Trosolwyg
I am a Lecturer in Urban Design at the School of Geography and Planning at Cardiff University. My research interests lie in the intersection of architecture, urban design and human geography. My approaches to teaching and learning are informed by my extensive research experience on the relationship between built environment design and people’s behaviour, health and well-being. I have developed expertise in participatory design and planning, intervention research and evaluation of design for children’s learning, health and well-being and expanded my research horizons from Global South to Global North. I have pushed the disciplinary boundary and successfully placed myself in education, psychology and public health only to bring them together in relation to research and design of built environment.
Prior to joining GEOPL, I have worked as a Research Fellow at University College London and taught in Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at the University of Edinburgh. I have also served as an Assistant Professor and before that as a Lecturer in Department of Architecture in Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology.
I received numerous awards for my research and design projects that include Honour Award from American Society of Landscape Architects in 2017 , Great Places Award 2016 (in Place Design Category) by Environment Design Research Association, and Winner of Falling Walls Lab Edinburgh 2014. I was selected as the Scottish Graduate School’s first ever think in residence to research children's perception of aesthetics in their school and neighbourhood in Deveron Arts (now Deveron Projects) in Scotland.

Ymchwil
My research interests lie in the intersection of Architecture, Urban Design and Human Goegraphy. I am interested in the interaction that takes place between the built environment and human beings, particularly the design of built environment and landscape and children’s behaviour, their learning, health and well-being. My research experience includes studies on participatory design and planning, planning, implementation and evaluation of urban open spaces and outdoor learning environment of children at primary schools and urban residential areas in the context of Bangladesh, England, Scotland, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Spain and Portugal. More recently I have been working on displaced children's experience of places in refugee camps in Bangladesh.
Current Research:
Children’s perspectives on activity and resilience during Covid-19 restrictions With Dr Justin Spinney (Cardiff University) and Dr Muntazar Monsur of Texas Tech University, this study aims to find out what kinds of activities children and young people have been doing during the pandemic and how they have adjusted to the huge changes brought on by the lockdown. The research will be used to inform future urban planning policies, to the building of resilient child-friendly cities.
Crisis-led approaches to teaching and learning in Bangladesh: New frameworks for outdoor, blended learning in low-income country contexts. With Dr Tom Smith (Co-I, Cardiff University) and external partners: Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology and #NextGenEdu, this project examines crisis-led approaches to teaching and learning in Bangladesh in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and explores the potential for outdoor, blended learning approaches for future years in a low-income country context.
Displaced children's experience of places. With Professor Alexi Marmot from University College London and Mr Sheik Rana, an independent creative writer and lyricist, this research study investigates displaced children’s experience of places supported by a UCL Grand Challenged Small Grant 2019-2020 and a UCL Global Engagement Fund 2019-2020. The research study focused on exploring displaced Rohingya children’s likes and dislikes in their built environment and their preferences for transformation in their temporary settlements in refugee camps near CoxsBazar-Teknaf-Ukhia area in Bangladesh. A working paper reporting the findings from a workshop with stakeholders working in multiple sectors related to Rohingya children’s learning, health and well-being is available here.
Past Research:
INHERIT is an EU horizon 2020 funded project, for which I developed with my colleagues at UCL the framework for evaluation of nine interventions/case studies across Europe using mixed methods/quantitative research design. The intervention included development of neighbourhood open spaces in deprived residential areas of Sweden and Netherlands, creating access to green spaces for communities in Bilbao and development of a 3 kilometer long pathway in Malvik, Norway. I have also developed, implemented and evaluated a school-based gardening intervention in London for improving children’s health behaviour - their physical activity and attitudes to healthy eating.
Co-designing schoolyards for pedagogy and play
As part of my PhD dissertation in landscape architecture at the University of Edinburgh I co-designed and developed a schoolyard in a Government primary school in Bangladesh with children, teachers and the community. I also evaluated the designed landscape for play and pedagogy. This was developed based on my M.Arch project as part of which I designed and developed an outdoor amphitheatre in another primary school in Bangladesh. I developed co-creation approaches with children and evaluation framework for children’s environments that I implemented in Bangladesh, England and Scotland, the co-creation approaches have also been replicated with adults.
