urban experience. With Singapore’s water agreement ending in 2061, the building integrates a rainwater system for self-sufficiency and security.
Developing Resilience through architecture in the Anthropocene -The case of Gorai Koliwada
This thesis investigates equity as an architectural framework for addressing unequal access to space, infrastructure, resources and opportunities within Gorai Koliwada. The project questions who architecture serves, who remains excluded and how spatial interventions can redistribute access without displacing existing communities.
THE CART-HOME
Is a device for living and working in the street, a public good of decentralized administration. Is an opportunity for those in need, which provides emergency shelter and working spaces: a movable furniture that adapts to our contingencies.
Pixel Gardens.
The project aims to create a building out of a one unit modular,there are millions of a building or a form made by one modular but only few that fit to any selected context.
Well explained concept and analysis. Good luck to this candidate! Chapeau bas
good luck Salem, very nice project.
a great wonderful project , good luck dear architect
Adaptive Reuse of India United Mills no. 2 & 3
Located in Mumbai's historic Girangaon district, the project reimagines India United Mills 2 & 3 as a productive public precinct. Through adaptive reuse, retained industrial structures are transformed into spaces for learning, cultural production, community engagement, and public interaction, preserving site's heritage while creating a vibrant civic center.
A strong and well-researched adaptive reuse proposal that successfully connects industrial heritage with contemporary production, learning, culture, and public life. The project is particularly convincing in its site strategy and integration of new structural systems within the retained industrial fabric. Greater conceptual and architectural distinctiveness could elevate the proposal further

Interesting approach to the mixed-use definition. Good study of the modules and their variety/flexibility. We have appreciated the consideration of the 'facility strategies', gives a realistic approach. I would only add that maybe the height could be reconsidered.
The “compact space” is projected as a conflict between open and enclose space. It gives architecture a dimension of depth that is not exhausted on the spatial scale, but works jointly with the open space to manifest its void as a possibility. It is a probability and it is shown as a dominion of the region of possibility. It transcends the "being object" of architecture at the moment or stage of its apprehension by our awareness.
(pr)OpenCity
‘(pr)OpenCity’ advocates a collaborative design method for future development: one that allows rapid application with its prototypical nature and an inclusive approach with mediation between the ‘user’ and the ‘urban’. Building upon the concepts of ‘open-sourcing’ in design, this experiment establishes a user-centric design approach to built interiors of fut
