Whispering Layers: A Symphony of Cohabitation
In a world where the paths of nature and humans converge, architecture must tread lightlyβwith respect for every creatureβs place in the ecosystem. This project reimagines infrastructure as a gentle touch on the earth, softly weaving together layers of life inspired by the delicate textures of nature.
The design employs lightweight tensile structures, drawing from the craftsmanship of local rickshaw wheels, to create a seamless fabric of life. Each layer of this architectural composition is infused with intent:
- Ground Layer: Welcomes the mongoose and other creatures that find solace in the shrubbery.
- Floating Deck: Forms an interactive connection between humans and the natural world.
- Canopy Layer: Nurtures life above, offering a sanctuary for squirrels, birds, and plants.
Each of these layers works in harmony, like a symphony of life. This is not merely a structure but an invitationβto belong, to share space, and to appreciate rhythms of life often overlooked. Empathy and coexistence lie at its core, ensuring that architecture becomes a gesture of cohabitation, not domination.
Project: Rejuvenation of Old Academic Building, BUETΒ
Role: Team Leader and Designer
Year: 2021β2022
Design orchestrates an interface inspired from METAMORPHOSIS, aimed at exploring psycho-sensory, emotional appeal of loci inside a socio-cultural prototypical impression, “ΰ¦ΰ¦ΰ¦Ώΰ¦¨ΰ¦Ύ” (courtyard), which is considered as heart of the space in traditional Bengal Architecture. Through thoughtful positioning of Simulants & Envelopes with sensual colors & textures fused and gel with contemporary thoughts, events, and accentuated experience.
This project embodies the metamorphosis of materials and memories:
- Repurposed Salvage: Steel salvaged from ruins, mud teacups woven into surfaces, and a 70-year-old machine standing as a tribute to time.
- Discarded Testing Cylinders: Once forgotten, now filled with new life and purpose, symbolizing endurance and renewal.
This design is a story of past and present merging. It reclaims spaces once left idle, transforming them into a vibrant hub for learning, growth, and reflection. By celebrating endurance and revitalization, the design resonates with the resilience of materials and history itself.
Each detail serves as a testament to resourcefulness, transforming discarded remnants into vibrant, purposeful spaces. The greenery merges with reused textures, creating a sense of timeless coexistence between nature, architecture, and human intervention.

Bede-Co Synergy
Start Small, Grow Resilient and Strong
Bede-Co Synergy symbolizes a profound union, merging the resilience and wisdom of the indigenous Bede community with innovative contributions from diverse stakeholders (Co). This visionary project charts a transformative path towards a harmonious and sustainable existence, intertwining traditional knowledge with modern ingenuity. Guided by the mantra “Start small, grow strong,” the exploration began with on-site visits and engaged dialogues with Bede-Boiral communities.
The meticulous approach involved mapping their dynamic activities and evolving lifestyle, identifying pressing issues related to fundamental needsβhousing, sanitation, drinking water, and poverty-related challenges. Community-synthesized solutions were devised, recognizing the critical importance of localization for effectiveness. Continuous feedback, garnered through interactions with Bede representatives, fueled a participatory approach. By uniting Bede’s collective strength with collaborative partners, the project ensures interconnected and resilient community systems that adapt to unpredictable tides of change.
Bede: A Crucial Asset
Amidst the looming specter of global climate change and rising sea levels (10β25 cm as projected by the World Bank for 2030β2050), the invaluable cultural and indigenous knowledge of the Bede community emerges as a beacon of resilience. In the face of mending floods, their time-tested wisdom for thriving in aquatic environments is not just a necessity but a crucial asset.
This project, Bede-Co Synergy, stands as a testament to the urgency of preserving and integrating this knowledge into broader sustainability and adaptive futures. Their embrace of a minimal lifestyle, eco-friendly materials like bamboo, and commitment to low-carbon practices showcases a harmonious approach to living
Design Approach
- Localized Solutions: Merging traditional boat-building techniques with modular housing innovations tailored for floating or flood-prone environments.
- Circular Approach: Leveraging sustainable practices such as floating gardens, localized water filtration, and waste reuse to combat waterborne diseases and flooding challenges.
- Collaborative Spaces: The incorporation of cultural gathering points fosters education, livelihood training, and community resilience.
- Sustainable Materials: Utilizing renewable resources like bamboo and repurposed local materials minimizes the environmental footprint.

Bengal Bio-Lego
A Circular, Low-Carbon Future Rooted in Heritage
Individual Project/Design
Year: Since 2023
Bengal Bio-Lego redefines rural construction by integrating Cross-Laminated Bamboo (CLB), matured Coconut and Betel Nut Trees, and bio-based skin materials into a modular, parametric system. Drawing from Bangladeshβs rich timber-centric nomenclature for “Purlin,” “Rafters,” “Beam,” “Column,” “Stud”βthis approach preserves vernacular traditions while advancing sustainable innovation.
In rural Bangladesh, traditional timber houses, refined through centuries of experimentation, have long been central to local architecture. These timber-framed dwellings are characterized by structural components such as posts (‘Khuti’), horizontal beams (‘Choukath’), end beams (‘Kachpair’ and ‘Kolpair’/’Kodla’), sills (‘Peti’), lintels (‘Choukath’), internal beams (‘Ara’), purlins (‘Chera’), jack rafters (‘Rua’/’Madaam’), and hip rafters (‘Konaich’), forming the essential framework of these vernacular structures. Bengal Bio-Lego builds on this legacy, modernizing it through sustainable materials and parametric precision.
At its core, structural Lego blocks utilize 3-4-year-old bamboo, matured coconut, and betel nut treesβnaturally harvested at the end of their lifecycle. Skin Lego panels incorporate bamboo fiber, banana fiber, and coconut fiber blended with PLA and chitosan, ensuring biodegradability. Additionally, mycelium-based components infused with agricultural waste harness Bangladeshβs agrarian abundance, fostering circular, low-carbon construction.
Designed through Karamba 3D-driven parametric analysis, Bengal Bio-Lego ensures precision, adaptability, and resilience, merging biomaterials with local craftsmanship. By embracing heritage-driven innovation, it offers biodegradable, renewable alternatives that preserve structural integrity, cultural continuity, and environmental harmonyβpaving the way for a sustainable rural future.
