Urban Thinking
Exploring how cities function, evolve, and respond to environmental and social challenges through design.
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.
Urban Continuum:An alternative learning ecosystem
Education has increasingly become detached from the lived realities of the city. Urban Continuum proposes an alternative model in which learning is embedded within the rhythms of everyday urban life. Instead of concentrating education inside institutional boundaries, the project distributes learning across existing neighbourhood spaces, creating an interconn
Mayura Bhoir _ Undergraduate portfolio _
This portfolio is a curated collection of works from my five years in architecture school, each project marking a distinct phase of learning and growth shaped by curiosity, collaboration, and a continuous drive to refine my design thinking. Together, they trace not just academic exploration but the gradual emergence of a personal architectural voice. Alongside this, the portfolio includes work from my internship, offering a glimpse into how these academic foundations found expression in professi
good work😍
Getting into different typologies looks very interesting
Mother river
Climate change has been present for a long time and affects the environment and the entire living world. The direct consequences of climate change can cause significant problems and that is why this project is considering a climate adaptable system in order to continue food production.
amazing girl 🤩 10/10
Awesome, good job

Toolset for a City's Metabolism
We call for embracing voids within urban tissue, not necessarily meaning these should be neglected in planning but rather open for spontaneity. As a spatial tool we propose a structure that can grow and shrink according to the needs and engagement of its creators - the locals. Constructed out of simple scaffolding elements it is fully reusable.
Linear City
The increased presence and use of automation and artificial intelligence in society will create radical changes to the way people live and work This project provides new ways to live and work for both people with and without the skills still needed to hold a job By creating an adaptable and expandable city AI can begin to best serve the needs of everyone.
From Sociofugal Grids to Sociopetal grounds: Third places as tools for rehumanising the industrial landscape
From Sociofugal Grids to Sociopetal Grounds explores how industrial towns, shaped by rigid zoning and mechanised planning, often foster spatial alienation and social disconnection. Through theories of sociopetality, placemaking, and third places, it investigates how neglected urban spaces can be transformed into inclusive environments that nurture interaction, belonging, and collective life.
one can see great work with pure dedication while reading this thesis.👍🏻
Great Work
Great work🙌🏻
Implementing Traditional methodologies in incremental housing model
This dissertation explores the integration of traditional architectural methodologies into incremental housing models, aiming to create contextual and adaptable living environments. The research investigates how vernacular principles, construction techniques, and spatial practices can inform contemporary housing approaches while allowing residents to gradually evolve and personalize their homes.

The post-carbon city
Moving beyond the question of decarbonizing transport, this article investigates the post-carbon transition as a catalyst for reconfiguring urban space. It examines how changing mobility paradigms reshape metropolitan structures, public space, and territorial organization, laying the foundations for a renewed architectural and urban model.
The end of expansionary urban planning
The article shows that the future of urban planning lies in transforming existing spaces rather than expanding cities, in order to address ecological, economic, and territorial challenges.
Metabolic Infrastructure: Reimagining Dombivli Station as a Civic Catalyst
This publication explores Dombivli Station as a key urban area influenced by the intersecting dynamics of mobility, governance, informal economies, and environmental challenges. Through urban theory, site diagnosis, and layered analytical mapping, it reframes transit infrastructure not as a purely circulatory system, but as a civic condition capable of supporting more inclusive, resilient, and socially productive forms of urban life.
Optimizing Transitional Spaces
This study examines how transitional spaces in Bur Dubai’s Meena Bazaar drive urban vibrancy and social dynamics. Using mental mapping, behavioral tracking, and mass void analysis, the research evaluates how spatial organization and thermal comfort impact usability in dense environments. It demonstrates that optimizing accessibility and climate comfort transforms these overlooked connectors from mere pathways into vital cultural hubs.
Loizou Architects and Associates Replace the Facade with a Living Green Shell in Limassol
A 360-square-meter mixed-use building in a dense Cypriot neighborhood trades its outer wall for a vertical garden of climbing vines and local plants.

A very good proposal. It keeps a perfect balance between preexisting respect and forward-thinking. the authors made a powerful analysis of the metabolism of the Eixample district nowadays. It assumes the goals of the competition (increasing density, for example) in a realistic way, feasable and equilibrate. there is also an interesting reflecction on how to "fulfill" the street spaces once the cars disappear. the proposal is very well explained, very clear and seductive. the drawings explain very well the concept, the ideas and the implementations, with nice axonometries.
A deep analysis and great infographics. Proposal respectful with the existing. I would only add that having a good synthesis capacity is important to transmit the clarest ideas... sometimes it was too complex to understand. Also, I would have appreciated seeing a more visual (more realistic perharps) photography of the impact of the proposal in the city.
What we talk about when we talk about Architecture? Do we talk about innovation, social behavior, nature, growth, time, change, sustainability, weather, citizenship, atmosphere, water, adaptability, welfare, environment…?. This project….yes.
Ecotopia in San Nicolas Valley
The San Nicolás Valley in eastern Antioquia, Colombia, faces ecological degradation. This project integrates elevated housing, silos, and vertical farming to restore harmony between urban growth and nature, fostering regenerative development.
A thoughtful and original approach that expands learning into everyday urban life. Further exploring how this model can operate across different public spaces could strengthen its potential and impact.
