The ADA Awards Fifth Cycle 2026–27 Seminar “Art & Design as Catalyst”, held in collaboration with Shaheed Allah Buksh Soomro University, Jamshoro, brought together architects, designers, artists, and students for a day centered on dialogue, exchange, and creative inquiry.

We were privileged to feature speakers from the Fifth Cycle including Ar. Tariq Hasan, Ar. Shazia Qureshi, Saima Saleem, and Munawar Ali, who shared their work and insights, offering perspectives that reflected both practice and purpose, and resonated strongly with the audience.

The panel discussion session was moderated by Shazia Abro, guiding the conversation and bringing together diverse viewpoints around the evolving role of creativity across disciplines.
