My View of our new Workplace

Woods Bagot is designing the new workplace for ADTA’s new building and they did a session with us about how the new workplace should look like. Following is my view of what should be in the new workplace.

 

Karachi before the year 1900

I received these in email, apparently they are from British Library and I think they are worth sharing.

 

Napier Mole Bridge (road to Keamari). Manora lighthouse visible in the distance

Sind Arts College (now DJ Science College) – built 1877

Karachi city street view

Lyari Market

Karachi Gymkhana (built 1886)

Empress Market (built 1889)

Victoria Road (note St. Andrew’s church). Area to the left is today’s Regal chowk; intersection in the foreground is where Mahboob Market now stands.

View of Saddar (Empress Market is in the distance; street in the foreground is probably Victoria Rd or Elphi.)

Clifton Road (now Fatima Jinnah Road ). Street in the foreground is today’s Shahrah-e-Faisal as it bears around Metropole. Part of Sind Club seen on the right.

View of Saddar (St. Patrick’s cathedral/St. Joseph’s convent in the distance). Intersection in foreground is crossing of Zaibunnisa and Shahrah-e-Iraq (road going from passport office towards St. Joseph ’s)

Frere Street (Saddar) with Empress Market visible

Applications & Services Architecture

Spent the morning today working on this. Although couldn’t get a chance of explaining everything in the presentation but the diagram was surely helpful for an overview of the services being offered and the depth of integrations that we have.
