Application of technologies in the construction and design processes.

Interactive experiences.

I seek qualities integrating complexity and rationality and diversity and consistency in designs. I also appreciate computational / algorithmic design thinking with sophisticated techniques or insightful visions. 

L'architettura è una specie di oratoria della potenza per mezzo delle forme.
(Cit. F. Nietzsche)

Architecture turning the experience of having been as best as it can. 

Proper space planning, meaningful concepts, a design having a sense of place and environmentally pleasing, timelessness and uniqueness.

From 2013, he has worked as a Lecturer at Islamic Azad University & EYC. Also, as an Architect, he is working on a design process research which is called “Attribute-oriented Architecture”, which was examined on some of his professional projects, however, it should be mentioned that it’s an ultra-Architecture philosophical point of view.

As a faculty in the Department of Visual Studies, University of Karachi for the past 5 years, I intent in the visionary discourse which reflects towards a social discourse of exploring architecture to a different paradigm. Architecture should listen to the spirit of places, and the needs of not just the human spirit but other living spirits. To look into architecture as healing giving intent, to living spirits – to places, to people, and to the environment.
