"Water is the protagonist in our landscape...
Human life here exists in a fine line balance with water, light, and greenery, which is lost when there is separation from these fundamental elements.
That separation - not necessarily in urban living - is the cause of our alienation and waning imagination.
So it's important that our architecture restores this equilibrium..."

Architect Rafiq Azam is a renowned Bangladeshi architect who has been in practice for over 30 years and has developed a distinct style of his own. His architecture is a harmonious blend of tradition, nature, and mysticism. Nature's tiniest elements are poetically adorned in his buildings. A house, according to him, is not only a place for humans to live but also a place for butterflies and birds to nest. Rafiq's mastery of light and shadow, water, and the air is influenced by mysticism, as mentioned by Lalon and Tagore. His maneuvers in "green architecture" appear to be an inspiring process of energy gain rather than a mere mechanism of energy saving.
