I am an Architect from Pakistan. Pakistan have a lot of touristic places e.g: the only cold dessert in the world, highest peaks in the world and tremendous cultural diversity.
Pakistan was effected by three disasters terrorisim, floods and earthquakes in last one decade, so my focus is on traditional, cultural and varnacular architecture to bring tourism back to my country.

To be a member of this tremendous team to help and work together. 

Phenomenology of architecture, Philosophy

Hogr is founder and CEO of GoshaArch GoshaArch is involved in designing and realizing a diverse array of urban, cultural and commercial projects around the globe. GoshaArch is a collaboration of architects and designers that believe architecture is a practice of optimism. GoshaArch approach our projects with the attitude that to make great places, you must believe in the future, with respect of the past.

GoshaArch architecture emerges from the idea that a designs should be expressive and reflect contemporary life. Innovation is at the core of our design process. We believe that bold design must be realized with sustainable technology and we strongly believe that the art of architecture lies in creating a maximum impact within the constraints of budgets and functionality. We know from experience that great architecture comes from working with great clients; however, architecture is a public art and we hold ourselves accountable not only to the client, but to the communities, and cities in which we build.

ounded in 2014 by architects Matthieu Busana and Sébastien Dachy, MAMOUT explores a practice of architecture based on multidisciplinary and research-by-design. They develop projects of various scales and programs, mostly located in urban environment. They use physical paper models, graphic design and photography to explore themes like materiality, light and scenography.

I'm Mohammed Trabulsy, a Beirut Arab University graduate (Accredited by RIBA / Royal Institute of British Architects), and a practicing Architect since 2014.

Through the years of practicing architecture I have designed more than 200 projects, and I have been trying to create a certain identity for myself while respecting my surrounding urban fabric.
