portfolio Details

It is a proposed a women-led civic and training space located between Rampal and Mongla along Bangladesh’s saline southern coast, at the edge of the Bay of Bengal and the Sundarbans. 

The project supports lower-caste women, Dalit communities, single mothers, widows, divorcees, religious minorities, and girls living within a landscape shaped by salinity, climate vulnerability, and social exclusion. 

The architecture is driven by material adaptation to saline-prone conditions.

Strategies needed to take for this project are Elevated plinths to prevent rainwater level during rainy season and High tide period, reinforced foundations, and continuous damp-proof courses mitigate rising groundwater and salt intrusion.  

To prevent damage from saltwater, Sodium silicate mixture is introduced within concrete as a densifier, sealer, and binder with Mortar and plaster to ensure breathability and controlled moisture and salt migration which strengthens surfaces, reduces dusting, improves water resistance, and enhances long-term durability against saline exposure.  

Entire design is consolidated under one roof and organized around naturally ventilated, daylight-driven spaces. shaded thresholds, and cross-ventilation establish a breathable interior environment suited to a humid coastal climate. 

The project positions architecture as a resilient framework—where material intelligence, climate response, and collective care operate as a single system.
