Located in Hijuli, Manikgonj, Bangladesh, light and legacy shape a spiritual landmark at the Shah Muhammad Mohshin Khan Dargah, a serene tribute to faith, memory, and community. Commissioned by the eldest son of the late Pir Shah Muhammad Mohsin Khan, a respected religious leader, the mausoleum was designed by Ar. Md. Sharif Uddin Ahammed to preserve his father's legacy and offer a place of reflection for the local community Set within the family home, the 2,116-square-foot structure combines simplicity and spirituality through thoughtful design. Jali brickwork filters natural light through curved walls, casting patterns that shift throughout the day. Its circular layout and ribbed concrete ceiling draw the eye upward toward cylindrical skylights, creating a sense of calm connection between earth and sky. Photos: Asif Salman

Bionic architecture, which in the works of Zaha Hadid looks like the embodiment of futurism, actually traces its roots back to the 19th century - to the works of Antoni Gaudí. He made a radical break from classical architecture, sculpting complex structures that echoed the organic lines of nature. Take a look at the facades of Casa Milà (1912), and you can clearly read the structure of a spine; in its columns, the branches and trunks of trees seem to converge. Gaudí believed that nature had already discovered the most efficient way to distribute loads - in the anatomy of animals and plants. 📍Casa Milà. Pg. de Gràcia, 92, L'Eixample, Barcelona, Spain
