Ar. Junaid Ahmed Khan - LEED AP ID+C - Int'l. Assoc. AIA

My Architectural Design focus mainly tends towards two major areas;

1. Research and practice in computational and parametric design. I'm currently experimenting and research in the most advanced parametric design tools while aiming to integrate these tools with important architectural design aspects such as shape and topology optimization, environmental and structural analysis. 

2. Advanced Sustainable Design, for this reason I've been accredited as Pakistan's first LEED AP in Interior Design + Construction. My focus in this area is majorly on the latest construction technology and source material reduction in buildings.

I'm an Architect graduated from the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at Universidad Central de Venezuela and a Master degree in "Architecture de Milieux" at the Ecole Spéciale d’architecture of Paris with more of 14 years of experience, currently based in Paris and Caracas, Venezuela.
My work is focus on all scales of architecture's programs, going from concert halls, cultural centers, educational and housing to art collaborations and collective installations. I believe in producing our own architectural projects, proposing and developing it throughout collective thinking and leadership.

Right now i'm developping somre projects on a rural scale responding to the subject of my academic research.

I complement my practice teaching at the Universidad Central de Venezuela and at this moment at the Ecole Special d'Architecture in Paris. I've been invited to as professor and international jury at the Universidad Simon Bolivar, FIU of Miami and PCUP in Lima, Peru. I focus my research on rethinking the "habitat" and working on projects that allowed the students to think the project in articulated scales.

GG-LOOP BELIEVES THAT ARCHITECTURE, AS ANSWER TO A SPATIAL DEMAND, CANNOT BE MERELY FUNCTIONAL. EVERY SPACE NEEDS TO TELL A STORY.

Teaching Architectural Design and Architectural Theory 

I am a multiqualified Architect in various field of Architecture, training, alternative dispute resolution, social masterplanning , asset & events management, Social media content designer and many more.  

My Architectural focus is in Sustainable Development not limited to only Architecture, but how the build environment we design can push boudaries towards empowerment of people through the creation of circular economy, social integration and collaboration, and enviromental health to combat climate change.

Architect of the future now needs to look beyond and behave as not only Architectural designer, but the leaders of the design world imbedding holistic knowledge of environmental design, social science, business development , technology adaptation and becoming globalise in the world and outerspace.

Climate change needs actions; otherwise, the next generations will suffer. As architects, we should try to reach zero carbon in the built environment to create a better future for coming generations on mother earth.
