A remarkable day of courage, creativity, and self-discovery.

Congratulations to the students of Design Studio 1, Department of Architecture, Bangladesh University, for their extraordinary performance in presenting โ€œThe Shell I Live In.โ€
What began as an exploration of identity transformed into a groundbreaking live showcase, where design stepped beyond drawings and models to become a powerful act of expression.

Our heartfelt appreciation to all the students of the 43 batch for embracing vulnerability, imagination, and authenticity with such confidence and grace.

Mentored by Ar. Rafiqul Islam Tushar and Ar. Augustin Anjan, this project stands as a testament to the transformative potential of architectural education when students are encouraged not only to design, but to discover themselves.

Well done, Studio 1. This is a moment to remember.

What shell do you live in?
When was the last time you asked yourself that question?
We did; to the students of Design Studio 1, Department of Architecture, Bangladesh University; and it became the beginning of a deeper journey.
In this studio, students were asked to look inward: to explore their layered personalities, to question what lies beneath the surface, and to confront their own subconscious. From this process emerged not just designs, but revelations.
In โ€œThe Shell I Live In,โ€ thirteen students were not simply tasked with designing a shell; they were invited to become the shell itself. Each work reflects an intimate translation of thought, memory, and identity into form.
We are pleased to invite you to the courtyard exhibition of these works, to be held on 24 June 2026 at 12:00 PM, at the Department of Architecture, Bangladesh University.
This exhibition is part of the week-long showcase โ€œPetrichor | Spring 2026โ€, a celebration of the first touch of architectural exploration, where ideas start taking shape and begin to breathe.
We cordially invite you to witness this unfolding journey.

PETRICHOR is the semester-end exhibition of the First Year Design Studios (Level 1, Term 1 & Level 1, Term 2) at the Department of Architecture, Bangladesh University. It celebrates that very first encounter with architectural thinking, where observation becomes curiosity, imagination finds structure, and ideas begin to take form.

Each drawing, model, exploration, and experiment on display is more than a studio exercise. It is a record of transformationโ€” the pleasant and lasting imprint left when the first drops of architectural knowledge meet young, creative minds.

We warmly invite students, architects, alumni, educators, artists, and everyone with a love for design to walk through this journey, engage with the work, and witness the beginning of many architectural stories yet to unfold.

Exhibition: PETRICHOR
