long section

Finance and

Trade Centre

Karachi

1989

Planned around a network

of courtyards landscaped

with fountains and

vegetation, the Finance

and Trade Centre used

ancient methods of

cooling spaces to minimise

the use of air conditioning.

Developed in consultation

with the Canadian

architect Eva Vecsei, open

corridors (right) link the

blocks, channelling cool

breezes deep into the

building's plan.
