Editor’s Notes
With the launch of ArchBiz, we take the first step toward creating a space where architecture is not just documented, but threaded as a living dialogue -between design and culture, materials and innovation, business and community This inaugural issue reflects the many ways architecture shapes our lives. Through the lens of Asif Salman, we see how buildings become memories. In the journey of Engineer Shamsul Alam Bitu, we discover the quiet strength of structural design-an often-invisible discipline that holds our cities upright. We travel to Cox's Bazar with Discourse by the Shore 2025, where architects debated sustainability against the backdrop of the sea. In Gulshan, HATCH crafts refined interiors where materials and textures create a canvas of minimal luxury, while the story of Navana Shangshaptak shows how light, stone, and glass can be orchestrated into privacy and exclusivity. From Dhaka to London, we witness Marina Tabassum's Serpentine Pavilion, a Bengali Shamiyana translated into a global cultural moment ephemeral in form, yet eternal in memory. Beyond borders, the Art o'San Studio Gallery in Sri Lanka offers a modular platform where art, architecture, and entrepreneurship converge. With Professor Abu Sayeed M Ahmed, we revisit the evolution of architectural education, while through Shah Cement, we see how Industry can lead with technology and social purpose. Together, these stories embody the essence of ArchBiz: architecture as collaboration, culture, and care. May you read ArchBiz not only as a magazine, but as a mirror of our times where building is about shaping futures and leaving stories that endure.
