FIVE ARCHITECTS IN THE WORLD:

INTRODUCTION TO ARCHITECTURE:
Well before going to the topic first of all we shoukd know about basically what is architecture and what
purpose it has but before that few things we should know about that Everything that does not occur by
accident begins from an idea. A concept comes to our mind, and we want to realize it. The first idea
determines the general aim of the activity, for example: “I will build a house, in which I am going to
live” or “I will build a factory.” Infact, it is not even a way of thinking. It is only a verbal formulation
of our dreams. After this verbal formulation we take the next step, which is specifying and detailing the
main aim of our actions. And at this point we stop and reflect: “Yes, I am going to build a house or
factory, but how am I going to make it?” Each of us deals, to a greater or lesser extent, with creating
a new reality in its various aspects. However, only some of us learn how to create a space in a
professional way, because for this action both proper knowledge and a developed consciousness of
creation are necessary. That’s why the space is created by professional designers, including architects
Fig. 1 and the whole creative process of making decisions aimed at satisfying human needs we call
“design.” Simply, design is the art of making decisions and their logic is defended by the use of
proper arguments.

Fig. 1 The idea of constructing any object is always the first step towards meeting with a de-signer/architect.

We architects may design not only houses but also landscapes, apartments, clothes, cars, planes,
machines and tools, graphics, promotional campaigns, and even law. Thanks to design we know how to
build a plane that doesn’t crash during its first flight, a house that doesn’t collapse, and an apartment in
which we may live, how to design a poster that attracts people, how to plant trees that don’t obstruct
the view, and how to create an aesthetic space. Designing a space, in contrast to clothes, cars, planes,
machines and tools, graphics, promotional campaigns and law, we call architectural design.A student
must know these things that what is basically a desighn and Architectural desighn concepth by these
basic things we will be able to understand those Top Architects in the world whose mind was clear with
all these things.
TOP FIVE ARCHITECTS SPECIALTY WORK AND ACHIVEMENTS:
The role architecture plays in our everyday lives is astronomical. From the cool houses we marvel at on
Freshome’s pages to historical & iconic buildings that we recognize instantly, architecture surrounds us
daily. The architects behind these buildings and homes are what we love and the following 10 architects
have paved the way for ingenious design, cutting edge innovation and have become pioneers of our
built environment. Take a look at what we think are 10 of the greatest modern architects of our time

1) RICHARD ROGERS:

INTRODUCTION:
Richard George Rogers was born in Florence, Italy, on July 23, 1933, to British parents. He served in the
British Army (1951-1953) prior to attending the Architectural Association School (1953-1959) in London.
He received the Diploma of Architecture in 1959 and in 1960 married the architect Su Brumwell. The
following year he studied at the Yale University School of Architecture in New Haven, Connecticut on a
Fulbright scholarship, and received the Master of Architecture degree in 1962. As a person, Richard
Rogers has lead an incredible life, born in Italy, he trained at the AA (Architectural Association) and Yale
University leaving with an impressive amount of qualifications.Richard Rogers, his partner Norman
Foster and their wives Su Brumwell and Wendy Cheesman, set up an architectural practice called Team
4, although this partnership only lasted a 4 years, Richard continued to marry Su, and create a new
partnership with Renzo Piano when they then designed the first of many inspirational buildings, the
Pompidou Centre.Richard won various awards for many different buildings, even though he did have
some problems with the public about his buildings, he did go on to design another building, the Lloyd’s
building in London, which is much more popular today than it was when it was being built.Richard has
visited many different countries leaving his mark in many of them, including the United Kingdom, Spain,
France, Germany, New York and Japan. He has inspired many people with his buildings and his
determination. He has not being afraid of putting his ideas forward, and has been given both grief and
praise by the public. He is committed to ensuring that his buildings should be “people’s places”.
This Topic is written to acknowledge an architectural design icon, Richard Rogers. I will be looking at this
man’s life and his accomplishments. Richard Rogers is my design icon because his buildings are bold,
daring, eye-catching and of course, inspirational.In this topic we will also learn about his Speciality of
work and what achivements he had achived in his lifetime.

SPECIALITY OF WORK:
Richard Rogers is best known for such pioneering buildings as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the
headquarters for Lloyd’s of London, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and the
Millennium Dome in London. His practice Richard Rogers Partnership (RRP)—was founded in 1977 but
over time evolved and in 2007 the decision was made to rename the firm to Rogers Stirk Harbour +
Partners to reflect the vital contributions of Graham Stirk, designer of the iconic Leadenhall Building, and
Ivan Harbour, designer of the Stirling prize-winning West London Maggie’s Centre.Richard Rogers has
been participated in many more projects but here we will only talk about five most famous of his work
done on those projects which tell why he was so special for his work:

1) THE POMPIDOU CENTRE:

he Centre Pompidou was Richards first building created alongside Renzo Piano in 1977, the design of
which won the Prizker Prize in 2007 by basically creating the building inside out. This meant that all the
parts you would usually expect to see inside, like the stairs, air ducts, plumbing, cables, etc. were all on
the outside of the building creating massive indoor space, which is particularly useful as this particular
building was used as an art museum, in fact, it is the largest museum for modern art in Europe.

2) LlOYDS BUILDING:
Richard used the Pompidou center as an inspiration for his next building, the Lloyds building in London.
This was a massive project as the previous building was created in steel where as this one of
concrete.Once again the building was designed with its internal parts, outside, this even included glass
lifts which were the first of their kind in the UK, as well as the cables, stairs, pipes and even the toilets.
This, of course, left large open spaces on the inside.Once again the Lloyds building was brightly coloured
and brightly lit. The public at first feared this would make this building an ‘alien’ is actually “regarded as
one of the finest buildings on London since the 1980’s”

3) THE MILLENIUM DOME:

The millennium dome is another one of Richards’s creations. It is a very clever design with 12 towers or
‘arms’ extruding from the white canopy which support the roof of the structure. Stretching out a
massive 365m diameter, the Dome is the biggest one in the world. The design of the structure is also
clever as you will notice 365m in diameter, one meter for each day of the year, as well as one tower for
each month of the year. Although you would of never of realized until someone mentioned it, it’s still a
remarkable thing to have built in.
 .

4) THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS BUILDING:

In terms of considering the client’s brief for the site, the very nature of the Court’s business suggests
that its premises should be welcoming and humane while preserving an appropriate dignity. Protecting
and enhancing the quality of the site was another prime objective, while the economy of operations and
the creation of a ‘natural’ environment was equally important and that all of these had this building has
and is one of the awesome works by Richard Roger.
5) LONDON HEATHROW TERMINAL 5:
Terminal 5 was finally approved in 2001 after a 46 month public inquiry, the longest public inquiry in
British history. In 2002 work had finally started and was not completed until 2008. The new terminal
means that the airport can support a much higher passenger capacity. For the terminal to be built, two
rivers had to be diverted. Using artificial waterways to successfully divert the rivers allowed the £4.2
billion building to be built. Terminal 5 had to include a railway station and several other buildings as well
as a control tower; this really shows how big the project actually is.

ACHIVEMENTS:
If we talk about achivements of richard roger then they are many of them but in all of those Only Four
Were the Most Important lifetime awards of Richard Rogers:

1) In 2007 Rogers was made Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize – architecture's highest honour.

2) Rogers was awarded the RIBA Royal Gold Medal in 1985.

3) In 2006, the Richard Rogers Partnership was awarded the Stirling Prize for Terminal 4 of Barajas
Airport, and again in 2009 for Maggie's Centre in London.

4) In 1999,Richard Roger was awarded for the Thomas Jefferson Medal For Architecture.

And many more awards he has won but in this Assighment we will only discussed about the main ones.

CONCLUSION:
As you can see, Richard Rogers has lead a remarkable life, building many inspirational buildings such as
the Pompidou Centre, leaving his mark in many countries such as England, and many cities such as
Strasbourg, he has received many well deserved awards for his buildings and has even been knighted by
the queen.He has an incredible design eye, and is not afraid to go outside of the box, or in some cases,
the building, and even though some of his buildings have been criticized badly, in the end, they always
came out positive.The fact that Richard is still designing, and his designs still make the public gasp is
amazing, hopefully he will continue to build and design for as long as possible, and I’m sure that many
people will be inspired by his work and his life. All of these things, and many, many more, defiantly make
him a supreme choice of a design icon.In the last i would Quote his one saying:

"Architecture is too complex to be solved by any one person. Collaboration lies at the heart of all my
work."

2) FRENK GEHRY:

INTRODUCTION:
Frank was born on February 28, 1929, in Toronto, Canada, to Irwin and Thelma Goldberg. He
moved to Los Angeles as a teenager in 1947 and became a naturalised US citizen.He gained
interest in architecture from a very early age. He fancied creating imaginary homes with items
from his grandmother’s hardware store.Contrary to what some might think, he was uncertain
about his career, in the beginning. He drove a delivery truck in order to support himself for
various courses in Los Angeles City College.The first architecture course was taken by him on a
hunch. He then liked it, and an early chance encounter with renowned architect Raphael Soriano
strengthened his belief in the art.He won scholarships to pursue architecture at University of
Southern California. He graduated from here in the year 1954.As a full time job, he started
working for the Los Angeles firm Victor Gruen Associates. Though he was an intern here, his
work got interrupted by compulsory military service.For a short time, he was with the firm of
 Pereira and Luckman, as he became restless with Gruen Associates. However, he soon returned
to Gruen Associates, which successfully practiced the utilitarian method.

SPECIALITY OF WORK:
February 28 marks the 88th birthday of the highly esteemed architect Frank Gehry. Widely considered
the greatest living architect, his work has proved mightily influential on many designers throughout the
20th and 21st century. From his humble beginnings in Toronto, Canada, to becoming associated with the
controversial Los Angeles School of architecture, his unique buildings adorn skylines from California,
Bilbao and Hong Kong. His style arises from postmodernism, yet it is easy to see his far-ranging classical
knowledge persisting throughout his structures. Frank Gehry's buildings are both experimental and
transformative while still making sense within the context of their area. His bold designs have led to
Vanity Fair calling him "the most important architect of our age". But perhaps a better way to see why
Frank Gehry is such a legend is by looking at the buildings themselves. So without much further ado,
Sleek presents his Five best works.

1) GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM BILBAO:

Arguably the most famous building of the past 20 years, the Bilbao Guggenheim was a major event in
the history of contemporary architecture. The building went on to generate over $500 million dollars for
the local economy, and was even featured in the James Bond film .

2) WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL:

Blending in perfectly with the city of L.A., Gehry's design for the Walt Disney Concert Hall has aged
wonderfully. Sat atop Bunker Hill, it is a deeply democratic space, with no suites or gallery boxes. As The
La Times writes: "Ten years after its debut, it remains the city's greatest room." 
3) LOUIS VUITTON FOUNDATION:
An art museum and cultural centre, sponsored by Louis Vuitton, the building shows Gehry's
commitment to fluid design. The building's appearance, due to its many diverging planes of glass,
actually changes depending on the time of day. As he states, this was done "in order to give the
impression of something ephemeral and continually changing".

Many more desighns he had made but these were the top of hos fabulous work by Frenk Gehry.

ACHIVEMENTS:
1. In 1977, he was named for the Arnold W. Brunner Memorial prize. This was presented to him by
the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
 2. He was given the prestigious Pritzker Prize for Architecture in 1989. This is the most premium
accolade for him in this field

3. In the year 1999, he received a Gold Medal from the American Institute of Arts. It was given to
him specifically for his work in the US, though he is also known for awe-inspiring designs in
Europe and Asia.
4. This master architect was inducted into the European Academy of Sciences and Arts in 2003. In
the same year, he was also conferred the title Companion to the Order of Canada.

Many more achivements he had achived that it would take an hour to tell but in this we had
only talked about the main achivements and awards of him.In last i would like to quote one of
his saying,

"Talent is Liquified Trouble"

3) PHILIP JOHNSON:

INTRODUCTION:
Philip Cortelyou Johnson was born in Cleveland, Ohio on July 8, 1906. His father was an
attorney. He was one of the four children and the only son of his parents.He was descendent of
the Jansen family of New Amsterdam. One of his ancestors was the Huguenot Jacques
Cortelyou, who laid out the first town plan of New Amsterdam.He received his early education
from Hackley School, New York. He was a bright student in school, and in 1923, he was admitted
to Harvard University without an exam. At Harvard, he studied history and philosophy.Philip
Johnson’s maternal and paternal families were quite wealthy and hence he was destined to
 inherit an enormous amount of wealth. In 1924, his father handed down a high proportion of his
fortune. Philip's sisters got cash, while he acquired Alcoa stock. His inheritance helped him to
live a life of self-indulgence.At this time, he was exploring his sexuality and often took time off
from Harvard to discover Europe. It was during these trips that his interest in architecture began
to develop.

SPECIALITY OF WORK:
Philip Johnson is best known for being a skilled architect and critic who promoted the
international style of architecture and played a major role in defining postmodernist
architecture. The ‘Glass House’, also known as the ‘Johnson House’ is a 56x32 ft historic house
museum that was one of many of his projects, built on his estate.. It is an important project for
modern architecture and stands to show the brilliance and postmodern influence of
Johnson.Together with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Philip Johnson designed the internal aspects
of the ‘Seagram Building’, a skyscraper in Park Avenue. The building is a perfectly functional and
aesthetic masterpiece. He also designed ‘The Four Seasons’ and ‘Brasserie’ restaurants housed
in the building many more he had worked in major projects also like the lipstick
building,Seagram building etc.

1) THE GLASS HOUSE:

his was the first building that Philip Johnson designed. It was designed in 1941 while Philip Johnson was
still in Harvard Graduate School of Design. He submitted the house in his graduate thesis.

2) THE SEAGRAM BUILDING:

The Seagram Building, which is located in Manhattan, New York City, was designed by both Philip
Johnson and Mies van der Rohe. The 38 story building is sheathed in bronze and glass. The tower was
designed by Mies van der Rohe. Philip Johnson designed many of the interior spaces including the Four
Seasons Restaurant
3) THE LIPSTICK BUILDING:
The Lipstick building is located in midtown, Manhattan in New York City. The building gets its name from
its shape.  It also has a shade of red on its exterior which is made of steel and red granite. The building
has 34 floors and creates a sharp contrast from neighboring towers.
ACHIVEMENTS:

1. The AIA”(American Institute of Architects) awarded him the Gold Medal, in 1978. It is
the institute’s highest honor and was given to him in recognition of his body of work.
2. He was the recipient of the first ‘Pritzker Architecture Prize’ in 1979. It is often
referred to as the Nobel Prize of architecture.
3. The University of Houston conferred on him an honorary doctoral degree in 1987.

4) ANTONI GAUDI:

INTRODUCTION:
Antoni Gaudí was born on 25 June 1852, in Baix Camp, a comarca located in the province of Tarragona,
Catalonia. While his identification papers give Reus as his birthplace, he himself had said that he was
born in Riudoms, a neighboring village, where the Gaudi family had their summer home.His father,
Francesc Gaudí i Serra, a coppersmith from Riudoms, was involved with the boiler making industry. His
mother, Antònia Cornet i Bertran, was the daughter of a coppersmith from Reus. The couple lived
mostly in Reus.Antoni Gaudí was born the youngest of his parents’ five children. However, only two of
his siblings, a sister named Rosa and a brother named Francesc, reached adulthood. Two others, a sister
called Maria and another brother called Francesc died in infancy.On 26 June 1852, Antoni was baptized
in the church of Sant Pere Apòstol in Reus. As a child, he suffered from rheumatic problems, because of
which he often found walking a painful experience and was forced to travel either on donkeys or stay at
home, missing his classes.

SPECIALITY OF WORK:
Antoni Gaudi is best known for his work on 'Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família'. He worked
on the project from 1883 till his death in 1926, often soliciting donations to complete the project. In
1984, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Other than ‘de la Sagrada Família', six of his
other works have also been included under the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. They are ‘Casa Vicens’,
‘Palau Guell’, ‘Park Guell’, ‘Casa Batllo’, ‘Casa Mila’, and ‘Church of Colonia Guell’ .Gaudí's work is
normally classed as modernista, and it belongs to this movement because of its eagerness to
renovate without breaking with tradition, its quest for modernity, the ornamental sense applied to
works, and the multidisciplinary character of its undertakings, where craftsmanship plays a central
role.

1) THE SAGRADA FAMILIA:

he most famous of all Gaudi’s works has been under construction since 1882. The famed architect took
over the construction of the Sagrada Familia (Spanish for “Holy Family”) one year later but he didn’t live
to see his masterpiece completed. In fact, less than one third of the church was completed by the time
of his death in 1926. It is scheduled to be finally completed on the 100th anniversary of the architect’s
death in 2026. In 2005, the Sagrada Familia was declared a World Heritage Site.

2) CASA BATLLÓ:
Also referred to as the “House of Bones” (Catalan: Casa dels ossos), Casa Batllo wasn’t actually built by
the celebrated architect. However, it was Gaudi who made it one of the most famous building in
Barcelona. In 1904, he was hired by Joseph Batllo to redesign his home and make it stand out. In 1906,
Gaudi completed what became one of his most spectacular works, while Mr. Batllo got exactly what he
wanted - an eye catching building in at the time very trendy and prestigious part of Barcelona. In 2005,
Casa Batllo became a part of the extended UNESCO World Heritage Site of “Works of Antoni Gaudi”
3) PARK GÜELL:
Created between 1900 and 1914 for Catalan businessman Eusebi Güell, the Park Güell is one of the most
famous and beautiful public parks in the world even though it was never completed. It was conceived as
a part of a housing development in Barcelona which, however, was a failure. The site which features
original Gaudi’s sculptures, mosaics and various structures - all blending in perfectly with the natural
surroundings - was eventually acquired by the city of Barcelona and opened to the public. In 1984, it was
recognized as a World Heritage Site.

ACHIVEMENTS:
In 1900, Gaudi received an award for the best building of the year from the Barcelona City Council for his
‘Casa Calvet’.
5) NORMAN FOSTER:

INTRODUCTION:
Norman Foster was born on June 1, 1935, in Reddish, England. An only child with an avowed interest in
structures and design, he grew up in a working-class neighborhood and left school at the age of 16 to
work as a town hall clerk, later going on to work in engineering as part of the Royal Air Force for two
years. He went on to study architecture at the University of Manchester and won accolades for his
drawing work, developing a lifelong passion for sketching. He later earned a scholarship to Yale
University’s School of Architecture, earning his master’s in 1962 .

SPECIALITY OF WORK:
 Norman Robert Foster often referred to as the ‘hero of high-tech’ is one of the most
distinguished British architects. Foster is the founder and chairman of the British international
company for architecture and integrated design, the ‘Foster + Partners’, well-known for its high-
tech designs. The company’s project offices are spread around twenty nations with a wide array
of works encompassing public infrastructures, civic buildings, urban master plans, offices,
product designs and private residences. The company has cemented its position internationally
with the body of work it successfully executed over the last four decades. Many amazing work of
Norman Foster Sir includes The full height glass façade building of ‘Willis Faber and Dumas
Headquarters’ in Ipswich, UK that has open plan office floors (an aspect that was still new at that
time), roof gardens, gymnasium and swimming pool not only uplifted the design of the site but
also increased the quality of life of the employees. It is presently listed as a ‘Grade II
building'.‘Hong Kong International Airport’ (1992–1998) in Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong, world’s
largest airport, which was opened on July 6, 1998, remains his major career achievement. The
colossal terminal is of eight storeys with a lightweight steel roof of forty-five acres and a glass
enclosed space of six million square feet. It is so huge that it can be seen from space.Foster
 along with Michel Virlogeux designed ‘Millau Viaduct’, the world’s tallest bridge situated near
Millau in Southern France, which was opened on December 16, 2004.

1) CITIC BANK HEADQUARTERS:

Foster’s challenge in this charismatic project was to build a structure that harmonized with the
environment and that in turn reflected its own essence and identity. In that sense, he managed to build
a masterpiece that is inspired by the allegorical vessel “dou or ding”; whose singular geometric
representation is a V-shaped base which translates into a successive internal fold that produces a
supremely sumptuous and attractive sovereign bronze lattice effect.

2)  SWISS TOWER RE:

This imposing 180 meter high skyscraper in the shape of a gherkin “The Gherkin”, emerges with 40
floors each designed with 6 ventilation ducts, allowing maximum use of light and natural ventilation, in
turn, translates into reduction of expenses for lighting concept up to 50% which is quite significant,
because it managed to combine energy savings added to a design that offers a kind of internal
microclimate adaptable to summer and winter.
3) HEARST TOWER:
Awarded by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) to futuristic structures with
conservationist nuance, it is a triangular building that stands on an old building, this gives the feeling of a
small town square, allowing access to all areas of the building. It has 44 floors, each with offices, rooms
for parties and special events.
4) CITY HALL:
Famous works of Norman Foster is the  The City Council is inspired by the Reichstag in Berlin. Located
south of the Thames, it represents an architectural work of high technological value due to its
transformed spherical design, which changes the traditional perspective of main exits and entrances,
thus reducing the maximum energy consumption. It has underground pumping systems, which creates a
natural cooling climate in the offices, apart from that, it has a set of passive and active retractable
devices that provide shade and natural ventilation.

5) ZAYED NATIONAL MUSEUM:

At the request of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the artist takes on a project in which he combines
the love of nature, the preservation of cultural heritage and high efficiency in a contemporary museum
ideal adorned with extensive gardening, luxury cafes, shops and various auditoriums that take
advantage of the environmental conditions of the area as it lies under an artificial surface lined
internally with chimneys, vents, galleries and five thermal energy towers to generate fresh and cold air.
ACHIVEMENTS:
Dubbed as the ‘hero of high-tech’, Norman Foster (born 1935) is distinguished as one of the world’s
greatest architects, specializing in modernized redesign of classic buildings and sleek, streamlined
structures. He is also the founder and chairman of the British international firm for architecture and
integrated design, known to all as Foster + Partners. For more information on his career and recognized
works.If we talk about his achievements then that would take days to tell because NORMAN FOSTER
HAS ALREADY BAGGED 400 AWARDS,YES its 400 so in this we will only talk about few of the most
highest awards he achived as follows:

1) One of them is the Pritzker Architecture Prize (1999), which is basically referred to as the Nobel
Prize of architecture.
2) He also received the Royal Gold Medal for Achitecture (1983)
3) the Gold Medal of the French Academy of Architecture (1991)
4) The AIA Gold Medal (1994).
5) The Prince of Asturias Award (2009) under arts section.
6) The Stirling Price Award(1998)
7) The Mies Van Der Rohe Award(1990)
2)TO FIND THE SPECIALLTY WORK AND ACHIVEMENTS OF TOP FIVE
ARCHITECTS OF PAKISTAN:

1) HABIB FIDA ALI:

INTRODUCTION:
Habib Fida Ali, 81, born in 1935 in Karachi and he always was recognised worldwide for his contributions
to the field of modern minimalist architecture. Fida Ali was known and embraced as Pakistan's very own
Mies Van Der Rohe for several years by claiming the same phrase 'less is more'- to the guiding principle
of his work. Fida Ali was the first Pakistani student to be admitted to the Architectural Association
School of Architecture (AA), London, UK, from where he graduated in 1962. Prior to his own practice,
Fida Ali returned to Pakistan in 1963 to work with William Perry in Karachi. The architect was always
trying to understand his clients better and what kind of a house they really want, so the architect was
spending his own time by only living with them. Even, some of his colleagues said that ''he lived for a
month with GM Adamjee before designing the family house in Karachi.''

SPECIALITY OF WORK:
Fida Ali’s work ranges from private houses to public buildings and recreational centres. His extensive
portfolio inspired Hasan-ud-Din Khan to capture his creations in the book The Architecture of Habib Fida,
which was published in 2010. He designed and constructed corporate buildings, majestic mosques,
beautiful interiors and was also the mastermind behind the conservation and renovation of the Mohatta
Palace. The most noted of Fida Ali’s work has been LUMS (Lahore University of Management Sciences).
Murlidhar Dawani describes it as, “a blend of western technology and local traditions and materials”. He
also collaborated on the design and construction of the Jumeirah Beach residence in Dubai.

1) LUMS:
The red bricked beautiful building that produces graduates year after year, stands tall not only because
of the recognition it has gained in excelling academics but also because of its architecture.
2) JUMEIRAH BEACH RESIDENCE:

 Apart from beautifying Pakistan, Fida Ali also collaborated with Dubai Properties to construct the
Jumeirah Beach Residence.

3) KARACHI CLUB:
The scenic view of the building, which is an extension of the original building, adds to the beauty of the
metropolis.
ACHIVEMENTS:
1. Nominated for the Aga Khan Award for Architecture 1986.
2. In 2002,He was awarded Lux Style award for best architect.
3. His work was recognized by Institute of Architects Pakistan (IAP) who honored him with the
lifetime achievement award.
4. In 2017,He was awarded with the hightest award Sitara-i-Imtiaz of pakistan.

2) YASMEEN LARI:
INTRODUCTION:
Yasmeen Lari born in 1941 is Pakistan's first female architect. She is best known for her involvement in
the intersection of architecture and social justice. Yasmeen Lari was born in the town of Dera Ghazi
Khan and spent her early years in and around Lahore in a renowned clan of Iraqi Biradari. Her father
Zafarul Ahsan, an ICS officer, was working on major development projects in Lahore and other cities,
through which Lari was exposed to architecture. Her sister is Pakistani politician Nasreen Jalil. When she
was 15 years old, she first left Pakistan to go to London with her family. [2] Initially there for a vacation,
she and her siblings ended up enrolling in school in London. [2] Upon her rejection from architecture
school, Yasmeen Lari studied two years of arts in London before being accepted into the Oxford Brookes
University School of Architecture. After graduating from the Oxford School of Architecture in 1964, Lari
returned to Pakistan at 23 with her husband, Suhail Zaheer Lari, and opened her architecture firm Lari
Associates in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.[2] She became the first female architect in Pakistan. Initially, she
faced difficulties when workers at construction sites challenged her authority or knowledge because of
her gender.

SPECIALITY OF WORK:

In 1969, Lari became an elected Member of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Her later
projects included housing, such as the Angoori Bagh Housing (ABH) (1978), and commercial buildings,
such as the Taj Mahal Hotel in 1981, the Finance and Trade Center in 1989, and the Pakistan State Oil
House (PSO Company headquarters) in Karachi in 1991.Lari retired in 2000 from architectural
practice. However, she remains active with her historical preservation by serving as the advisor of
the UNESCO project, as the executive director of Heritage Foundation Pakistan, and as the chairperson
of the Karavan Initiatives. Between 2010 and 2014, among other projects Lari had built over 36,000
houses for those affected by Pakistan's floods and earthquakes. Lari implements traditional building
techniques and local materials in rebuilding the Sindh Valley region of Pakistan.

3) NAYYAR ALI DADA:

INTRODUCTION:
Nayyar Ali Dada was born on 11 November 1943 in Delhi, British India. His family migrated to Lahore,
Pakistan in the 1950s. After finishing his basic education at the University of Punjab, Lahore in 1957, he
enrolled in the National College of Arts (NCA), Lahore as a student. In 1964, he graduated from NCA but
chose to remain attached with it by working there as a teacher. The principal of NCA Shakir Ali and Dada
became friends. and the two became close friends. As a token of friendship, Nayyar designed Shakir Ali's
house in Garden Town, Lahore (now the Shakir Ali Museum).

SPECIALITY OF WORK:
Dada has always been a modernist at heart though his style has evolved from that to a regional
modernist with a strong sense of the context and an endeavour to discover the identity of Pakistani
Architecture through his designs. Starting his career with mainly residential projects, it was not until the
Rivaz Garden Flats, a project of low cost apartment blocks that Dada started experimenting with brick,
which would later become a trademark in his buildings Two of his most memorable works early on in his
career were a gift to his alma mater –the new Studio Block (which now houses the Fine Arts
Department) and the Shakir Ali Auditorium at the National College of Arts. The brutalist Auditorium with
its grand concrete staircase embodies a distinct plastic quality which makes it blend-in amongst its
neighbouring colonial buildings yet stand on its own making it one of the most defining spaces on the
campus. By the late 70s, Nayyar Ali Dada had made a prominent name for himself but it was a project
that he secured from the Lahore Arts Council which would eventually put him on the world map.
