Ep #01 Fahim: Navigating Career as a young Architect in Bangladesh | Safwane | The Creator's Lens

I sat down with Fahim, a recent architecture graduate from BRAC University who made a choice most of his classmates didn't — stepping straight into the construction industry, working on some of Bangladesh's biggest projects while most fresh grads were still chasing design portfolios. What was supposed to be a conversation about that career pivot turned into a conversation about how young architects can actually build a career worth having in a country full of graduates chasing the same handful of jobs — we covered why he chose site work over the studio, what a semester in Norway taught him that five years in Dhaka couldn't, why exploring outside your field might be the most underrated skill in architecture, and what he wishes someone had told him before graduation.
