One of the spaces in the re-imagined library module is a six-heighted reading area for children, with stacking areas on the second, third, fourth, and fifth floors. The stacking areas are typically monotonous and uninspiring spaces, but in this library, a bridge connecting the floors provides an exciting view of the children reading. This bridge serves as a circulation element and provides a visual connection to the reading area below, while also breaking up the monotony of the stacking areas Another space in the library is the vast six-heighted grand space, which serves as a nod to the old grand library experiences. This space features a dramatic dou- ble-height entrance with ample natural light and a large open space for reading, socializing, and events The grand space serves as a centerpiece of the library and provides a sense of awe and inspiration to visitors.

The Sylhet Cultural Complex is a visionary architectural endeavor that revolves around the concept of three metaphorical "dots," each symbolizing a distinct aspect of communal gathering spaces.

The first dot embodies expansive open areas reminiscent of village squares, inviting locals and visitors alike to gather, socialize, and partake in leisure activities. Serving as a vibrant hub for community interaction and cultural exchange, this space fosters a sense of belonging and togetherness among diverse populations.

The second dot is a semi-private plaza, evoking the bustling markets found at the heart of Sylhet's villages. Here, commerce and social life intertwine, as individuals engage in trade, conversation, and shared experiences. Balancing intimacy with openness, this semi-private space encourages spontaneous encounters and collaborative endeavors, enriching the fabric of community life

The third dot emerges as an open amphitheater, providing a formal yet inclusive venue for cultural events, performances, and ceremonies. Nestled within the complex, this amphitheater serves as a focal point for artistic expression and celebration, honoring Sylhet's rich heritage and traditions while embracing the spirit of innovation and creativity.

The re-imagined library features a community library space designed with a long corridor that includes benches for reading and relaxing. This corridor serves as a educational hub where people can freely donate and take books, creating an open and interactive atmosphere The space is designed with an open and fluid floor plan, allowing for natural light to flood the space and creating a welcoming and environmentally friendly atmosphere. The use of sustainable materials and the incor- poration of community engagement functions, such as the community library, encourages daily visits and promotes learning in a dynamic and inspiring setting.

Concept

The concept of connecting the dots in the Sylhet Cultural Complex represents bringing together three distinct gathering spaces: open public areas, semi-private plazas, and an open amphitheater. By seamlessly integrating these spaces, the complex fosters community engagement and cultural exchange, bridging tradition with innovation. Through this interconnectedness, the complex becomes a vibrant hub where people can gather, interact , and celebrate the rich heritage of Sylhet

K AIRA LOORO II WOMEN’S HOUSE

Type: Competition Project

Site: Sedhiou region, Senegal

Year: 2021

Women empowerment is a key ingredient to outlive impoverished rural households, it is also exigent for design framework will help out developing countries especially their rural areas to annihilate issues that undermine women’s ability to engage in economic activities. In our integrated design approach, we have unfolded reasons behind the lack of women ’ s participation in economic, for instance; unsung household activities, weak job market , lack of education, limited technology and skill, lack of business network, and most importantly societal prejudices. So, we tried to come up with a solution where one woman will stand for the other to uphold their social, economic and political status to establish women empowerment in society.

ENVISIONING A SAFE AND A SUSTAINABLE LIFE WITH ARCHITEC TURE FOR A WATER NOMAD COMUNIT Y IN BANGLADESH

Type: Competition Project

Site: Chadpur 10 No Ghat , Bangladesh

Year: 2023

n the riverside enclave of Chadpur 10 No gladesh, the Bede community grapples traditions and inadequate amenities. Respondi this challenge, a pioneering Monospac emerges, seamlessly integrating into their lifestyle along the Dakatia River. This visiona y p oj ect transcends architecture, serving as a dynamic hub for communal activities, discussions, and the revival of traditional practices. Informed by the Bede's ecological resilience, the structure embodies sustainability and modular design, becoming a narrative of empowerment . The Mono-space platform not only preserves cultural heritage but also envisions a self-sufficient future for the Bede community, fostering progress, unity, and a more sustainable way of life.

In response to COVID-19 challenges, our design prioritizes reviving public spaces by minimizing contamination. Through zoning, we allocate separate areas for walking, sitting, and vendors, ensuring controlled occupancy The modular structure delineates spaces, establishing clear boundaries between circulation and functional zones, facilitating the safe resumption of public activities.
