Cubeinside: “Learning, Unlearning” in Architecture

Cubeinside Design Ltd., a prominent architectural practice based in Dhaka, invites you to immerse yourself in "Learning, Unlearning"—a thought-provoking open studio exhibition that takes a bold step in the introspective journey of architecture.

Celebrating 16 years of exploration, struggle, growth, and redefinition, this three-day event (25-27 September 2025) offers a rare glimpse into the heart of architectural practice, engaging both the local and global conversation around the tension between tradition and innovation in Bangladesh.

At the core of Cubeinside’s practice lies a belief that architecture is never static. Rooted in deep respect for precedent, it constantly challenges, questions, and reimagines the role of design in our evolving cultural and physical landscapes. "Learning, Unlearning" is a direct engagement with the complexities of architectural creation within the unique socio-cultural context of Bangladesh, where every building must mediate between the universal and the specific.

For Cubeinside, architecture is a dialogue—a synthesis of universal techniques and the unique essence of the place it inhabits. With humility, it listens to the land, to the people, to the stories embedded in every site. "Learning, Unlearning" showcases this process of critical interrogation through works-in-progress, studio tours, and thought-provoking talks, which uncover the raw tectonics and ideation behind Cubeinside’s celebrated built forms.

The exhibition aims to bridge the gap between external perceptions of architecture as a finished product and the internal, often chaotic, journey of exploration and adaptation that keeps design responsive, alive, and relevant. It lays bare the tensions, contradictions, and risks inherent in architectural practice—highlighting how architecture, as both a social and cultural medium, is shaped by its time, context, and constant negotiation.

Visitors will experience an honest and unfiltered look at Cubeinside’s process—a critique not of architecture itself, but of the very lens through which we view the built environment. The exhibition foregrounds the idea that architecture is not just a physical commodity, but a cultural conversation that reflects and responds to our shared histories, dreams, and contradictions.

Join us at Cubeinside Design Ltd. in Dhaka for an unforgettable experience of learning, unlearning, and rediscovering the art of architecture. Through studio tours, live discussions, and intimate dialogues, "Learning, Unlearning" will open your eyes to how architecture can be both an act of humility and a powerful statement in its own right.
