DHAKA, May 07, 2026 — The Department of Architecture at North South University (NSU) has successfully organized its 19th annual exhibition, titled "First Step Towards Architecture."
Running from May 3 to May 9, 2026, the event serves as a premier showcase for the innovative projects developed by students in the ARC 111, ARC 112, and ARC 213 studio courses.
Mentorship and Academic Leadership
The exhibition was inaugurated at the NSU Exhibition Hall by Shahriar Iqbal Raj, Chairman of the Department. The ceremony highlighted the critical role of faculty mentorship in guiding students from abstract concepts to physical design. The event was attended by the course instructors, including:
Ar. Mujtaba Ahsan and Ar. Amity Kundu

A Platform for Future Architects
The "First Step Towards Architecture" exhibition vividly illustrates the cognitive journey of students as they navigate their foundational year. By presenting their work to parents, peers, and visitors from other architectural institutions, students gained valuable experience in professional networking and socialization. The projects on display reflect a blend of creative problem-solving and rigorous academic dedication, often the result of extensive late-night studio sessions.
Focus on Sustainable Design
As a recurring semester-end tradition, NSU continues to foster an environment where students transition into empathetic and logical thinkers. This exhibition underscores the department's commitment to preparing future professionals who are ready to take responsibility for a more sustainable and livable built environment.
