Contrary to the popular belief, ‘Architecture’ does not only mean building construction and interior design. Since my academic life, I have always been intrigued to explore ‘architecture without architects’ and this interest has led me to engage in community driven projects or sometimes engage as a researcher for urban design related issues. This website is a compilation of my journey of exploring architecture through research, design and writing.

About me

Hi, I’m Rubaiya Nasrin

I am one of the co-founder and community architect at Platform of Community Action and Architecture (POCAA). I have completed my Bachelors in Architecture from BRAC University (2013), and currently studying Masters in Urban and Regional Planning in BUET. After working as a ‘Community Architect’ for BRAC university and ‘Design Architect’ for BAY Developments, I have worked as a Senior Research and Design Associate for Bengal Institute for Architecture, Landscapes and Settlements for more than five years. My interest for understanding cities and people driven process in architecture has led me to work, visit, volunteer at many places and my journey continues with new explorations and insightful experiences.
