Architecture explained. Weekly. Free!!!
"You save the image - never learn the building.
These pretty images are easy to find. But, the thought behind is not.
Every Friday I send one Residence PDF — enough images, fully explained. — free to anyone who wants to think deeper about architecture."

Every project I designed, I first studied someone else's. Not the photos — The plans. The sections. The decisions. That habit changed how I design. I want to share it with you.
Behind The Design
BLOGS
textbook never said These_
I spent a decade drawing buildings before I started questioning them. What I found was this_
— Architecture is not qualitative. It is measurable. It is binary. It is a decision that changes how people move, gather, avoid or connect.
This is where I document what I am learning to see.
10 years of practice, 100 of buildings, 1000 of small decisions that nobody questions. This blog is me finally questioning them ( in বাংলা ভাষাতে 🙂 ) This is the place where I collect those questions — and slowly, post by post, try to find the answers.

AI & Architecture
The Theory
A new Lens
Architecture gave me a language. Twelve years of practice gave me doubts about it.
The definition I was taught in university — I do not fully believe it anymore. Not because it is wrong. Because it is incomplete. Space is not just form and function. It is behaviour. It is politics. It is a binary process we are only beginning to measure properly.
That is what I am working on now – The Measuring.
Connecting architecture to society, to AI, to a way of seeing buildings that is less about beauty and more about what actually happens inside them. I am working on web apps around that belief. I am redrafting the definitions I was told never to question.
