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.

A Region-Specific Spatial Framework for Sustainable Water Management and Community Education in Southwest Bangladesh.

Bangladesh faces a growing water crisis due to pollution, overextraction, and inadequate management. This study proposes the country's first integrated, hydrological region-specific Water Research and Awareness Center, linking research, policy, and public education. Focused on the vulnerable Khulna region, it offers a scalable spatial model for sustainable water management and community resilience.

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.

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.

LifeCycle

Water crisis is one big issue that has hit human life quietly but severely. This program is supposed to provide a collaborative way of the modern and traditional way of collecting water from nature. To be aware about this global issue and to honor the people around the world who have sacrificed their lives for this cause.

A lot of time has been spent on developing the visual aesthetic of the fog catcher resulting in a well-designed piece. The link to protest is less well developed and feels underexplored.

THE INVISIBLE WORLD

If the container is round, the water is round. If the container is tilted silently, the water will whisper. If water's desire to express exceeds the container, then it will shock your soul. Therefore, we proposed the concept of "BIN + WATER", hoping to integrate and utilize water resources to create beautiful water landscape on the basis of barn satisfying a

Marvin Liu
Project Owner

As I was unable to find the FAQ tabs I will answer the Q&A here: 1. How do you foresee faith in the context of future? Certain aspects of different faith would eventually merge, but their uniqueness is to be kept for the civilization. 2. What are the concepts behind your design ideology? First I want significant use of water to replace fire -- Chinese tradition but not green. The design also induces a new way of paying tribute, which greatly include any faith under a non-aggresive ritual. Then, my design provides a particular niche--very green and seperated from outside. The design also prompts people to visit the place more often -- based on its late-night lighting, its personal ritual, and its overall nice environment. 3. How does your design incorporate a sustainable method of burying/cremating the deceased? Wooden planks will substitute tombstones and will decompose in a 60 year cycle for "new entry". This ideologically works as the dead would want to rest uninterrupted after so many years and the close relatives would likely be gone by then. A water treatment system is also set up to sustain the environment. 4. How is your design scalable for growth and cater to the growing population? The "cycling" of new spots upon the old ones is one part. The entrance tunnel merging at the center of the design and then let out people is another measure to ensure the order of the site and create more well-aligned spots. 5. What are the strategies adapted in your design for making it inclusive? I completely created a new way of prayer. By planting flowers with water and seeds. According to my research, this practice is not in conflict to any faith. 6. How does your design balance the density and quality of space for the visitors? I have a huge space across the middle section of the site designed for resting areas and scenery. The used space for the dead are only to the sides. 7. What about the catering of funeral? You may go to the port and choose spray some ashes to the sea.
