About Me
“There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.”
- Zig Ziglar, author
I can very much relate the quote with my life as an architecture student. I want to get to the top so that I can learn from the best designers, architects, and thinkers, and for that I try to work hard. I believe this journey will make me flourish in my field and benefit humanity.
I like exploring different ideas and learning new skills. As a student from Bangladesh, a developing country, I may not be familiar with many of the modern innovations which benefits architecture. However, I am curious enough to study and research. I want to work for the sustainability of deprived people of my country in future.
I’ve entered several regional, national, and international design competitions. I also love travelling, playing the guitar, and doing photography.

Project Description: The design approaches to solve the accommodation problem of BUET through a vertical expansion. I designed the building in such a way that it consumes less energy and produces most of it through its renewable energy sources. The design follows passive design strategies.
The design tries to focus not only the building’s braced frame structure, but also on its high performance envelope. The building has two towers: The 45-storeyed ‘North tower’ and the 42-storeyed ‘South tower’. The north tower is designed to accommodate undergraduate students while the south tower is dedicated to post-graduate & Ph.D students.

Concept: Initally I tried to create height variations in the common spaces in each floor through single height or double height spaces. This also enables visual connectivity and appears appealing space to connect with people through interactions.
I also designed hanging balconies in such a way that they switch their positions, creating double-height like spaces which helps grow taller plants. Besides balcony vegetations, I designed automated pivoting panels carrying vertical vegetation beds. This type of facade is visible in lift lobby and double-height common spaces.

Project Description: Buildings can be viewed as composition of skeletons and skins. Formal expression of a building with integrity of space, structure and skin was the main focus of this project. It is a project which rethinks the current Dept. of Architecture, BUET Academic building by keeping the existing column-beam structures as much as possible. The project combines interactive spaces with newest technologies. It is a combination of science and art. The building is designed to have both automated and manually controlled metal modules that interacts with the climate and rotates according to the spaces’ needs. So, the building facade is climate responsive.

REJUVENATION
Design of a sports arena
Academic Project | Duration: 7 Weeks
Project Supervisors: Atiqur Rahman

Site: Gymnasium, Dhaka University
Project Description: Doel Chattar in the Dhaka University premises is a prime and historically significant location of Dhaka city, having Carzan Hall at one side, Mausoleum of Three Leaders at another side and university sports fields and gymnasium at another. The design involved rethinking the existing swimming complex and converting it into a sports arena, featuring futsal and basketball. The space was designed to be flexible and has a spectacular view of waterbody which separates the site from the crowded road. The building is designed to have a stunning view of the sports arena reflected on the waterbody. This project emphasizes understanding structural logic and perception through design. The goal of the project was to exercise large span architecture as well as studying steel structure.

Individual | Level 3 Term 1 2021 | Rejuvenation | Academic 03
Concept: The inclided facades have been inspired from the angles of an athtete’s running posture. The sports arena is designed in such a way that it reflects Dhaka’s climatic behavior in the building. The principles are derived from the traditional courtyard type housing. Each function is searated by an open space. The reflection of the superstructure on the waterbody at north of the building was a main focus of this design.

Site: Mawa Ferry Ghat, Munshiganj, Dhaka (Near Padma Bridge)
Group Project (Framework Design: 12 members | Detail Design: 4 members
Project Description: With the construction of the Padma Bridge, a rapid dramatic change is expected to take place in the lives of the millions in bridge-adjacent areas in Mawa. However, the construction of the Padma bridge somehow created a negative impact on the lives of the local people of Mawa as the transportation routes were changed, forests were damaged and the ferry ghats closed operation. Hence arises the need of riverfront development at Mawa, a place which was renowned for Hilsha fish, wholesale fish market and a recreational area. In this project, we proposed a framework which we believe will develop the riverfront area in a sustainable way. We call it “Symbiosis between Ecology & Economy”.

Design of Homesteads in the sundarbans
International Competition Project | Duration: 3 Weeks
Organized by: Trust for Search, Kolkata, India
Group Members: Shafiul Islam

Site: Shyamnagar, Shatkhira, Bangladesh
Project Description: For decades, the lower Sundarbans has been home to forest dependent people for years. Most of them lose more than they gain, forfeiting houses to cyclones, crops to salinity and sometimes, their lives to tigers. However, Sundarbans is drastically losing its former grandeur due to the parasitic symbiosis behavior by humans. The villagers use timbers and harm the forest incessantly. Many use tin or asbestos as roof material. Our design of homestead, has a goal of eradicating the current parasitic livelihood of people and introducing mutualistic living.
The proposed homestead has also been designed to be cyclone-resisting. It has several units, each made of wooden structure, mud wall and Nipa (Golpata) leaved roof cover. The wooden pillars, beams and trusses are joined by metal nut-bolt system of three kinds. The mud structure is supported by locally generated cable composite of coir-wire adjacent to the walls. The structure is strongly connected to the ground by plastered frames which saves the timber pillars from fungus.

• Cultivate forest resources & using those only
• Generating symbiotic relation wit forest where both gets benefitted
