Going through the last issue of ADA, I was deeply touched to read the poignant, moving piece written on Ar. Misbah Najmi by his daughter and son. It was both an obituary and celebration of the life of a highly talented architect, a patron of art, teacher and mentor to a generation of young architects, an essentially family man whose charm and warmth enveloped a very wide circle of doting relatives and friends of all ages and denominations.
Your coverage of the work of young architects in the same issue is indeed laudable. You have provided them with a rare window, never before available to young professionals in Pakistan, to showcase their creations. We hope we shall be able to see the presence of many other young architects from across the country in the coming issues of ADA.
Keep up the good work! — Ar. Syed Akeel Bilgrami (Karachi)
