Architect Khandaker Tarigullslam (23/90 ARCHITECTS)

our philosophy
To us, Architecture is not only a profession. It's more like feelings, emotion, understanding, belief, passion, a lifestyle. 23/90 Architects think ‘architecture’ is beyond a typical profession. We believe every typical solution has lots of alternatives which yet to be discovered, which may change our known physical world. The global communication revolution virtually brings the world into a single slate. With plenty of benefits, sometimes we forget our identity and mix it with cosmopolitan culture. We are not against it but that must not come through copying the West.

23/90 the name
Each part of the planet has its distinct climate, culture, and context from where architecture must evolve. To take the architecture of Bangladesh to the world level, global identity is essential. And we proudly express our individuality to the world through our name. 23/90 is the global position of our practice i.e. Dhaka, Bangladesh. (Latitude 23, Longitude 90)
We originally started with the name "matra & associates" in 2010. We regenerated as "23/90 architects" in 2014. Since then we completed over 250 projects of various sizes.
