THE IAP& ARCHITECTURE IN PAKISTAN
The Institute of Architects, Pakistan (IAP) was established in 1957 by a small group of architects
who had been trained in the west and either worked for the government or were in practice. IAP was
formally registered in 1968 under the Societies Act, and subsequently registered in 1968 under the
Companies Ordinance, with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) with the
following objectives:
 To organize the profession of architecture in Pakistan and look after professional interests as
well as those of the public in general concerned with the building profession.
 To promote the cause of Architecture in Pakistan and to assist in the setting up of schools of
architecture throughout the country.

promote the passing of a statutory Registration Act for architects in Pakistan.
 To establish contact with other national and international professional bodies of architects
throughout the world, and

cause of the architectural profession.

Karachi, in 1954, which was subsequently upgraded to a five-year degree program.

architecture schools in the country. Apart from the majority of the full-time faculty who are
