My fascination lies in the oscillating relationship between people and the spaces they inhabit in the city. Having grown up in Lahore, the socio-spatial transformations have somewhat been a muse for most of my academic exploits. My major concern lies in the diminishing sense of civitas and the shrinking public sphere. As architects I believe that we have always enjoyed this ‘divine’ status in building societies, persistently restructuring thought and revolutionizing paradigms.
Tameer Pakistan, RBL Construction, Layyah, Consultant
Designed a residential scheme for the flood affected people in Layyah, Punjab for approx. 400 affected families. Worked as a Consultant heading a group of 4 students under the supervision of engineers from Rafiq Bros. Construction. The housing scheme was a product of an extensive research conducted by the students and faculty of the National College of Arts, Lahore. The housing scheme aims to rehabilitate the lives of the flood affected people by providing them with basic health care, employment and better amenities to revitalize the lives for the present generation and the generations to come. The project was funded by International donors mediated by a local NGO by the name of Tameer Pakistan.
