Overview
The
Department of Architecture (ARC) at Shahjalal University of Science
and Technology (SUST), established in 2004,
stands as a leading center for architectural education, research, and innovation
in Bangladesh. Situated in the serene landscape of Sylhet, the department has
been pioneering architectural thought and practice in the north-eastern
region and beyond, with a strong commitment to creating a
sustainable and culturally responsive built environment.
The Department of Architecture offers a five-year Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch)
program designed to balance creative exploration, theoretical understanding,
and hands-on professional skills. The curriculum encourages critical thinking,
contextual design, and interdisciplinary collaboration, preparing students to
excel in a rapidly evolving global design landscape.
Since
its inception, the department has fostered a vibrant academic culture through design
studios, research projects, seminars, workshops, and annual exhibitions,
where students and faculty showcase innovative architectural solutions to
real-world challenges. The department actively engages with international
professional bodies such as ARCASIA (Architects Regional
Council Asia) and
the Commonwealth Association
of Architects (CAA),
promoting cross-cultural dialogue and professional exchange.
The Department of Architecture received accreditation from the Institute of Architects
Bangladesh (IAB) in 2015, ensuring
that its graduates meet national and international professional standards.
Beyond academics, students play dynamic roles in co-curricular
and cultural activities across the SUST campus, nurturing
creativity, teamwork, and leadership.
With
a vision to inspire responsible design thinking, the Department of Architecture
at SUST continues to cultivate architects who are not only skilled
professionals but also thoughtful contributors to society, committed to shaping
a more sustainable, equitable, and inspiring future.
