The Yusuf H. Shirazi Complex at LUMS is taking shape on site, with construction advancing across its central structure. Each stage brings greater definition to the building’s form, revealing how the project is coming together within the campus. Currently under construction, the complex offers a glimpse into the process of translating a design vision into a built environment.

Pebble-dash textures, bamboo partitions, and the exposed staircase shape the character of the Descon cafeteria. From the dining areas to the recreational spaces above, each element contributes to the experience of the space.

The cafeteria extension explores connectivity as a way of rethinking a 40-year-old warehouse. Rather than treating the cafeteria as an isolated addition, the intervention brings together movement, natural light, and visual connections to shape a more integrated spatial experience.

The side entrance separates pedestrian access from vehicular movement, while the staircase establishes a visual relationship between the cafeteria and the recreational facilities above. The upper level extends beyond dining, accommodating recreational facilities such as table tennis and squash. Inside, the industrial kitchen is planned around the process of food preparation and serving, with pebble dash, stone, and wood defining the material palette.

Located at Oloololo Gate of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, the competition called for a conservation centre that raises awareness of the region’s ecosystem, celebrates Maasai heritage, and promotes responsible tourism through an engaging visitor experience.

In response, IAA drew from traditional Maasai settlement patterns to develop a mass-field system shaped by the site. Concentric rammed-earth walls, a winding ramp, and carefully positioned openings organise the visitor journey, while a lightweight truss roof complements the earthen structure.

The Maasai Mara Conservation Centre draws inspiration from the clustered morphology of traditional Maasai settlements, using their centralised arrangement as the foundation for its spatial organisation and massing.

A system of interlocking spaces creates opportunities for gathering and exploration, while concentric rammed-earth walls establish the building’s form. A winding ramp culminates at an elevated viewing platform, offering a closer connection to the landscape. Strategically placed apertures invite daylight and fresh air, while a lightweight truss supports the roof above.

Guided by critical regionalism, the project embraces Enkaji a home formed through the thoughtful use of local resources and respect for the land.

Shalamar Medical College brings together a complex academic programme within a limited urban site. Its disciplined organisation is balanced by open spaces and interactive areas, creating an engaging environment for students.

Natural light connects the interior spaces with the surrounding environment, bringing openness into the academic setting while reinforcing the building’s distinct identity.

Shalamar Medical College is shaped by the conditions of its site. Set within Lahore’s dense urban fabric, the limited footprint presented a challenge: accommodating the demands of medical education while maintaining a sense of openness.

The response lies in how the building engages with its immediate environment. Open spaces and natural light are brought into the academic setting, creating a stronger connection between the interior and exterior.

The building is angled outward, opening towards the surroundings to bring natural light and ventilation into the interior while strengthening its connection with the landscape.

Inside, double height breakout areas bring daylight deeper into the hostel, creating openness within the compact interior.

The sustainability approach combines passive design, renewable energy, and water conservation to reduce environmental impact. Increased thermal mass further helps maintain more stable interior temperatures.

The LUMS Girls’ Hostel rethinks leftover land as an opportunity for sustainable collective living: a high-density student residence shaped by the existing campus, its trees and climate.

Its three layer brick envelope, with air cavities between the layers, increases the building’s thermal mass.

Double height breakout areas bring daylight into the interior, while washed terrazzo provides a time-tested regional cladding solution.

The hostel accommodates 504 students, bringing high-density housing into the existing campus fabric.

An angular roofline brings a distinct character to the building, while its geometry opens the interior to natural light. Viewed from below, the roof becomes more than a functional element, shaping the spatial experience through form and light.
