KARACHI: Eleven of the 32 high-rise buildings to be constructed in Pakistan have been approved by the government. One of them, the Port Tower in Karachi is planned to be 160 stories high. But, now architects are asking, can the Karachi Building Control Authority (KBCA) ensure the proper safety measures for such mammoth ventures?
There is a prime example in the not so recent past. “After the collapse of the WTC twin towers, architects around the world started thinking about adopting the maximum number of safety measurements for future buildings,” said architect Arshad Abdullah, adding that as Karachi was getting new high rises, it was time to think along the same lines.
Abdullah was one of the architectural and engineering experts who spoke at a seminar ‘Architectural and engineering lessons from WTC twin towers collapse’ organized by Memon Professional Forum, Institute of Engineers Pakistan and Association of Consulting Engineers Pakistan Saturday.
