Registered Architect — PCATP
Architecture graduate from UET Lahore, passionate about architectural history, theory and criticism. Using computational design to explore how buildings shape communities.
SMI
Expertise
Rather than rating tools out of five stars, here's what I've actually built and how long I've been building it.
5+ years
Photorealistic renders, real-time walkthroughs, and immersive AR/VR experiences. Working with 200+ Fiverr clients, maintaining a 5-star rating throughout.
4+ years
Building information modelling for design development and documentation. Experience with modular 3D-printed ADUs at Azure Printed Homes, Los Angeles.
3+ years
Parametric modelling, environmental simulation, and data-driven form finding using Grasshopper and its ecosystem of specialist plugins.
3+ years
Complex façade engineering and detailing. Coursework from TU Delft Faculty of Architecture, applied across commercial and residential projects.
3+ years
Conservation and preservation methodology for heritage sites. Architectural history, theory, and criticism as a foundation for design decisions.
2+ years
Graphic identity, presentation graphics, and design communication. Creating comprehensive design presentations and visual narratives for architectural projects globally.
Selected Work
Matrix of Spatial Bias
A modular architectural system representing the complexity of collective space — architecture as an immersive theater on the theory of the Emancipated Spectator. Grasshopper superimposition grids with volume maximizer/minimizer algorithms.
Biomimetic Geometries for Mars Colonization
35 Grasshopper-generated organic formulas guided by environmental factors. Mandelbulb and fractal geometry for Mars habitats, exploring 3D printing, modular systems, and origami deployable structures.
Concept as Guideline — Hospital without Concept
Exploring whether a building can be designed without a traditional concept. Spatial decisions emerge from pure functional logic, human-centred research, and systems theory applied to healthcare architecture.
Dystopian Reflection on the Modern World by Gamification
Fahrenheit 451 as dystopian base. Melvich suprematist modules form the master plan — drawn from Zaha Hadid's thesis — with VR Hub, voyeurism cinemas, and endless shopping mall as programme.
Form Finding from Music
Form exploration through biometrics, Mandelbulb geometry, and music as generative input. Algorithms evolve architectural form through a Darwinian selection process — sound frequencies translated into spatial mutations.
