A great building must begin with the immeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed, and in the end must be unmeasured. Louis Kahn

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.

As an architect, my main focus is to achieve the function needed for the building and to create the convenient environment for the users to fulfill their needs. As to achieve this, my design always follows the project's concept and the general rule that says "Form Follows Function'. Starting from the least important detail in the project, to the master function, gives the project their identity and uniformity.

• Urban architecture 
• Adaptive reuse of buildings and material. 
• Housing and residential architecture
• Social and community based architecture

I AM CHAIRMAN ELECT FOR ARCASIA COMMITTE ON GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE AND MY MAIN FOCUS IS ON GREEN ARCHITECTURE

I am interested in the field of new and optimum structural configurations and climate-sensitive building and their influences on architecture.
