Decreasing of the greenery is an increasing the issue around the globe, due to multiple reasons including man- made actions and urbanization. Industrial revolution, with the inception of pollution of our environment for all life forms and species, and also the built space. Its causes and effects go proportional to one another and creates a loop covering many fields of science from geography to renewable energy. Lahore with its accelerating development in infrastructure and industries, and outward growth where many forests and farms have been wiped out, leaves less green areas to counter those built structure which consumes energy and destroyed our environment. This can be seen in the last few years as the case of smog occurred more prolonged and frequent. Tree or plant is the basic element which are purifying our environment. Therefore there is important to educate the public about the importance of greenery through experiential and ritual association. The term nature or greenery is very vast term therefore, this project specifically focusing on two parts of plantation one is Indoor plants Museum and second Outdoor trees Museum. Indoor museum base upon indoor architectural space where we cannot plant a tree which purpose have to didactic the user, how green strategies can be used in architectural spaces to accommodate the indoor plants and major focus on air purifying indoor plants. And Outdoor Museum based upon the indigenous trees with poetic depiction of experiential outdoor space with indigenous tree by using the folk stories, mythologies and poetry. And Try to make the sense of place by accommodating the contextual base programms

Thehegemony ofthe ruling thought has always demanded conformity asanessential condition for ^eing able to freely operate in Public Discourse and maintain the status quo. And in doing so, the establishment hasmanufactured and controlled countiy's popular narrative thathasrestructured i^man subjectivity and consolidated its influence, authority and established it presence ofpower, but only to be threatened by local resistances. The thesis aims at exploring how these resistances, dissenting from the official ideology, temporarily emerge in the (^maifToTBTer^ay life^ln spaces that carry the inherent potential ofgenerating disruption. Shaped by awide range ofsocio-political and historical discourses, these places are highly interactive sphere in city's political domain, from where the "threatening" alternative discoui'se se^.'ButtlSe spaces have always been the victim*^ oppression, and tFToseBwelling in them, the target and the thought that emerges out, censored.

Youth Innovatory A Die Centre For The Youth
(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2017) Attiyya Tur Rehman Anjum; FA13-BAR-004; Hajra Cheema; LHR TP 5747
Many of the youth of now are stuck in an institutionalized version of education which is structured and linear. That does nothing for their achievement of individualization or self-awareness leaving them unable to understand their own capacity or identify their own skill sets. The aim of this project is to provide a parallel education system that does not aim to isolate the individual from the process of knowledge. A place that, acts as an addi- tion to the existing educational institutes, and, is run by the youth for the youth, that pro- motes non-linear ways of learning and development. A place that empowers the youth and their individual strengths. The idea is to employ a strategy that aims at creating a facilitat- ing environment for the youth and acts as agents of positive change and development for them. To utilize the design as a medium for their empowerment and constructive engage- ment by employing informed design strategies to achieve community engagement, skills development and establishment of a multi-function center that serve as nodes of cultural and recreational activities involving youth. Through this thesis the aim is to address the many issues that today’s youth face in our education system and to rethink this as a place that not just combines youth culture and architecture to create a space that provides ade- quate recreational and vocational opportunities but which is also a representative of youth.
