Barisal Riverport, once Bangladesh's second-largest transit port, has declined since the Padma Bridge cut travel time to Dhaka from 7-8 hours to 3, pulling traffic toward roads. As the historic heart of "Venice of the Bengal," the port shaped Barisal's river-centric identity. Commercial and administrative zoning now separates the riverfront from residential areas, limiting public access to the Kirtonkhola River. This project reimagines unused public spaces as green, pond-centered leisure areas—reconnecting people to river life and preserving the port's 154-year legacy. 

The Indo-Burma biodiversity region's finger-like terrain once hosted British tea estates near what is now Lauachara National Forest. Over time, tea estates and invasive rubber plantations encroached on the reserve, fragmenting it. The Jagchera tea estate community, descendants of Assamese laborers denied Bangladeshi citizenship, depend on the forest for firewood and furniture materials due to low wages and poor living conditions. This project proposes social forestry and hillside aquaculture to create sustainable livelihoods, linking blue-green networks and easing ecological fragmentation.

Resilient Urbanism focuses on adapting urban systems for sustainability. This Urban Studio analyzed Mymensingh City, which faces challenges from unplanned growth and a monocentric structure. The city's commercial Central Business District (CBD) is highly saturated with no room for expansion, causing severe traffic congestion, poor environmental quality, and high vulnerability to hazards. To address these spatial issues, the project proposes an Urban Acupuncture framework, introducing strategic intervention nodes to decentralize the business core through a dedicated commercial corridor.

The project transforms the Textile Department’s front lawn into a convenient social space with a cafe, snack facilities and seating. Centered around an existing jackfruit tree, the design follows natural movement patterns while providing private and open areas for short breaks and informal interaction.
