RESEARCH PAPER PRESENTATION | IAB INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

The Department of Architecture, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST), is pleased to share the presentation of the research paper “Co.Lab: A Transactional Model for Re-Imagining Architectural Education” (authored by Abubokkor Siddiki, Eccles Ng, Kawshik Saha, Farha Moon, Md. Ferdous Rahman, Md. Arifur Rahman) at the International Conference on Rethinking Architectural Education for Future Practice, organized by the Institute of Architects Bangladesh.

A Collaborative Initiative between SUST and Birmingham City University (BCU), UK

The paper highlights a collaborative model of architectural education developed through the partnership between Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) and Birmingham City University (BCU). Bringing together academic institutions, community organizations, and local stakeholders, the initiative explores how sustained collaboration, contextual learning, and interdisciplinary engagement can enrich architectural education beyond conventional classroom boundaries.

Drawing on community-based initiatives, including engagement with rural communities, the research emphasizes participatory learning, knowledge exchange, and co-creation to address challenges related to education, healthcare, infrastructure, and climate resilience. It demonstrates how long-term academic partnerships can foster socially responsive design practices and contribute to sustainable community development.

This research represents an important step toward strengthening international academic collaboration and rethinking architectural education for future practice.
