ARCHITECTURE IN THE WORDS OF ARCHITECTS • On the difference between the ideals of "architecture" and mere "construction", the renowned 20th C. architect Le Corbusier wrote: "You employ stone, wood, and concrete, and with these materials you build houses and palaces: that is construction. Ingenuity is at work. But suddenly you touch my heart, you do me good. I am happy and I

Cont… • Victor Hugo a French Novelist wrote about architecture, “Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book.”

BRITISH COLONIAL

BRITISH COLONIAL • The mid nineteen century saw the start of another short but architecturally significant period • British were going to built colleges, hospitals, post offices, museums, court houses, assembly halls, city halls, libraries, country clubs, parks, stadiums, cantonments and residential bungalows, railway stations and yes architecturally

Cont… • In one century of British rule hundreds and hundreds of new significant public structures were commissioned throughout the country • This was a period of not only European and English architecture but also of unique hybrids created by fusing the elements of English with the local Islamic architecture

ARCHITECTURE PIRACING

ARCHITECTURE PIRACING • The illegal or unethical copying or use of another’s writing, music, ideas or the like is called “Piracing”. • The illegal or unethical copying of another’s ideas about architecture or design of any building, construction projects or like that is called “Architecture Piracing”

REASONS OF ARCHITECTURE PIRACING IN PAKISTAN

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF ARCHITECTS • No belief on personal skills • No renown institution in Pakistan which depicts our culture • No world famous personality or icon in the field of architecture

CLIENT SATISFACTION • Lack of options for client • Use of 3d max, AutoCAD, etc. to satisfy client • Due to client satisfaction architects does not try to introduce some thing new or exceptional

LACK OF INNOVATIONS • No advancement in the methodology of the work • Copying the ideas of other and try to implement in our country without considering the serviceability of building • No masterpiece by Pakistani architect since the independence of country even mizar-e-Quaid was

ECONOMY FACTOR • In Pakistan 58% people lives their life below the poverty graph while in western countries conditions are totally change. • Client always want a good piece of work in reasonable cost and always try to avoid the new experimentation.

TREND IN PAKISTAN • We can’t blame just architects for piracing but a client is also responsible for it to some extent. • Client usually want resembled work and this trend in Pakistan discourages the architects to produce new ideas

WHY SHOULD ARCHITECTURE PIRACING BE STOPPED

RELIGION • Religion also contributes a lot to the type of building your architect will design for you • The western world is far more liberal and most of them are of no religious linings • As a Muslim we also have to look for our religious values

SOCIAL VALUES • If we compare the two worlds side by side and see a wide difference in their living styles • We might say western way of life is better, but if you take a second look you will notice that in Pakistan the way of living is totally changed due to our social values

SECURITY • If you look at some houses in Europe, they have very low walls or no walls at all, but in Pakistan you see high fences, burglary proof and some architect will even go the extra mile to provide escape routes for you when they are designing your building.

TECHNOLOGY GAP • The big gap in technology also makes a lot of difference in the two world’s designs • The western architecture is backed up by up to date technologies that they may practically not need to work too hard to get the building done

COST • Cost is also an influencing factor for the designing • It is far more expensive to build a good house in Pakistan to the ones you have in Europe

ECONOMY • The economy of common man in Pakistan does not give rooms for too much of luxuries; Pakistan is developing country so unnecessary rooms that are in vogue in western world are practically non-existent here

CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIO NS

CONCLUSIONS • Muslim architecture is influenced by the British architecture and if we still can’t open our eyes Muslim architecture may diminishes • It not only, bounds architect's ideas, approach or perception but also paralyses his self ability • Architectural work in Pakistan is stagnant as no new innovations are introduced, it is following the old methodology in designing which is

Cont… • Lack of knowledge, low investment and demand for an excellent design of a client persuade an architect to show least interest in his field • An architect hesitate to experience new ideas

RECOMMENDATIONS • We need to implement our own ideas that suit our culture and environmental conditions • The new institutions and schools must be opened where students can learn about their culture and polish there architectural skills from the grass root level • The architects must posses belief in their ability and skills
