Architecture, to me, is not static—it is a living, evolving system that must adapt, transform, and serve human needs. My journey has been shaped by an exploration of tradition and innovation, precision and imperfection, permanence and fluidity.

In Japan, I was drawn to the philosophy of Kintsugi and the precision of timber joinery, inspiring my interest in delicate articulations and modularity. Living in Sabae, I observed how Tatami modularity, based on human proportions, shaped spatial organization. In Sri Lanka, studying Geoffrey Bawa’s bioclimatic strategies, I questioned how architecture could better serve Bangladesh’s monsoon-fed deltaic landscapes.

To answer this, I developed my “3D Ideology”—Decarbonize, Digitize, and Democratize—redefining design through low-carbon biomaterials, community engagement, and computational explorations. My work, particularly in Bengal Bio-Lego and Programmable Bio-Tectonics, integrates biological processes with architectural structures, drawing from cosmogenetic principles like Vastu Shastra, Maxim of Khona, environmental determinism, and ancient cosmology. This approach blends traditional metaphysics, environmental adaptation, and modern computational design, moving from a Develop-Demolish linear system to a Craft-Consume-Cycle circular system, aligned with sustainable construction principles and SDG goals.

I experiment with Programmable Bio-Lego systems, modular structures crafted from agricultural waste, mycelium, and natural fibers, designing adaptive, programmable spaces inspired by Bangladesh’s lost textile heritage. My exploration of foldable, stretchable, and reconfigurable forms challenges Vitruvian static ideals, embracing dynamic proportions that respond to shifting contexts.

Field visits to 14 indigenous tribes and firsthand experiences with cyclones and floods have reinforced my belief that architecture is more than shelter—it must breathe, move, and evolve. I see design as a means to restore ecosystems, empower communities, and reimagine a future where architecture is not just built, but truly lived.
