I AM AN ADVOCATE FOR THE RIGHTS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES. THUS, I ALSO ADVOCATE FOR AN ACCESSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE BUILT ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERYONE.

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.

My special architectural focus would be on the residential projects, I can say that I run an Architectural Consultancy "Riaz Associates" in Pakistan for 30 years (1984 -2014), in the city of Lahore, one of the most populated city of the country and the capital of the biggest province 'Punjab'.

  My interest was on individual housing and the housing schemes projects. My focus was on to design custom homes for the particular clients according to their family requirements, budget with the environment of the location. My primary interest was on a practical, well lighted and a space full of comfort. I attended many juries in different universities in Pakistan.

  With my experience and interest in reading magazines, I started publishing an architectural and art magazine (quarterly) "Designers Style" in 2011 as publisher and editor in chief and it is running till today. It is one of the top 3 publications in the country and I am honoured that it has articles from around the world and is sent to many places outside the country. Because of my dual nationality I travelled a lot to many places especially Canada and I moved to Toronto in 2014. I am managing my magazine team from here and to learn more I got admission in Ryerson University, Chang School of Continuing Education in the subject of publishing in 2017.

   I moved to Calgary now in Nov.2019, to explore life and style of west of Canada and US.

To me, architecture is not merely an art of creating beautiful buildings. It is the context, both cultural and social, as well as social and environmental responsiveness that makes or breaks it.

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. 

My focus is on Sustainable Design & Architecture Transformation, we are transforming architecture through different periods, For example Technology Transformation, in Case of Building Design Transformation we are getting ideas from Past and implementing in Present and modifying for Future but the Question is we are following the sustainablity Principles or destroying the Future, Past was sustainable and we are trying for Faster, we need to be fast but to follow the past for fast sustainable development, we are living in Built Environment but need to protect our Natural environment from Hazards, future challenges are challenging us but we are safe because we have Past to make our Future Sustainable for bright tomorrow. 

In Sha Allah.
