Abstract:
This thesis report aims to explore the role of vocational training institute architecture as a
catalyst for empowering unskilled labor in Lahore, Pakistan. With a focus on site analysis,
passive design strategies, energy efficiency, water management, sustainable materials, life cycle
assessment, and community engagement, the report examines how the design and
implementation of vocational training institutes can contribute to a better way of education and
skill development for the unskilled labor force. By integrating sustainable and environmentally
conscious elements, vocational training institutes can provide a conducive learning environment
that enhances the employability and social mobility of individuals seeking to acquire new skills
and improve their livelihoods. The findings of this report have the potential to inform
architectural practices and educational policies, leading to the creation of vocational training
institutes that are not only functional and aesthetically pleasing but also socially and
environmentally responsible. Abstract: This thesis report aims to explore the role of vocational
