Wadhal invites you to an afternoon talk as part of the ISHKAR Festival. Wadhal is an architecture studio in London, founded by Fahad Malik. Wadhal translates to an increase, surplus or the notion of exceeding limitations. It is the regional name for a tribe associated with Mianwali, Namal Lake and the surrounding land in Pakistan. In this context, it is used as an abstract term to represent a contemplative disposition, a considered approach to living and working, fully cherishing every facet of the process.
This talk will discuss cultural identity in architecture and design, exploring the journey to conception of Wadhal with the ideas, people and places encountered on the way. It looks to explore a tapestry of influences leading to a developing design approach as an emerging architecture practice, while showcasing previous and current projects.
