Item JUSTICE AS SPECTACLE: Spatializing Power in the Post-Parliament Era(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2026-06-30) EISHA KHALID; FA21-BAR-045; LHR TP 10184; MOEEZ HASANThis thesis explores justice as a public performance rather than merely a legal function. It investigates how power is expressed through visibility, circulation, surveillance, and spatial hierarchy within judicial architecture. Instead of proposing a conventional courthouse, the project imagines a future judicial complex that intentionally exposes how justice is staged, controlled, interpreted, and concealed. Inspired by the novel Namal, the thesis uses metaphors of light and darkness to translate themes of truth, deception, morality, and hidden authority into architectural space. The design is organized into Light, Grey, and Dark zones, where programs are divided according to how justice is publicly performed, administratively processed, and privately enforced. Situated within Islamabad’s political and symbolic landscape, the project critiques institutional power while exploring architecture as a medium for revealing the visible and invisible structures behind justice.Item REIMGINING INCARCERATION IN BETWEEN WALLS(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2026-06-30) SAMIHA FATIMA; FA21-BAR-010; LHR TP 10162; MOEEZ HASANThis thesis explores the idea of the development of a new spatial model designed especially for under trial prisoners, proposing an alternative approach that emphasizes dignity, rehabilitation, and judicial efficiency over conventional punitive confinement. Grounded in contemporary prison reform paradigms, the study reimagines incarceration architecture as a centralized, vocational training units, shared spaces, and restorative environments. The design restructures incarceration into controllable zones that reduce overcrowding, support mental well being, and ease the frequent court transfers an issue particularly relevant in high pressure urban contexts like Lahore, where the undertrial population influence the prison demographic. Prioritizing rehabilitative environments, integrating educational and vocational programs, and passive cooling strategies, this proposed model aligns legal rights, human centric design, and urban justice.Item INNOVATION CAMPUS: A HYBRID MODEL FOR TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION AND INCUBATION IN LAHORE(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2026-06-30) M. HAMZA NAVEED; FA21-BAR-007; LHR TP 10160; MOEEZ HASANThe role of universities in the 21st century is evolving beyond conventional education toward environments that foster research, innovation, entrepreneurship, and industry collaboration. In Pakistan, however, universities, incubators and technology hubs largely operate in isolation that is limiting interdisciplinary interaction and weakening academia–industry linkages. This thesis investigates how an Innovation Campus in Lahore can address this gap through a hybrid architectural model integrating learning, research, incubation and public engagement within a collaborative environment. The research examines concepts such as University 4.0, Innovation Districts and Knowledge Cities within the context of Pakistan’s emerging knowledge economy and rapidly growing youth population by using literature review, comparative case studies and urban analysis. The study proposes a new campus typology with flexible interdisciplinary spaces that encourage creativity, innovation and knowledge exchange among students, researchers, entrepreneurs, startups and industry partners. The proposed Innovation Campus is envisioned as an active urban platform rather than an isolated institution, supporting sustainable and climate-responsive design, social interaction, industry–academia collaboration and inclusive urban regeneration while located within Lahore’s developing institutional corridor. The thesis argues that such a model can redefine higher education in Pakistan by transforming the university into a dynamic infrastructure for innovation and long-term socioeconomic growth.
