Experimental Architecture and Design. Sustainable, Regenerative, and Futuristic Architecture.

My bigest aim is to rethink the architectural tradition.

The idea of Kenneth Framptons critical regionalism is close to me.

Architects should give useful answers to the challenge of environmental changes.

Most common projects in my practice: Housing, Schools, Kindergardens, Nurseries, Visitor Centers, Office buldings, Conference Center, Castle restaurations,

Sustainable architecture and energy efficiency in buildings 

1. the human being is the cause of all the Earth problems, and at the same time, it is the solution to save it.
2. multi-tendency, multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity.
3. contemporary architecture: the creation of sustainable living spaces that meet human needs.
4. architectural heritage as a basis for architectural development.
   Heritage should not be an obstacle in the way of architectural creativity, but an element of inspiration and a lesson from the past.

Space

I have been leading the urban design studio at the Department of Architecture at COMSATS University Islamabad since 2014. The studio involves critical study, analysis and re-development of a local urban area in the light of urban design theories and urban models.

As part of this studio, we have been able to document, study, anaylse parts of Islamabad in terms of linkages, access, visual quality, urban morphology, social fabric, cultural context, ebvironmental scenarios, land use distribution, grid planning parameters and infrastructure. In coming years we are hoping to document all of Islamabad for archiving and record.

I have currently part of a research project to document and study the occurrence of informal businesses in street life in light of Islamabad. Though my attachment to the architecture design of buildings

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.
