I have served in this profession for over a decade as an academacician and have been working as a practicioner in field as well. I have always focused on how bringing nature close to the humans daily activities and spaces by making them part of it as nature has a magical answer for many problems from healing to calmness, from energy saving to mood bootness etc. I belief you can do wonders with it. 

Green Architecture is emerging now. My focus is on green and eco friendly design and development.

I'm interested on Landscape desig but I love creating in general

I am very interested in studying housing that addresses crucial issues, such as affordable living, sustainable design and flexible housing. 

My architectural focus is combining the fasade design with the whole concept of the object.

The esthetic of the object should follow the meaning of the object. This is my first and main focus. In the same time I belong to that group of architects who think that the culture should reflect the way we build our reality and , but more than that it is how we build in order to change our way of living. So in this case I am curious to see if the students which will participate would consider to create their works in my terms ( esthetics and culture).

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 

Housing buildings, modernism in architecture, funcionality vs. aesthetics in architecture, technical details, tradition in nowdays

Currently, I am involved in a wide range of architectural project types in Austria and Central Europe. The projects vary in scope, but our specialties lie in architectural management, consulting, design and construction document planning for mobility architecture (rail, bus, automobile, bike and pedestrian interchanges), especially the spaces of interface, which are of architectural significance.

As upcoming AIA Europe president I am excited to respresent an engaged group of international planning professionals with the common goal of promoting educational programs and conferences for practicing architects, emerging professionals, and students alike.

Legislation, Justice, Representation, Communication, Architecture & Related Arts.

My architectural focus is to find out the reality in design and as well as contextual progress. Also I am more closely focussed on working with different urban planners to develop more sustainable and economical projects.
