Academic works

Shortlisted studies Urban design · Cultural buildings

Ideas tested through drawing, context, and climate.

Three academic projects: a landscape for the former Tejgaon Old Airport in Dhaka; an art institute at Jahangirnagar University; and the Nazrul Institute, organised around water, public rooms, and vegetation.

01 / Urban design · 4th year, 1st semester

Tejgaon Old Airport

About 400 acres of leftover, inaccessible land in dense Dhaka. The proposal returns the site to the city with museum, art gallery, green open space, and waterbody — a planned breathing space of culture, heritage, and riverine landscape.

A 1.6-acre lakeside site. Programme includes sculpture, ceramic, painting, graphic art, history of art, and craft departments, with cafeteria, gallery, and library. Concepts draw on indoor–outdoor relationship, sculptural stairs, and courtyard wind flow.
