Architect & computational design researcher
Treating computation as a medium for experimentation — using rules, agents, data, environmental feedback and material constraints to generate architectural outcomes.

Computational Design, AI in Architecture, Digital Fabrication
Architect and computational design researcher exploring the intersection of architecture, computation and AI. My work investigates how parametric systems, generative algorithms, simulation and AI can enable adaptive and emergent design processes.
I approach computation as a medium for experimentation — using rules, agents, data, environmental feedback and material constraints. I hold a B.Arch from North South University (2025) and currently work as an architect at SpaceFlod Architects, Dhaka.
Factory[n]Certainty Thesis Research / Computational Architecture
- Speculative textile factory as an evolving cultural landscape integrating production, housing, learning, recreation, community and automation.
- WFC-based generative workflow in Grasshopper (Monoceros) generating modular factory and housing configurations.
- 1,000+ spatial iterations evaluated with environmental analysis; low-radiation alternatives retained for development.
- Unreal Engine AI agents simulating worker routines, machine operation and human activity.
- VR, AR and interactive game-based representations testing architecture beyond conventional drawings.
Proximity | Conceptual Installation (SpaceFlod Architects, 2025 – present) — led a computational installation exploring how local relationships and simple connection rules generate complex spatial networks; directed concept, workflow, geometric exploration and coordination.
Resort project (S3 Architects, 2023) — mass modelling, solar radiation analysis, parametric design, visualization and working drawings; introduced parametric workflows to the office for the first time.
