Jury

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.

Industrial and residential projects with a design appoach of  innovative, lively, and sustainable cities for people.

Art and design have always marveled me, for that reason I chose to study architecture where I discovered that there is more than just building a beautiful exterior or just thinking architecture as an investment. It is about creating spaces where art and design can be expressed in multiple ways and thought as one element combining the exterior and the interior. In addition, I am a strong believer in the ability and the impact of the architecture and research combined with design thinking for strengthening our societies and having a positive effect on the world Among other things, I am fascinated by lighting design, set designs and event design planning as well as my passion for photography. Therefore, I am planning to expand my knowledge in the scenography field that combines all these elements and gain more experience in it

I work as a teacher in the area of architecture history and a studio professor in the University of Architecture, Design and Urbanism (Udelar, Montevideo).

I am also a researcher at the Institute of Theory and Urbanism in the same University.

I direct a professional architecture office, along with two partners.

This is how my interests combine teaching with professional activity.

Ambitious Professional Architect thriving towards creating meaningful buildings and spaces that express and augment the environment and uplift the community, connecting people with nature.
