Jury

Ar. Junaid Ahmed Khan - LEED AP ID+C - Int'l. Assoc. AIA

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 as the Prime Profession

I am a university instructor for 5 years and inspiring architecture students to bring out their best is my advocy.

My architectural focus would be in the academe but my passion is in the realm of construction management.

Also, I am a consistent member of the board for the United Architects of the Philippines. 

My bigest aim is to rethink the architectural tradition.

The idea of Kenneth Framptons critical regionalism is close to me.

Architects should give useful answers to the challenge of environmental changes.

Most common projects in my practice: Housing, Schools, Kindergardens, Nurseries, Visitor Centers, Office buldings, Conference Center, Castle restaurations,
