Sidra Khokhar is an architect, educator, and researcher at The School of Art, Design and, Architecture at The National University of Science and Technology (NUST) in Islamabad, Pakistan. Her teaching and research explore the relationship of systemic approaches towards architectural education and how design pedagogy has the potential to be innovative in its implementation, especially in Pakistan. She is also an avid writer who aims to revitalize the critical thinking skills amongst the future architects being educated in her country. She believes that the best way to start this process is at a formative educational level which is inside an architectural design studio, that essentially forms the basis of her scope of research.
