Bissaw Shahitto Kendro: World Literature Centre. Sylhet — Bangladesh's tea-country city, historically cosmopolitan, intellectually restless — is given an institution for the encounter between the local and the planetary literary imagination.
The project's formal proposition is structural and spatial simultaneously: a folded shell envelope that organises programme through geometry rather than conventional floorplate logic. The fold creates compression and release, interior light wells, and a silhouette that reads as civic infrastructure from the approach. Youth and intellectualism are the target civic constituencies — the building is scaled for encounter, not ceremony.
