S.M. Shafaiet Mahmud has a passion for innovative ideas, exploring the boundaries of visual art and architecture. He completed his Bachelor of Architecture from American International University Bangladesh (AIUB) in 2017. His B.Arch thesis project, titled “Urban Remediation: Turning Landfill Site into Public Park,” sought to develop an existing landfill into a community urban park, creating a model for turning “negative” zones into vibrant public places. The project questioned the conventional practice of waste management, which has a great impact on the infrastructure of any city. Shafaiet’s proposal included a ward-based waste-processing facility prototype that would recycle waste at the landfill. His proposal was awarded the year’s best thesis and published in Context BD, a reputed online architecture platform.
Shafaiet has worked as an intern architect at Volumezero Architects. In 2018, he was awarded the design competition “Inhabiting Nature,” organized by Aditya College of Architecture (ACA), Mumbai, India. He attended the Institute of Architects Bangladesh architecture jamboree in 2016. His expertise is in complex geometry and coding in Rhinoceros and Grasshopper. He participated in EVOLO skyscraper design competition in 2015 and attended a workshop arranged by Habitat for Humanity Bangladesh called “Safe Sanitation 2014.” In this workshop, he was awarded 2nd prize for his “Community Toilet Design.”
At Ci+AU, he is currently working on the design of eight BRAC regional offices and a prototype pavilion for Aarong Earth, the display and sale space for Aarong’s herbal products. He is an associate member of the Institute of Architects Bangladesh.

Originally from Venezuela, recently got a Master from the Czech Technical University in the field of Architecture and Urbanism. She is focused on the development of social realities through the architectonic fact also interested in the relationship of the architecture and arts, and how to make our realities better in a sustainable way for our planet.
Art and design have always marveled me, for that reason I chose to study architecture where I discovered that there is more than just building a beautiful exterior or just thinking architecture as an investment. It is about creating spaces where art and design can be expressed in multiple ways and thought as one element combining the exterior and the interior. In addition, I am a strong believer in the ability and the impact of the architecture and research combined with design thinking for strengthening our societies and having a positive effect on the world Among other things, I am fascinated by lighting design, set designs and event design planning as well as my passion for photography. Therefore, I am planning to expand my knowledge in the scenography field that combines all these elements and gain more experience in it
