PROPOSAL 1:
TITLE: URBAN FARMS (FARMTECTURE)
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
To meet the challenges of less available cultivated land around large cities and expected food shortage and increase in prices in near future, also to use urban food cultivation as an architectural experience.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
Ø Literature review.
Ø Interviews of related persons.
Ø Interviews of Architects.
Ø Case studies.
PROJECT BRIEF:
In this project we are using new cultivation method as an architectural design language not only to support human population with their most essential need “food”, but also as an architectural and a recreational landscape experience.
Over the last decade we have came to realization that we live in a planet with limited resources. Like fossil fuel, food would be short in supply and this will lead us to higher prices. Prime objective to deal with that issue is that our food output is not in proportion to our population increase. Reason for it is environmental degeneration and climate change.
Proponents say that vertical farming can help solve the impending world food shortage. By 2050, the UN predicts that the global population will surpass 9 billion people. Given current agricultural productivity rates, the Vertical Farm Project estimates that an agricultural area equal in size to roughly half of South America will be needed to feed this larger population.
This is where the concept of urban farming, cultivating food inside city comes in. it give us the possibility to produce our vegetables in a more effective, healthier and clean way.
The designs principle intent is to explore production and consumption of food within the confine of an urban vertical setting thus eliminating transport. Processing and distribution takes place on premises allowing residences to be immersed in the production of the food they consume. Excess food is sold in retail spaces for the city.
This project also as a Vertical Landscape will create an exchange between rigid urban grids of highly populated city and will add a “soft” landscape through a series of vertical experiences.
Placing this in urban landscapes also reduces the green house emissions that would normally be needed to transport produce from rural farms to city centers. Would be topped with wind turbines as well, to create an energy sustainable landmark that is economically, socially, and agriculturally productive.
SITE:
The site would preferably be located at Karachi, along the sea line there is provisions of high-rise and multipurpose building construction.
FACILITIES
Ø Farm land
Ø Recreational parks
SCOPE OF WORK (OBJECTVES):
Ø Maximize returns
Ø Produce food
Ø Minimize transportation, storage, and energy waste
Ø Integrate natural systems
Ø Use limited area of land
Ø Reduce energy consumption
Ø Share and distribute excess to make use of technology.
PROPOSAL 2:
TITLE: BEACH RESORT KARACHI
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
A multipurpose tourist resort that would serve as the hot spot for the tourists and will give a new meaning to Luxury itself. These types of places are required as Futuristic modern developments are taking place rapidly around the globe.
To explore and enjoy the water world and to make Karachi a place of local as well as foreign point of attraction.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
Ø Literature review.
Ø Questionnaire.
Ø Interviews of related persons.
Ø Interviews of Architects.
Ø Case studies.
PROJECT BRIEF:
Man always wants to explore the beauty of nature. These resorts would be an exotic appeal, to explore and enjoy the beach and water world. Second important point is to make the Karachi tourist attraction.
The resort offers a five star hotel, bungalows to guests which range from cozy classic simple wooden huts right up to spacious family-sized units, providing facilities like beach-front restaurants with excellent seafood and western cuisines, boating facilities, swimming pools, super markets, pool bars, renting services etc. The resort would also offer fishing and sailing opportunities.

Ø Bungalows
Ø A small sized aqua marine museum
Ø Recreational areas
Ø Expanded onsite dining (Restaurants) with beautiful views
Ø Health club
Ø A business center
CRITERIA OF SELECTION:
Ø To provide international level recreational facilities at home.

Ø To raise the image of the country.
PROPOSAL 3:
TITLE: PRISON CUM REHABILITATION CENTRE
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
To take a radically different approach to rehabilitation. Instead of making criminals harder, angrier and more likely to commit future crimes, this design structure would provide a shiny, happy place to rethink the errors of one’s ways.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
Ø Literature review.
Ø Interviews of related persons.
Ø Interviews of Architects.
Ø Case studies.
PROJECT BRIEF:
This project mainly concerns about the prisoners falling in Category A (prisoners are those whose escape would be highly dangerous to the public or national security). Who are psychologically retarded or brain washed by the terrorist groups, and also provides them a safe place where every type attack can be repelled made by the terrorist or militant groups. This will of course increases the security concerns about it. This security pressure can be catered by using some security tactics both architectural and electrical. That type of project will lessen the burden of security on other jails.
SITE:
The site would preferably be located at Karachi or Lahore.
FACILITIES
Ø A segregation unit (also called a 'block' or 'isolation cell'), used to separate unruly,
Ø A section of safe cells, used to keep prisoners under constant visual observation, for example when considered at risk of suicide
Ø A death row in some prisons, a section for criminals awaiting execution
Ø A staff accommodation area, where staff and prison officers live in the prison, typical of historical prisons
Ø Industrial or agricultural plants operated with convict labour
Ø A recreational area containing items such as a TV and pool table
SCOPE OF WORK (OBJECTVES):
Ø Provide better facilities to the prisoners in Pakistan too.
Ø To design a building that will deals all aspects of security failure.
OTHER TOPICS CONSIDERATIONS:
1. HIGHRISE APPARTMENT COMPLEX:
The idea is to provide an honorable living by wasting less space and accommodating more families in a single unit space by designing a luxurious apartment complex using the concept of multipurpose spaces design specially the flexible interior’s options.
The complex has the different types of housing unit. Recommended Design would be energy efficient, self sustainable, so that energy crisis may also be addressed.
The site for this project is at Karachi along the coast line where this is need have the time to build such apartments. Another edge of the beach construction would be the greater opportunities extraction from the sea and sand to produce its own energy
2. USES OF SPACES UNDER FLYOVERS:
3. WATER SCRAPER (WATER URBANISM):
4. SUSTAINBLE FUTURE CITY:
3. BIOCLIMATIC TOWER:
