The Textile Institute of Pakistan (TIP) was an important undertaking for ASA.
As textiles is Pakistan’s largest industrial sector and provides 38 percent of
employment, the workforce needed to be better skilled and educated. TIP
is spread across 55 acres and is located on the National Highway some
40 kilometers from the Karachi city center. The institute buildings cover
approximately 293,000 square feet. There are boarding amenities for the
students since the campus is far from the city. To offset the land’s barren and
dusty look, it was important to design this sensitively to make it comfortable
and inviting for the students and faculty. Large waterbodies were designed,
and fruit trees were planted abundantly. Long-lasting materials were used.
