Introduction
Multan is a showcase for recent regeneration as well as rich historic context. Its history and age are characterized by the various names, rulers, invasions, cultures and religions, which span over a period of three thousand years. From the pre-Islamic era to modern times, culture of Multan has always been rich with literary and academic knowledge, which has caused it to be the center of learning throughout its history. The city recognizes the value of high-quality design, together with innovative and pragmatic approaches to resolving practical issues.
The Bachelor’s degree of Architecture at NFC-IET Multan, introduces the various sub fields for architects. The scope of the program is broad. In five years,students will learn all the basic skills and techniques combining theory and design with latest technological advances. Students’s own creativity and spatial insight play a major reole in this. Various design projects, both individually and in groups, will help them to learn about the way technology, culture and the living environment interact with each other. Students will develop analytical and creativity skills along-with spatial aptitude and will benefit from the practical expertise of specialists alongside research-active lectures, who provide a rich and stimulating environment in which to study architecture. We combine traditional lecture-based teaching with workshop and design studio sessions.
Project learning is the basis of architecture education, and the studio is where this learning takes place. B. Architecture graduates are highly valued for their confidence and creativity, and benefit from our strong links with national and international architectural practices.
Message from HoD
Ar. Syeda Mahwish Zahra
Architecture is not merely about structures, it’s about shaping experiences, emotions, and the future. We cultivate minds that think beyond boundaries, merging art, technology, and sustainability into meaningful design. Our vision is to empower students to become creators of environments that inspire, connect, and endure. Together, we design not just buildings but better worlds. We aim to equip students with the skills to design spaces that respond to human needs, cultural values, and environmental challenges. Through a blend of theory, technology, and design exploration, we nurture the architects of tomorrow.
