A multidisciplinary platform ADA – Architecture Design Art is an international publication house since 2008, documenting Architecture, Design, and Art in Pakistan and neighboring regions. The bi-monthly publication is specific to architects, designers, artists, theorists, social scientists, activists, academics & related professionals. This national archive of design and practice documents significant architecture, art and design from across the country and features articles on current practice, building technology, art renditions and social issues affecting society and lifestyles, questions strictures of sustainability, empathy, equity and social justice through built environment and art.

Celebrating its decade milestone in 2018 ADA expanded its outreach by hosting a series of seminars and conferences in Architecture, Design and Art discipline. It is now an activist portal raising voice and creating noise for society’s social, environmental, built atmosphere, afforestation, pollution and sustainable agendas. The signature series ‘Do You Know Your City?’ deliberates amongst intellectuals across disciplines to discuss and initiate conversations on issues of societal concern. Moreover, ADA pioneered Pakistan’s first ever multi-disciplinary Awards known as the ADA Awards in 2018, which is now in its second cycle. ADA Awards aim to place Pakistan in the global arena with works aligned towards international recognition and in parallel recognize celebrities of the creative fields that impact lives, inspire generations and leave a legacy of exceptional works.
