Her Bachelors thesis was \u2018Neighborhood nucleus protopia: accommodating spaces underneath the Tejgaon-Bijoy Sarani link road flyover\u2019, where she designed a sequence of collective hybrid spaces on the street under the flyover, to stitch back the once well-knit two \u2018<i>paaras\u2019 <\/i>\/communities. In 2022 She completed her Masters (M.Sc.) as Magna Cum Laude from KU Leuven, Faculty of Architecture, Sint-Lucas Brussels and Ghent campus, with the Bangabandhu Science and Technology Fellowship. In her Master&#8217;s thesis \u2018The House of Gregarious\u2019 she proposed to create a series of super safe, highly tolerant series of queer collective spaces, in Christopher street, a highly gentrified neighborhood in West Village, Manhattan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She has experience in practice in the field of architecture. These experiences also include working hands-on as an architect with marginalized communities in the south Asian context, namely Bangladesh (Sadek khan slum in Dhaka, traditional craftsmen community in Jhenidah), India (Laurie Baker Center), and Nepal (Earth-quake struck village of Kavre Pal Chawk).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Currently, she is researching queer collective spaces in Bangladesh under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Kris Scheerlinck (prom.) and Associate Prof. Dr. Mohammad Habib Reza (co-prom.).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Paper Publication: <span class=\"s1\"><i>\u201cJourney by Chitrangada of Tagore towards social acceptance: an accolade to gender discourse through Rituparno\u2019s eyes\u201d<\/i>&#8211; <b>Bangladesh Film Archive Journal (June 2018)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Aniqa Nawar (1993) is a Bangladeshi architect and researcher, currently based in Belgium.
