The objective of this thesis is to better understand human-elephant interactions and generate a sustainable master plan for restoring ruinous forests so as to support coexistence. It also provides guidelines for Northern Bangladesh communities to mitigate elephant conflicts utilizing natural initiatives and adaptive interventions. 

The Asian elephant is an endangered species essential to ecosystem sustainability, which has observed its population in Bangladesh deteriorate from 3,274 to 228 over the past century as a consequence of habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict. Despite their cultural and ecological immensity, these sublime creatures face a disheartening future as their habitats become more confined and divided by civilization.

The architectural approach addresses this by drawing on historical cohabitation and cultural memory, ensuring that the design aligns with local ethnic identity and fosters a harmonious, synanthropic environment.
