About 

I don’t tag myself to any colour, cast or religion as I am an architect. I learn from my time and surroundings and have much more to learn. I look forward to a society where boundaries don’t bound and suppress and are not pushing down on poor. I am an architect and my services are for everyone.

My Masters Thesis Project was Integration Program of Slums in Lahore

My Bachelor Thesis project was designing “Lahore Racing Club  through series of above mentioned questions, and for that undertook experiments regarding space fluidity, interactive spaces, connection between machine and man .

Our performances are mixture of dances, mime, skits & live music that trigger sensitivity towards human values.
SCOTCHNUTs' mission is to Build Awareness in Youth to live firmly through the non-tolerating phase we all have fallen into all together. Key is to re -explore our self and to bring a positive change around).
