DEYALL. arc mag is a virtual wall to display our thoughts, by exhibiting works of art, architecture, urbanism, nature and unveil protagonists who are less spoken about, to inspire a venturesome future of architecture.

This web-based magazine was conceived as an outtake from a research on the topic “Limited numbers of women in leadership positions in Bangladeshi architectural field”. The report revealed that one of the reasons behind low participation of women at the front row of architecture was due to lack of role models for emerging female architects.

According to our understanding there is, however, no paucity of architects with the potential to become an inspiring female role model. What is lacking is the knowledge about these women. Specifically because we have failed to address and highlight them, the study concludes with the solution: discussing on the internet about female achieving architects could help bridge the gap.

Nonetheless, in this fastforwarding, happening era, there are a multitude of topics that demand immediate attention. Let’s admit it, an unidirectional blog about ladies in architecture could prove to be pretty unstimulating, failing to serve its purpose! While training and being employed as architects, our founders were engaged in active conversation, but missing the formal platform which could generate a ripple effect of these “addas”.

We also felt that Bangladeshi architecture has its unique merit, which has been obscured for ages. We intend to integrate Bangladeshi and global architecture through our very own desi wall magazine.

Hence, we have finally crafted, with care and discretion, a magazine that allows all architects, students, teachers, professionals, art enthusiasts to come forward to write about and illustrate anything they wish to feature, because in this competitive field, we are scared to put forth our ideas, for the fear being judged stops us at all instances.

Segments of the magazine:

Environment

Discuss the receptacle of lives, the very earth. Starting from the inches around us to the broadest parameters, indulge yourself into the geographies that govern architecture and its context.

Structures

Feature any bult or unbuilt project. Analyze, criticize, eulogize buildings, city plannings or even discuss the impact of the particular wall withing the whole design.

Studios

Cosmo for you to indulge into arts and literature that reinforce architecture. Hold conversations through writings, artworks, photographs or sketches.

Archipedia

An encyclopedia of architects. Stories of architects from around the globe, in snippets. Let’s know about their works, their lives and find role models for ourselves!

Impacts made till now:

This magazine has worked to break the ice, made many students submit their write ups and made them confident and enthusiastic about sharing more of their thoughts, be it simple. Eventually, these people can get better, and with Deyall, they began to explore options they previously never did. Students researched on topics of their interest to write and illustrate them, and it was a matter of pride for the team that they were at least able to influence a very small radius of people.
