Mr. Salman Jamil

Associate Professor & Head of Program

Biography

As a certified Architect and a researcher I am inspired from production of theory based design innovation that defines the scope of spatial environment, a response towards an enriched space that commutes a dialogue with the users of diverse cultural background.

My design process is based on deriving experimental procedures to envision interactive spaces for commercial and residential to public realms. As a designer I encourage work ethics towards multidisciplinary issues in planning, interiors, design aesthetics/philosophy and social communal development.
