I was honored to be the part of their team in late 90s. Both brothers (Shahid sahib and Arshad sahib) are the man of wisdom, I found them extremely down to earth and very kind to their associates. That was the best experience of my life. Dua hai ke Almighty Allah Arshad sahib ki maghferat fermaye aur Shahid sahib ko sahet ke sath lambi zindagi ata fermaye. Ameen, Shaheryar

Young generation wants to hear you more and more..

[@curiousdadi]

Not just an architect but also a man of wisdom!

[@fahadhussain66]

Architecture has been influenced by Art. Innovations in the arts have had a direct correlation with Science. Science realizes that man knows nothing, and knowing nothing is the beginning of all wisdom; hence, architects have to KNOW, and learn/improve constantly.
