In QUEST design studio is an architectural firm established in 2017 by Selim Altaf Biplob, Tamanna Sayeed and Khalid Bin Kabir. It is based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The name of the firm is synonymous with the basic driving force behind architectural practices, which is, never-ending search, relentless quest for something more, something better. Architecture is not only about shelter but satisfying imagination and ego as well. For every living species, shelter is essential where they can generate complex structure for themselves. Some animals and insects are so intelligent that their colony can be compared to the modern day cityscape. But only human race wishes to build something not only to protect themselves from adverse environment but sometimes to glorify his ego, agony or joy. That’s how architecture evolved as a relentless search for something more, to achieve something immeasurable. Throughout the history, architects are in quest of appropriate answer for each and every type of structure and the search goes on. And this QUEST is fundamental to all architecture practitioners.
The senior partners of In QUEST design studio - Selim Altaf Biplob and Tamanna Sayeed - did their graduation from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 1997. Soon after, they began their own architectural practice under the name “Synthesis Architects” along with friend and batch mate Patrick D’ Rozario, one of the most prominent names in the field. Their firm achieved several architectural awards, both nationally and internationally, and secured its position as one of the leading architectural firms of the country. Synthesis Architects has been a breeding ground for many promising young architects. Tanvir Hassan Niru was one of them who eventually became another partner from 2013. Khalid Bin Kabir, the other partner of In QUEST, has also graduated from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2012 and joined Synthesis Architects in 2010 as an architect. After 20 years in the field of architectural practice since 1997, Selim Altaf Biplob, Tamanna Sayeed and Khalid Bin Kabir have now launched a new venture - in Quest design studio. Two decades with Synthesis Architects had been a fascinating opportunity to gradually grow as professionals. In QUEST is an attempt to lift the creativity and imagination to a new level.
