She is dynamic, energetic and totally committed to her projects. As someone who has followed her career for two decades, I have been highly impressed with her dedication to many causes that she has espoused but wasn’t aware of her meticulous attention to details until, earlier this month, when I saw her at work at the World Heritage Site, the necropolis in Makli, where under her stewardship The Heritage Foundation (THF) of Pakistan is involved in salvaging some tombs. THF had earlier documented as many as 400 tombs and isolated graves. That afternoon I saw Lari spending the better part of an hour examining the work that is being done by specially trained staff members. She looked intently at almost all the bricks that are being fixed back in the dilapidated wall of a 500-year-old tomb. Her unflinching dedication to her work is a trait she seems to have inherited from her father. Lari, who was just a toddler when her father was the Deputy Commissioner of Lahore at the time of Partition, recalls that he had dual responsibilities – to shield the Hindus and Sikhs in Lahore and at the same time to provide food and shelter to the Muslim refugees who had under dangerous circumstances managed to cross the newly created border. -

Gwadar has geostrategic significance as it lies on the conduit of three most commercially important regions of the world. The oil rich Middle East, Central Asia bestowed with natural resources, and South Asia having the potential for growth, for this century. Another Test or Another Trap Monday, April 01, 2013 The awarding of the multi-billion dollar contract for construction and operation of Gwadar Port to China Overseas Port Holding Company (COPHC), a state-run Chinese firm, in February this year, has added a new chapter in decades-long Sino-Pak partnership. The project is mutually beneficial for both countries in the region for it will not only give them a corridor for greater commercial activity but will also bring closer the Central Asian countries. It is also expected to earn them a great strategic leverage. The recent agreement is the part of a plan to open up an energy and trade corridor from the Gulf region, across Pakistan to western China. The transfer of project operations to China caught attention of the international media and triggered discourse on the economic and strategic shift that the presence of China tends to induce in one of the world's major maritime zones. Naturally, it raised concerns of major stakeholders in the Indian Ocean, particularly Pakistan's eastern neighbour, India, and the United States. -
Final Evaluation of One Room Shelter Program for the 2011 Floods
Evaluation of One Room Shelter Programme for the 2011 floods response in South Sindh, Pakistan Shelter Centre for IOM Mission in Pakistan December 2014 Shelter Centre team: Tom Corsellis Pete Sweetnam Consultant field survey team: Pervaiz Ahmad Sumera Izhar Farooq Khan Kanwal Rajput i. Acknowledgments An evaluation such as this is always a process which relies completely on the time, good will, honesty and candour of many people. Without such people, it would be impossible to develop a meaningful insight and reach conclusions and recommendations based upon fact and of value to the learning process. This has been especially true for evaluation. Our main thanks go to the beneficiaries from the villages that we visited in Sindh, who left their work and spent many hours with the evaluation team. We were also very grateful to our key informants and we would especially like to thank: Magnus Murray‐Wolfe from DFID, who made time to discuss the programme at length from a donor perspective; Hayley Gryc from Arup International Development, who shared their progress in a spirit of open collaboration; Yasmeen Lari and Mariyam Nizam of the Heritage Foundation, who offered an inspiring national context to the programme; along with Adnan Memon and Avais Memon from Management & Development Foundation, implementing partners of IOM. Everyone we had the pleasure of working with at the IOM Mission in Pakistan offered generous support, including the Chief of Mission, Enrico Ponziani, Brian Kelly, Steve Hutchinson and Deeba Pervez, along with Hasballah and Aamir Mukhtar, who put the process together and looked after the logistics. IOM staff redeployed from Indonesia to Myanmar, along with former IOM staff, all responded enthusiastically, indicating their commitment to the 2011 programme. -

Introduction to Yasmeen Lari (28 June 1942 - ) Helen Thomas
Introduction to Yasmeen Lari (28 June 1942 - ) Helen Thomas Yasmeen Lari was one of the first architects, and the first woman architect, to practice in the Republic of Pakistan. Her career has several facets to it, reflecting an increasing concern with the architectural chal- lenges internal to Pakistan. Trained as an architect in the UK, study- ing at Oxford Polytechnic, Dip. Arch. 1964 (now Fig. 1 Lari House, Karachi, 1973 Oxford Brookes University School of Architecture), she worked in Britain and Germany before return- ing to Pakistan in 1965 to set up her own practice in Karachi. Her first commissions came from family and connections, and were examples of the diasporic interpretation of Brutalism that spread across Latin America, South Central Asia and other parts of the world. Of her early houses, her own (1973) and one for Commodore Haz (1967) and Naser ud-deen Khan (1969) combined “the simplicity of vernacular dry-climate houses with a sophisticated interpreta- tion of European modernism” illustrating two key qualities of Lari’s architecture: “the development of an Fig. 2 Anguri Bagh Housing, Lahore, Pakistan, 1979 appropriate modern style and a major interest in the socio-cultural aspects of housing, using appropriate technologies and self-help methods.”1 Alongside a growing concern during the 1970s and 80s for the housing of the urban, and then rural poor, as evident in the Anguri Bagh Housing in Lahore (1979), which was built largely by unskilled labour, Lari also ran a thriving architectural prac- tice – Lari Associates – serving the corporate, state and military sector. Her most well-known build- ings of this period are the Taj Mahal Hotel (1981), the Finance and Trade Centre Building (1989), and the headquarters of the Pakistan State Oil Company Fig. -

How did the Indians resist, react, or adapt to the modernity introduced by the British? How did the British respond to their Indian context? Did the colonisers transplant western ideology and institutions without experiencing an exchange of ideas and practices in return? To deal with these questions, the study focuses on the architectural developments in Karachi during the British Raj (1858‐1947) and investigates how the reforms introduced by the Raj transformed and modernised the society and its architecture, particularly the colonial domestic architecture. -
