Islamabad Property News : Kurri Road Housing Scheme from March 2012

ISLAMABAD - The much-awaited development activities at Kurri Road Housing Scheme will start from March next year and completed by April 2014, an official of Ministry of Housing and Works said on Friday.
He told APP that physical possession of 90.8 acres land had been taken over and an amount of Rs 445 million was already paid to the Capital Development Authority (CDA) as a cost of land.
He further said the design consultant had been appointed on August 3, who was working on the detailed specifications, layout, design, elevations and cost of the project.
To a question, he said devastating earthquake of October, 2005 established a need for revision of Building Code to make the building earthquake resistant. He said Ministry of Housing in consultation with experts revised the code and prepared Building Code of Pakistan (Seismic Provisions-2007 which was now a mandatory reference for Engineers and Architects.
All attached departments of Ministry of Housing and Works, Pakistan-PWD FGE Housing Foundation and Pakistan Housing Authority have already adopted this code, he said adding all buildings are designed and constructed in conformance to Seismic Provision 2007 since then.
Artist depicts ‘Buy One Get One’ in lines: A solo show on drawings on paper ‘Buy One Get One’ by Hasnat Mehmood was put on display Friday at Rohtas Art Gallery.
“The works reveal truth about the marketing of ‘Buy One Get One’ that refers to signage advertising trends in which nothing is actually free but only made to appear as if it is,” the artist said.
“I have seen so many tags for Western brands on which is written ‘Made in Pakistan’ or ‘Made in Sri Lanka’ or the name of some other developing country. This body of work emerges out of noticing these tags,” he said, adding, “I took this phenomenon from the business world and translated to the art world.”
On one level, the images are simply copies of famous art works, but the inscriptions inserted are equally important.
The text tells a story of the pictures and their origins or influences. “In doing so, I try to expose the system of dominance and reliance during the time of European colonialism. At the same time, I explore the importance given to some art works over others,” he stated.
The images trace the history of foreign rule that marks this region. The images are carefully selected to pose questions and highlight relationships between colonialism and neo-colonialism that defines the contemporary moment.
The show will continue till December 31.
Meanwhile, the Nukta Art Studios will hold an exhibition and award ceremony of all Pakistan Art Competition on December 25.
The event will be organised under the theme of “Vision of Jinnah”.
