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.

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.

architecture of place, architecture of context,

architecture of absence as creating architecture invisible / little visible in space (emptiness in architecture)

From the republic democratic of Congo practising in south Africa. 

My architectural philosophy consists of finding the right balance between being innovative,responsive, financially and enviromentally aware, in order to make good architecture accessible to all.

My Design process consist of 3 things:

1. Understanding the context 
2. Responding to the user needs
3. Exploring new ways of resolving issues from the first two points

I believe Architecture should be pushing its boundaries and that each building should not just be a functional structure but a unique answer to a social, a contextual or even an economical problem.
