🌸 শুভ নববর্ষ ১৪৩৩ 🌸

এসো হে বৈশাখ, এসো, এসো
এসো হে বৈশাখ, এসো, এসো
তাপসনিশ্বাসবায়ে মুমূর্ষুরে দাও উড়ায়ে,
তাপসনিশ্বাসবায়ে মুমূর্ষুরে দাও উড়ায়ে,
বৎসরের আবর্জনা
দূর হয়ে যাক, যাক, যাক
এসো, এসো
এসো হে বৈশাখ, এসো, এসো।

যাক পুরাতন স্মৃতি,
যাক ভুলে যাওয়া গীতি,
যাক পুরাতন স্মৃতি,
যাক ভুলে যাওয়া গীতি,
অশ্রুবাষ্প সুদূরে মিলাক যাক, যাক
এসো, এসো
এসো হে বৈশাখ, এসো, এসো।

মুছে যাক গ্লানি, ঘুচে যাক জরা,
অগ্নিস্নানে শুচি হোক ধরা,
মুছে যাক গ্লানি, ঘুচে যাক জরা,
অগ্নিস্নানে শুচি হোক ধরা,
রসেরো আবেশরাশি শুষ্ক করি দাও আসি,
আনো আনো আনো তব প্রলয়ের শাঁখ।
মায়ার কুজ্ঝটিজাল যাক দূরে যাক, যাক, যাক
এসো, এসো
এসো হে বৈশাখ, এসো, এসো
তাপসনিশ্বাসবায়ে মুমূর্ষুরে দাও উড়ায়ে,
বৎসরের আবর্জনা
দূর হয়ে যাক, যাক, যাক
এসো, এসো
এসো হে বৈশাখ, এসো, এসো

We just published a deep dive into Rafiq Azam — a poet of green architecture whose “From Ego to Eco” approach reshaped how buildings in Dhaka can breathe, gather communities, and welcome biodiversity. Why it matters to us at Studio 16: his work proves that modern, sustainable design can honor culture, follow codes, and still feel lyrical.

In the article you’ll find:
• The three pillars of Azam’s practice — tradition, nature, mysticism.
• How projects like S.A. Residence and South Water Garden use water courts, courtyards, and orientation to cool buildings naturally.
• Lessons on community-focused public space revitalization and award-winning impact.

Curious how these ideas translate to your next project in Dhaka or beyond? Read the full piece and let’s talk about bringing poetic, code-compliant sustainability to your site. What green strategy would you try first — a water court, a courtyard, or native landscaping? 🌿💬

Introduction: Bridging Tradition and TomorrowIn the dense urban landscape of Dhaka, Bangladesh, where concrete often overwhelms greenery, Rafiq Azam stands as a visionary architect who has spent over three decades redefining what it means to build responsibly. As the founder and principal architect....

I’m inspired by Marina Tabassum’s career — a powerful example of architecture rooted in climate, culture, and community. Her work, from the luminous Bait Ur Rouf Mosque to the portable Khudi Bari homes, shows how design can protect vulnerable people and respond to changing landscapes.

At Studio 16 Architects, we strive for the same balance: modern, sustainable solutions that meet local needs and international standards. We design with climate resilience, local context, and code-compliance in mind — architecture that serves people first.

Curious how these principles can shape your next development in Dhaka or beyond? Let’s talk design that’s beautiful, buildable, and resilient. Share your project in the comments or visit the link to read more. 🌿🏗️

Pollimongol Community Mosque | A Beacon of Faith, Unity & Community | Studio 16 Architects
Located in Pollimongol, Morrelgonj, Bagerhat, Khulna, this thoughtfully designed single-storied community mosque stands as a symbol of devotion, unity, and cultural identity. Spread across approximately 15 katha of land, the project is envisioned as more than a place of prayer — it is a spiritual and social hub for the local community.
Designed with a philosophy of simplicity and serenity, the mosque blends modern architectural clarity with traditional Islamic elements. Graceful arches, geometric patterns, and clean architectural lines create a timeless identity, while the spacious prayer hall ensures comfort and accessibility for all worshippers. The design emphasizes openness, allowing natural light and cross-ventilation to enhance the spiritual atmosphere and create a peaceful environment for prayer and reflection.
The surrounding landscape has been carefully planned to support both religious and community activities. A welcoming plaza, landscaped walkways, ablution facilities, and open gathering spaces transform the mosque into a vibrant community center. These outdoor areas encourage interaction, education, and social engagement, reinforcing the mosque’s role as a unifying landmark for the people of Pollimongol.
More than a religious structure, the Pollimongol Community Mosque reflects the shared values, faith, and aspirations of its community — a timeless space designed to inspire spirituality, connection, and togetherness for generations to come.
