Semester 1, 2nd Year Architecture Studio: Project 3

This project was to design a house for an architect-painter couple who were to reside in Lahore. There was a selection of three different site conditions on which the design was to take place:

Option A: 40'x20' (with the 40' side as the facing/s and 20' side blocked from both sides)

Option B: 20'x40' (with the 20' side as the facing/s and the 40' side blocked from both sides)

Option C: A parallelogram site at an angle of 30 degrees which was 20'x40' (with the 20' at an angle as the facing/s and the parallel 40' sides blocked from both sides)

The requirements were to make a living space, a sleeping space, work spaces and roof garden/s in a total constructed area which summed up to be more than 1,000 sq.ft by crafting a model at the 1/4th scale.

Project 1, Semester 5.
Tutor/s: Omar Hassan & Armaghan Ahmad.

This project was assigned in the begginning of the semester to re-evaluate design and drawing skills through the re-designing of residence by taking into consideration, the existing structure and how it could be altered in a more adept manner. An individual programme was set up by each student and the profession of the people already living there were altered according to the individual choice characters preferred by each student.

Project 2, Part 1: Analysis
Semester V,
Tutor/s: Omar Hassan & Armaghan Ahmad.

This project is based in the Walled City area of Lahore which is located around the bounds of the Badshahi Mosque.
There were groups of 4-5 students formed who were given specific sites in the area chosen for study whose master plan is to be developed by combining the individual plan traces taken by each group. Measurements and photographs were taken in the first round of the visit and during the course of the second visit, a plan on the 1/8th scale was developed which is to be also presented by a compostion of photographs taken and in elevation drawing too.
Photographs were also taken and used to be translated to produce drawings which portrayed the essence of what each student learnt from the Walled city.

Semester 1, 2nd Year Architecture Studio: Project 2

Project Title: Lifting the Veil; Seeing beyond Appearances

The project started with a selection of five final transformation drawings of size 4x4 from the previous exercise which consisted of abstract model making and their photography which were further transformed into these formatted drawings (which can be viewed in the album named 'Transformation')
The aim was to create an 'inhabitable space' and it was to be built upon the last exploration of observation, analysis and subsequent transformation by which it could serve to mediate between the sky and the earth.

There were four site conditions:
Option A Site on 60 degree slope
Option B Site on 30 degree slope
Option C Site on flat land
Option D Site on stepped land

By a series of study sketches, the selection of site condition was to be done and the space could evolve to be of any form, shape or dimension but was to remain in the given area parameters of 8,000 cubic feet.
