Research

Traditional Architecture with Improved Techniques
Thesis Project | 10/01/11

This research focuses on creating sustainable and comfortable living conditions in the hot and arid climate of Turbat, Balochistan, Pakistan. It emphasizes thermal control inspired by traditional architecture, aiming to establish a harmonious relationship between the built environment and nature. The study seeks to provide functional shelter while enhancing the connection to the surrounding environment. Improved construction techniques are incorporated to support sustainability and ensure adaptability to modern needs.

Overview

My future goals are centered around advancing sustainable architecture and further integrating traditional construction techniques with modern innovation. I aim to explore and develop building solutions that enhance thermal comfort and environmental harmony, particularly in arid climates. I plan to continue researching sustainable materials and techniques, with a focus on improving their practicality and adaptability to modern needs.

Additionally, I aspire to take on larger, more impactful projects that push the boundaries of sustainability, collaborating with like-minded professionals to create designs that contribute positively to the environment and communities. Ultimately, my goal is to contribute to the evolution of architecture by delivering innovative, eco-friendly solutions that blend functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability.
