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.
Farming For All
"Farming for All" is a living area that combines different programs focused on harvesting, learning, consumption, entertainment, and housing.
Compelling final scheme--especially the axon. Unlike other schemes, there was a lot of attention to the ground level. Bringing water into the parcel is a thoughtful design gesture.
PLUG-IN
The BHARAT BHAVAN finds its identity within its CONNECTS to the multi layering of the Hybrid Programs acting as a PLUG-IN with in the existing ecology.
Well analysed and sensitively approached. Interesting presentation as well. Good Luck from KalaSetu.
'Plug-in' fantastically showcases the design ability of Indian Architects to go beyond the cliche build forms and move into the world of design exploration through natural spacial formations. Amazing project. Very raw and though over design process. Good Work
Amazing!!!
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.

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
