About 

Hello!

My name is Mohammad Azhar Khan.

I am an Architect who is highly motivated to seek new opportunities in order to grow as an Architect and designer. I have professional experience working in India and Japan. I was working as an Intern Architect at Shigeru Ban Architects, Tokyo and currently experiencing various international projects under my current employer.

I feel architecture is way ahead of functional boxes. As an architect, I am interested in how architecture can trigger urban scenarios and human behaviour under different conditions. 

I would like to invite you to browse through some of my selected academic works. This portfolio captures a few selected works, including my architectural thesis, a studio project, competitions, and professional experience. These projects explore design challenges using various tools and techniques.   

Through these projects, I aim to express the impact of architectural morphology on an urban environment and how it transforms the urban fabric, including people's lives within its realm.  

I hope this portfolio demonstrates my passion and drive for architecture as well as proficiency in its presentation. I am looking forward to utilising all the knowledge and abilities that I have gained till now and wish to learn more about this discipline with most of my dedication. 


Thank You!
