Abstract
The Echoes of Lahore – Performing Arts Centre is a thesis project that conceptualizes a
cultural center commemorating Pakistan's rich performing arts heritage. The envisioned
centre combines old and new artistic forms—such as music, dance, drama, and theatre—
into one architectural structure that sustains creativity, education, and community
interaction. Taking cues from regional and global examples like Kala Academy (Goa),
Esplanade (Singapore), Alhamra Arts Council (Lahore), and The Colony (Lahore), the project
highlights cultural conservation, usable design, and harmony of spaces. The center has
separate areas for performance, exhibitions, learning, and public gathering, and is
emphasized on accessibility and climatic sensitivity. By way of this project, the vision is to
establish an environment that is inclusive and motivating and reinforces Lahore's status as a
cultural hub as well as fosters new generations of creatives.
