Location: Atlanta, GA

Atlanta’s beloved South River, ranked a shocking fourth most endangered in the US, battles a silent enemy – widespread pollution from countless, scattered sources across its vast catchment area. Monitoring and regulating these ever-shifting polluters is like solving a vast, ever-changing puzzle. Residents, often unaware of these hidden threats and how to report them, become unwitting bystanders as the river silently chokes. Even when pollution is identified, effectively tracking its origin and impact across the sprawling area proves extremely difficult. Even with knowledge, readily available solutions and resources to tackle pollution at its source are often absent, creating a frustrating stalemate.

But fear not! A beacon of hope emerges: a proposed research facility poised to become a knight in shining armor for the South River. This hub of scientific prowess will act as a pollution detective, wielding cutting-edge technology to identify and track the hidden culprits, empowering residents with knowledge and the ability to report and fight back. More than just a diagnostician, this facility will forge solutions, developing and offering customized tools for communities and individuals to tackle pollution at its source. By collaborating with neighborhoods, it will foster a sense of ownership and responsibility, transforming residents into active guardians of the river’s health.

This is not just a solution, it’s a call to action. Together, we can transform this crisis into a triumph, ensuring a healthy and vibrant South River for generations to come. Let’s join hands, empower ourselves, and become the heroes our river desperately needs.

The zoning of the South River Atlanta’s surrounding areas plays a crucial role in the river’s health. Ponds and lakes collect water from various sources, including rainwater, industrial runoff, and water treatment plants. These bodies of water, connected by creeks, significantly impact the river’s overall condition, as they serve as the primary sources sustaining its flow and can introduce toxic elements and sediments from diverse land uses.

Studio X Thesis | 2019, Duration: 14 weeks

Thesis Supervisor: Mahamudul Anwar Riyad, Nayna tabassum

Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh

Communal violence in south Asia is a very concerning issue for today and the last century. It creates an enormous threat to minorities periodically. For example, in Bangladesh, ideological minorities, namely, Hindus, Shias, Buddhists, and Shantal or other indigenous people, are victims of communal violence. Although Bengal had a culture of syncretic relationships between various ethnic communities, it has lost its harmony throughout many historical events.

In general, violence is linked to communal identity. Initially, it occurs in places where the polarization of settlement or gathering of minorities happens. So to protect their religious and gathering spaces, minorities have created fortifications and barriers encompassing their polarized territory or sacred areas. However, it is an enormous challenge to uproot communal violence completely because it requires social and physical reformation on a significant scale

In this situation, the scope for integrated social and communal activities can resolve some issues at the community scale. Moreover, the physical reformation of temples can make these social infrastructures more accessible and valuable to others, thus giving minority Hindus a chance to reintegrate with the majority Muslims. Initially, it may look like the attempt is making temples more vulnerable. However, it also gives others a chance to be a part of the premises through various activities and festivals. Therefore, mass people shall consider these social infrastructures as assets for all rather than only for one community. As a feedback to this move, the community’s people will feel the need to make these temples resilient and protect them from communal violence

Otherway it will reflect the harsh reality of communal hatred that we often ignore.

The solution to the Hindu-Muslim conflict is dialogue. Through my design, I showed that space could influence people to interact with each other with compassion, respect, and tolerance making it easier for individuals to connect with others from diversified beliefs. In this project, I re-integrated the Biharilal Joe Temple with the surroundings to create chances for people to strengthen the bonding in the community. Integrating the daily activities of mass people with the temple increases the chance of interaction between people.

Serving as a breathing space also creates a sense of equity in the temple premises. This sense of equity works as a catalyst to grow connection, love, and empathy in the mind of people. A community resilient to communal violence can only be expected when people are committed to establishing a symbiotic relationship and have the scope to show their solidarity in the community.

Swadeshi Movement Shifting capital to Delhi Government of India Act 1935 Independence, Partition and Riots.

Complete boycott of British products by the people of India. Muslims and Hindus protested together in “Swadeshi Movement” with a common political agenda.

Satyagraha (civil disobedience)

It was an indicator of compromising Bengali Muslim’s interest thus giving British Govt. a strong base. This first sowed the idea of a separate state for Bengali Muslims and Hindus. People from all stages had denied to work, and pay taxes to British rulers. A sudden call off on the movement cost Gandhi lose his allies. Jinnah and Motilal started two political parties for Muslims and Hindus in India.

A government was formed with members from Britain and India. Although the actual power was held back by British Government members None of the Muslim and Hindu leaders liked government act and refused to participate.

H.S. Suhrawardy urged for an independent Bengal Nehru and Jinnah got two parts of Bengal based on the Hindu and Muslim majority. 3 M muslims migrated from W.B to E.B. 5 M Hindus shifted from E.B to W.B. This mass move made Bengalis Refugee in Bengal

Languages movement. Mass Upsurge

Although Government and authorities from W. Pakistan tried to influence people with religious propaganda against Bengali but people refused to accept Urdu as an official language. A nationwide strike was started after the 21st Feb of 1952’s massacre. An ethnic nationalism started growing among Bengalis.

Mass upsurge started in 1969, The movement soon engulfed the whole of the then East Pakistan. Pakistan Govt. patronized the riots by spreading rumors and exaggerating and inflammatory stories of Muslim casualties in W. Bengal.

Independence Year of Independence The decade of Democracy. Post Election 2001 Ershad introduced Islam as the state religion in the eighth amendment. This was an attempt to get the support of most people of Bangladesh. In 1989-1990 there were several communal attacks. Scholars believe that making Islam the state religion gave the impunity to commit a crime in the name of Islam.

Newly born Bangladesh is surrounded by India, a Hindu majority nation. This raised a concern among the religious political groups. In 1977, secularism was removed from the constitution by a Martial Law directive. The removal of secularism from the constitution ignited the practice of religion-based politics in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh Nationalist Party won a plurality of seats and formed a government with support from the Islamic party Religion-based politics was widely popular. Spreading rumors against Hindus was a recurrent way of startling violence against Hindus. Moreover, it created a sense of apprehension among the minority communities.

The violence mostly occurred in South West Bangladesh which had large Hindu communities. The attacks were systematic with a motive to destroy the economic resources of the Hindu community, terrorize them into fleeing to India, and grabbing their properties.

CONTEXT AND

BIHARI LAL JEO TEMPLE

Bihari Lal Jeo Temple is located in a dense urban fabric of old Dhaka and is a sacred space dedicated to the Hindu minorities. The temple is situated in B.K. Das road which is famous point of attraction in Old Dhaka for its rich heritage buildings and heritage walk. Despite being the oldest heritage site of this heritage walk, there has been very little or no government or local authority contribution to protect it from religious violence. As a result, the temple authority created physical barriers that caused a social difference and made the temple restricted and disconnected from the neighborhood.

The Hindu community in this neighborhood also faces social; and physical inaccessibility along with discrimination, deprivation, and oppression from local politicians and goons.

Years of illegal occupancy and political issue of power brought a harsh reality to the heritage buildings and their vibrant neighborhood. Evicting illegal occupants, connecting the heritage sites, and reving the heritage walk of B.K Das road can revitalize the existing condition of this neighborhood. There are 17 heritage buildings; three are temples, and one is a mosque. Surely adaptive reuse of the buildings can draw people’s attention from various stages of society, eventually making the neighborhood more resilient to further violence.

Enlisted heritage buildings at risk.

Hidden inside fortified boundary.

The complex has Polarized Hindu Settlement. 93% of slum dwellers are Hindu and Illegal Settlers.

Threatened by local polititians and goons. Building in the north west block were demolsihed by goons.

Cultural Activities such as Kirtan, Puthipath other folklore activities are still being practiced here.

Sub-Urban Rural

Map of percentage of Bangladeshi Hindus by Subdistrict

There are various types of settings we can see in Bangladeshi Temples. The variation mostly depends on the size and the context of a temple. Polarized settlement of minorities and fortified boundaries are typical in urban and suburban contexts. Again some tiny temples are isolated from the community. Prominent temples in urban contexts get priority in terms of security. Thus, this makes significant temples isolated from the neighborhood. This variation of these settings in a particular context determines the chance of a coordinated attack happening in a specific temple complex.

1295 people were hurt (Death, Rape, Injury, forced to leave)

Attacking pattern of major violences in last ten years

If we analyze the pattern of coordinated attacks in the last ten years, every episode started from any of the temples. Which eventually spread to the nearby minority’s houses or business institutions, resulting in loss of life, rape injuries, and forced eviction. This unstable situation between the majority and minorities pushes the Hindu community into a fearful future.

The border we created in 1947 between countries is still taking place between communities in the localities, causing isolation, polarized living, and restricted areas to the majorities—such changes in the social contexts of Bangladesh driving unstable conditions in religious harmony. Unfortunately, there are such temples in Dhaka where these patterns are present and have been a vital point of communal violence many times. One of these temples is Biharilal Jio Temple, located in the dense urban fabric of old Dhaka. As an example, I will find ways to make this religious institution more resilient to communal violence and create scopes for spiritual harmony in the neighbourhood.

The new design approach is to make the temple complex more connected to the community through various activities and amenities for mass people. In addition, a secular system for the temple will provide a sense of ownership to all community members. Finally, this approach can make the temple resilient to communal violence with the help of all the neighborhood members, regardless of which religion one believes.

Temple complex and Plaza

The Temple complex and the adjacent temple property are separated and hidden by the fortified wall and shops. However, this formation is keeping the temple disconnected from the community and losing its chance to be an integrated part of society. By relocating a few functions and utilizing abandoned assets, we can convert the temple into a more engaging urban space for the community.

This space is designed to create opportunities for sharing ideas and views among the visitors and people of the community. The addition of this space can break the stereotypical concept of religious spaces used only by the followers of that religion Public space and semi-public spaces are distributed on two levels. Upper floor houses space for a library and terraces, supported by sixteen pilots. The area below the library mass is divided into three layers of functions: temple exhibits, Adaptive exhibition-festival space, and Outdoor temple.

A Second Chance

Studio VIII | 2018, Duration: 6 Weeks

Studio Supervisor: Dr. S M Najmul Imam, Patrick D’ Rozario, Nefsun Nahar

Location: Noakhali, Bangladesh

Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries to the impacts of climate change. People face extreme climatic events such as erratic rainfall, flooding, drought, sea-level rise, cyclones, river erosion, and salinity intrusion every year. As a result, people lose their homes, farmland, and source of income.

After these events, people migrate to the nearest township or mainly to the capital city Dhaka in search of work and shelter. However, the influx of this climate migrants to city areas makes it challenging to provide a job for a significant portion of the migrants.

Migrated people find it almost impossible to buy a new home in these city areas. Some who have little savings manage to buy a small home in the nearest small towns. However, losing their previous assets and savings weakens their economic stability.

This project seeks to find ways to revitalize their existing assets to support and flourish their skills to support them economically. Minimizing construction costs, creating an efficient way of production, and symbiotic co-existence of the production zone and the residential zone is the key to utilizing every stakeholder’s workability.

Sandesh

Sandesh is a dessert originating from the Bengal region of the eastern part of the Indian subcontinent. It is a food item that has a thousand years of popularity. Among various Sandeshes, coconut and sesame Sandeshes are popular in southern Bangladesh, where coconut and sesame are highly available. Dehumidification is an important part of preserving this Coconut Sandesh, whereas Sesame Sandesh doesn’t need dehumidification to preserve it for a longer time. That’s why Sesame Sandesh is suitable to make in monsoon. Traditionally sun drying method is widely popular in processing this food item. Molde with floral patterns gives the shape of a Sandesh, with a distinctive pattern on both sides.

Studio VI | 2017, Duration: 5 Weeks

Studio Supervisor: Dr. Zebun Nasreen Ahmed, Kazi Fahriba Mustafa

Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh

Nestled on a tranquil island within a lake, this architectural project explores the intersection of nature and built form. The design takes inspiration from the remarkable beehive, mimicking its efficient structure and embracing its functional beauty.

The beehive’s unique hexagonal form provides exceptional stability while offering the flexibility to adapt to various shapes. This modularity translates into an innovative design where individual modules vary in their outward extrusion. This dynamic form not only evokes the organic flow of the beehive but also serves a functional purpose – meticulously controlling the amount of sunlight entering the interior space.

This project, envisioned as an atelier for an architect, prioritizes uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape. By manipulating the hexagonal modules, a fluid form emerges, offering the architect a serene and inspiring 360-degree panorama from their workstation.

Existing Site Single way curve Singleway curve (aligned with another axis) Doubleway curve Desired form Orientation And Axis Form In the Vacant Space

Honeycomb structures are natural or artificial structures that have the geometry of a honeycomb to minimize the amount of used material to reach minimal weight and material cost.

The main idea came from the change in the sun’s path. Changes in the extrusion of a module’s boundary can vary by location. Considering sunlight and heat gain, examining the shadow pattern of different values determined the values of parameters and constants. This way, we can achieve a screen design that allows us to visually connect to the surroundings while the heat gain is also precalculated and controlled. Inspiration

Studio IV | 2016, Duration: 4 Weeks

Studio Supervisor: Mahmudul Anwar Riyaad, Mohammad Tahajibul Hossain

Location: Bandarban, Bangladesh

Atop a majestic hill in Bangladesh, this art gallery design emerges from the very essence of the landscape. The project draws inspiration from the dramatic folds of the surrounding hills, seamlessly blending the built form with the existing skyline.

The design transcends the traditional gallery concept by delving into the hidden form of the hill. Unlike the exterior which seamlessly integrates with the existing topography, the interior spaces replicate the experience of being within the hill itself. This unique spatial flow creates a captivating sequence of indoor and outdoor experiences, blurring the traditional boundaries between the two.

The structure is a powerful marriage of strength and form. A steel frame serves as the backbone, providing support and stability. This framework is then clad with prefabricated panels, carefully sculpted to echo the spirit of the site and respond to the specific forces of the context. These transitional spaces not only compliment the natural beauty of the environment but also create a dynamic canvas for the art within, ensuring that both the structure and the exhibits within resonate harmoniously with the surrounding landscape.

The concept was blending the form of the structure with the terrain. Keeping the property of the skyline as it was before.

You can come from any part of the world, just clean the area of plastic garbage, submit them here, and you’re covered! Plastic waste used as currency here will be recycled and used to make building materials for this hostel and other affordable housing projects in different places. That way, you can have impact on creating a cleaner & greener earth!

See the ramp? That is the only fixed structure here acting as a landmark and beacon for this hostel. And it’s not only open for the hostel quests, but for the whole Berlin.

Don’t forget to enjoy the big pool! Swim in a hot summer day, sing and dance by it in rain, sit beside and read a book in a fall after- noon, or ice skate on it in winter!

The art park, for you, will always be evolving. You’ll find new experience every time you visit. Sometimes an art gallery, or a movie theater; sometimes a local gathering and children playing, even as a concert venue!

Interact here with the people of Berlin here. Exchange values, get inspired, and inspire them with your life-culture and idea of bohe- mianism! Who knows, some of them might join you on your next quest as well!

Office Works Technical Drawings

In this project, I designed the layout for the site and created this visualization for my office. This project houses the tesla service center, warehouse, and office space. The challenge was to design according to tesla standards and keep scopes for green patches and soft surfaces.

This project was designed to accommodate cross-dock facilities. The existing concrete pad covers 100% of the site. Also, the neighborhood needed a buffer from the truck parking area. To increase the number of soft surfaces, we created a 15’ buffer line around the site and create space for planting native trees.

This project had the considerable challenge of accommodating four movie studios within the existing built area. We Kept the existing structural framework as much as possible to minimize the construction cost and utilize the existing assets. We also focused on creating public space and improving the landscape in front of the property. We tried revitalizing the existing soft surfaces through landscape design ideas and incorporated gathering spaces for the neighborhood. also met the counselor to explain our ideas and vision to develop this property and offer breathing space in the neighborhood.
