Shafique Rahman and Nabilah Nargis was presented as poster presentation at the ACA20 conference.

The ARCASIA 20th Asian Congress of Architects (ACA20), organized by the United Architects of the Philippines, took place on 17-23 September 2023 in Boracay Island, Philippines. The event was centered on the Asian response to transformative change introduced by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), which aims “to build a new culture: one that embraces complexity actively manages risk, continually adapts, and seeks to learn alongside delivering results” amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Shafique Rahman was invited to participate in the Research Poster presentation at the ACA20 venue. It served as a great forum for showcasing work and fostering insightful debates among other researchers.
