About this record

What this page is

A photographic record of the people who have held this practice since 1981, kept in the same way a drawing set is kept: one format, one treatment, a caption on every sheet.

It is not a complete record. Photographs are added as they are found, and a caption is written only as far as the evidence goes — where a person or an occasion cannot be confirmed, the caption says nothing rather than guessing.

Additions

The record is being added to. If you can identify a person or date an occasion shown on this page, or hold a photograph that belongs here, write to the practice.

How the record is kept

  • Every photograph is reproduced at one size, in one treatment.
  • A caption names only a person who can be positively identified.
  • A date is printed only where the date is documented.
  • Where an occasion or a person is uncertain, the caption says so.

The founder

Engr. Nazar Siddiqui

He founded the practice in Karachi in 1981 as Atif Nazar Associates, entered it on the register of the Pakistan Engineering Council on 4 June 1982, and led it until he passed away in 2020.
