Jury

my architectural focus is about a fonctional architecture , useual for the humain and respectibale for the enviroment .

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.

CEO of Roland Baldi architects

The architectural studio Roland Baldi is active in architecture and urban planning, but also covers the fields of interior and landscape architecture as well as design. The projects - for the most part following successfully entered competitions - span over a large variety of different architecture manifestations including industrial, commercial and residential buildings, urban planning, infrastructure, buildings for educational purposes and a variety of other studies up to furniture design. The architect’s office is working under the motto „simple but different“ and focuses its attention on sustainability. Many of the implemented projects have been awarded with national and international architecture awards and presented in reputable exhibitions (i.a. Biennale of Architecture São Paulo 2012, Biennale of Architecture Venice 2006, 2014 e 2018, „New Architecture in South Tyrol 2006-2012“, solo exhibition in the Prisma Gallery in Bolzano 2012, alpitecture meets biennale 2014, Premio Architettura Città di Oderzo , South Tyrol Architecture Award 2013, best architects award 2014, Iconic Award 2014 e 2016).

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. 

I am an architectural designer at BuildX Studio, a lecturer(TF) at the University of Nairobi and an Aspen 2020 fellow. I practice, teach and conduct research on architectural design innovation to bring sustainable economic, social and environmental development to Kenya and beyond.  Most recently I was the Kenyan lead researcher for the 2020 Guggenheim-NY exhibition with Rem Koolhaas, OMA, and the Harvard GSD.  

Nicolas Turchi is a designer currently working at Zaha Hadid Architects and a Digital Futures PhD scholar at Tongji University. Nicolas holds a Master in Architecture II from the Harvard Graduate School of Design and a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Bologna. He has worked for several firms including Eisenman Architects, Xefirotarch, Mario Cucinella Architects and 5+1AA. Nicolas is particularly interested in emergent technologies and how they affect the theoretical aspect of the discipline. Nicolas has also been studying the relationship between architecture and philosophy and graduated with a thesis on Time and Space in architecture, influenced by the thoughts of Henri Bergson and Edmund Husserl.

GG-LOOP BELIEVES THAT ARCHITECTURE, AS ANSWER TO A SPATIAL DEMAND, CANNOT BE MERELY FUNCTIONAL. EVERY SPACE NEEDS TO TELL A STORY.

As i belong from a region where only few people know the term 'Architecture'.I want to get exposure where people knows the worth of Architecture so that when the right time comes i should be able to deliver to my people and help them build there surroundings worth living in.

Interior design 

Founder of TA.R.I-Architects.

Planning & Design on Residential Single Unit to multi-storied building, Apartments & Housing.

Involved in some Urban Design Projects.

Few interiors projects including Bank,office have been successfully designed by me.

Аrchitectural projects, design, urban environment design

Originally I chose it because it's a very creative profession, plus the fact that you could have something that you've designed realised in real life. As time progressed, I began to be intrigued by how buildings could affect the way we live, our mood and behaviour.Structure is an arrangement and organization of interrelated elements in a material object or system, or the object or system so organized. ... Abstract structures include data structures in computer science and musical form.

“We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.”

An Architect is a social sciencetist and carries a great responsibility to the humanbeings and nature, being an architect i believe that designing in the present keeping the past in mind and foreseeing the future should be the main aim of any design project, Sustainability is the need of the day.
