TOPIC 1: COMMUNITY FOR OLD AND SHOPPING MALL FOR ECONOMICAL SUPPORT OF THAT COMMUNITY:
PROPSED PROBLEM:
Family values were once very important in our society. Grandparents, parents or any elderly member was considered as a backbone of particular household. They were respected and loved but now times have changed. Growing inflation, economic disorder in the country, westernization and materialistic thinking has destroyed our precious relationships and values. Grandparents are now considered as burden on their families. In many of our eastern household these elderly people are either thrown out of the houses or forced to live a miserable life in their own houses, confined to their rooms.
Therefore I plan to design a community for these abandoned oldies so that they can spend their remaining life with dignity which is their right.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
The research will be done using
· Local and international case studies
· Thesis done this topic before
· Studies on behavior of elderly ….on their psychology...
· Studying the behavior of elderly around me…
INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT:
SITE
The site will be most probably in Lahore. Abandoning of the old is more common in large urban societies as compared to small cites and rural areas
FACILITIES
This community will comprise of:
· Residential space for the old
· Medical facilities
· Spaces of entertainment keeping in mind the psychology of the residents
· Library..etc
This is just an outline of what this community will have for its residents. A detailed study will be carried out to figure out the needs and desires of the elderly. Their psychology has to be studied in order to provide them all the facilities they deserve.
SHOPPING MALL
This community is not supported by government so all the funds and money has to be raised by the admin. In order to run this community a shopping mall is to be designed …open for public. Some percentage of the money earned through this shopping mall will be utilized in running this community, thus minimizing its dependency on funds.
The shopping mall will contain shops of all kind and areas of entertainment.
WHY I CHOSE THIS TOPIC:
The reason of choosing this topic is to treasure our elders as we used to do in past. To support them in their old age as they supported their children in their young ages and to let them live a life of dignity. To give them a home.
The elderly men and women sleeping on the footpaths of Lahore….with no homes to live in…leftovers to eat are the main reason I chose this project.
Due to all these reasons I am more interested in doing this project.
TOPIC 2: DESIGNERS HUB
Design and art industries are flourishing in our country. Every year many youngsters enter into the fields of fashion, interior design, product design, graphic design, jewelry design, furniture design etc...these designers and their outlets are scattered all over Pakistan..why not bring them all together….create a platform where all designers related to all fields of arts can work together….working in an artistic environment .When these industries are so connected why separating them.
A person has to wander around in markets to get all these designer’s services ….the solution to this problem is to give them a platform where they can find all design industries.
There are very few platforms for the young designers to display their work…designers hub will provide them this opportunity…
To bring all the labor related to these industries together…
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
The research will be done using
· Local and international case studies
· Thesis done this topic before
· Studying all these design industries briefly
INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT
A multistory building majorly having:
· Outlets of the designers
· Workshops for each designer
· Exhibition halls/ ramps etc
· Workshops of craftsmen/ all kind of labor related to industries
· Apartments for young designers
WHY I CHOSE THIS PROJECT
I chose this project in order to promote these industries
· Giving them a artistic environment to work in …take inspiration from each other…combining different arts and start thinking out of the box so that they can compete with the international world.
· Giving young designers a platform.
· Giving customers a platform where they can find all kind of design industries

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
