Hybrid indoor sports complex
(UMT, Lahore, 2025) AHMAD ALTAF
Sports are an essential part of our lives and are globally recognized. Without sports, life lacks vitality. Pakistan is a country where sports are played extensively, but unfortunately, the infrastructure for them is lacking. My aim with this project is to create a hybrid indoor sports complex that will serve as a hub for athletic development and national pride. Currently, Lahore does not have the same level of indoor sports facilities as outdoor ones, which makes this project unique The complex will feature sports like basketball and paddle tennis, among others, and will offer various facilities to cater to different groups, including school children, university students, and professional athletes. It will provide a safe space for everyone to engage in physical activity. This world-class sports complex will enable children to reach international levels, offering the right facilities and environment. Through this project, I aim to promote sports facilities in Pakistan, while fostering community engagement and nations rid
Re development of hamlet into urban amenities
(UMT,Lahore, 2022) Anosh Iqbal
Rural development is critical to a country's economic, social, and environmental viability. Because global poverty is primarily rural, it is critical for poverty elimination. Poverty has subregional and regional manifestations that extend beyond the urban-rural split. Coordinating rural development activities that contribute to sustainable livelihoods at the global, regional, national, and local levels, as appropriate, is vital, and there is significant value to be achieved. Rural development strategies should take into account the remoteness and potential of rural areas, and offer tailored, unique approaches. (1) In the research region, the geographical distribution pattern of rural development potential is concentrated on the central and southern urban development areas, with a steady decrease toward the periphery. Overall, village development potential is balanced, but differences in advantage and development obstacles are observed across villages in the district, and the four sub-dimensions show significant spatial heterogeneity (2) the 38 administrative villages were divided into four types: core planning area, important planning area, general planning area, and basic control area. (3) Differentiated planning contents and methods for various kinds of locations are utilised to construct well-detailed and clearly targeted village plans to support sustainable rural development, with 13.16 percent, 52.63 percent, 23.68 percent, and 10.53 percent, respectively.
Vertical horizons
(UMT, Lahore, 2025) NAMEL MUSHTAQ
When studying the rise of Urban Lahore, we need to shift our urban language from horizontal sprawl to intentional verticality. Vertical Horizons looks at how high-rise mixed-use buildings can grow from several object-oriented towers of high profit, into being community driven contextual uplifts of vertical neighborhoods. This thesis explores the combining of residential, commercial, co-working, and community space, in a single high-rise, that supports social life, sustainability, and shared space in an everyday, post pandemic urban existence. Starting with the critiques of typologies and gleaning design opportunities that constructs an urban space for human encounters, flexible work-life, and environmental consciousness in urban case studies in Pakistan, France, and Germany. The project proposes a 16-story mixed-use tower, where smart technologies, zoning efficiencies, and share gardens create a liveable urban vertical ecosystem. Addressing local identity, passive and service design, and a public realm that is integrated. The final design is data driven as a prototype for how to create future high-rise community in South Asian cities.

International cricket stadium
(UMT,Lahore, 2022) SUMAIR GHAZANFAR ALI
Sports have become a basic need in modern society. I talk about Pakistan cricket is the most famous game here and the game played by most of the Pakistani is cricket. We have a lot of sports talent in Pakistan but do not have a platform to use this talent. The plan presented in the report is an academy with an international cricket stadium and a guest house in the Islamabad area. This zone of Islamabad is already allocated for cricket ground by CDA (Capital Development Authority). These project’s key features are Cricket Ground and academy and some other sports facilities include (indoor sports complex, restaurants, recreational spaces) which incorporate on a domestic or international level. The cricket academy aims to train players in a moderately possessed environment. The Cricket Hall of Fame will showcase special events through additional digital displays keep and observe the various art forms and uniforms of famous players and the golden history of cricket. Review of cricket grounds literature and case studies has gone a long way in discovering and understanding the tendon spaces’ uses, and functions on the pitch. Design is based on two concepts, one is master-planned and the other built. My master plan will combine cricket stadiums, cricket academies, and guest houses into a charming landscape that will appeal to the public and spectators.
