We are thrilled to announce that Payel from our Level-5, Term-1 Student has been named a ‘Finalist’ in the Interior Design category at the AYDA Awards (Asia Young Designer Award) Bangladesh 2025, organized by Nippon Paint Bangladesh.

Her exceptional work secured a position among the top six finalists out of 150 submissions from across the country. Her project, “Heritage Trail: Experiential Journey Through Crafting Cultural Storytelling,” reimagines heritage as a lived, human-centered experience rather than a static display. Through a walkable journey guided by spatial flow, the project connects the past and present through everyday practices, crafts, and sensory engagement. The design fosters awareness and responsibility toward preserving daily traditions, encouraging visitors to reflect on the cultural legacy they help shape for the future.

The esteemed jury panel for this competition included Professor Abu Sayeed M. Ahmed, Professor Zakiul Islam, Ar. Bayezid M. Khondoker, Ar. SM Nazimuddin Payel, Ar. NR Khan, Mr. Shariar Iqbal Raj, and Ar. Tanya Karim, with Ar. Rafiq Azam attending as a distinguished guest.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Payel on this remarkable achievement and look forward to her continued contributions as an emerging professional in the built environment
