PAKISTAN C00L LOOKING BUILDINGS HAVE THEIR OWN BEAUTY.........

KPT TOWER KARACHI

Advanced digital modelling and sustainable design practices have responded to ecological challenges, drastically reducing the building’s carbon footprint and harnessing the potential of natural resources. The development is designed to set an exemplary precedent in Pakistan for environmentally responsible architecture and construction standards though the use of low energy design principles and techniques to maximise the use of passive environmental control.
Designed for the Karachi Port Trust, the development will help satisfy an international and domestic demand for institutionally acceptable ‘British Council for Offices (BCO)’ standard space. It will also help satisfy a significant shortage of luxury hotel accommodation and aspirational residential property in a city with a population of over 17 million. The development will be the catalyst that creates the heart of a new Central Business District and help realise Karachi’s optimum commercial and lifestyle potential.

THE EIFFEL TOWER PARIS

The Eiffel Tower, symbol of innovative technique at the end of the 19th century, has maintained its universal image. 
Even if 6 million visitors climb the Tower each year, the number of those who have set eyes on the Tower but never foot coupled with those who know of the Tower but have never even caught a glimpse of the monument are far more numerous. 
Its simplified representation is but an inanimate object, an unchanging reference point. Yet, differing from many other structures built in the past, it is alive, ever changing and evolving.
