Taraque Masud Memorial

Bhanga, Faridpur, Bangladesh
Brief

A memorial for filmmaker Tareq Masud, asking how a building could honour someone who thought in frames and cuts rather than walls and rooms — and how it might speak to his personal, social and national concerns at once.

Analysis

The design treats the memorial as film language translated into brick and concrete: a sequence of framed courtyards, a museum and library, and a circular amphitheatre stepping down toward a reflecting pool — a spatial sequence built and then broken apart, the way Masud constructed and cut a scene.

Brief

A tower for Chattogram, where economic, traffic, administrative and natural forces converge — asking for a form that visibly registers those competing pressures rather than ignoring them.

Analysis

A rational podium anchors a slow structural twist up the tower's full height, letting the skyline form itself become a diagram of the external forces acting on the site.

Brief

A century-old Elizabethan-style theatre hall in Sylhet, at risk of being lost, needed a future use that would justify preserving it rather than replacing it.

Analysis

The proposal keeps the historic theatre as the anchor of a new riverside retreat, wrapping it with contemporary brick volumes so nostalgia for the past becomes the draw for a new public entertainment destination.

Full portfolio page, rendered as a pen-sketch, of the Begum Rokeya University gate concept
Brief

A competition to design the main gate of Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur — a threshold that had to honour a pioneer of women's education in Bangladesh.

Analysis

The gate's tilted concrete frame reads as a lamp holding a flame, with a central tree standing in for the flickering light — a form built from the Krishnachura-lined road it fronts.

Full portfolio page, rendered as a pen-sketch, of the Narayanganj Railway Station concept
Brief

A railway station sited between the Shitalakshya River and Narayanganj town, needing to function as an arrival point read from both directions at once.

Analysis

Layered, folded canopy roofs are pulled into a single gateway gesture, giving the station a monumental, welcoming profile that orients visitors to the city beyond it.

Full portfolio page, rendered as a pen-sketch, of the Sylhet Club and Student Hall
Brief

A student hall for SUST needed to accommodate graduate, post-graduate and foreign students together, alongside dining and amenity space, without the result feeling institutional.

Analysis

Conceived as "breaking the forms," distinct volumes for each user group collide and overlap at a shared centre, and the friction between them becomes the building's social and circulation heart.

Full portfolio page, rendered as a pen-sketch, of the Art and Craft Exhibition Center
Brief

An exhibition centre for art and craft needed to represent not just finished objects, but the underlying forms and processes that all art shares.

Analysis

Titled "telling the myth of forms," the design strings a geodesic sphere, a pyramid and a rectilinear volume along a shared colonnade — primary forms standing in for the shared root of all artistic expression.
