DAZ Award for Interdisciplinarity and Creativity in Design

In recognition and memory of his lifelong devotion to the fields of Art and Design; and his close association with IVS over the years, the Zuby Trust proposes to launch the Danish Azar Zuby Award for Interdisciplinarity and Creativity in Design along with a token cash incentive of PKR 50,000/- (Pakistani Rupees Fifty Thousand only), for ONE graduating student from the Department of Interior Design at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture each year.

Art

We believe that supporting art and all its related fields will contribute to the growth of our collective reflective and creative spirit.

Design

With the development of design and its fields, our shared critical and creative faculties best respond to challenges that surround us.

Humanities

Strengthening the discourses of study in the broad spectrum of humanities enable us all to build a sensitive and empathetic cultural milieu.

Social Sciences

Inspiration from the social sciences and its disciplines brings our collective consciousness towards more rational and constructive directions.

Criteria for Selection of Award Recipient

Students in their final year of the Interior Design programme at IVS are eligible for this award. The Award Committee will look for excellence in one or both of the following criteria in their final year thesis design projects:

  1. An interest in addressing social and/or environmental concerns through design that pushes the boundaries of Interior Design and experiments with an interdisciplinary approach to address the thesis objectives.
  2. Representation of the project using highly creative skills, including but not limited to: film and video, sketches, painting, and mixed media.

Award Committee and Guidelines

A three member Award Committee will be set up each year. The committee will comprise of the following members:
  1. Zohaib Zuby, as the representative of the Zuby Trust and the permanent member of this committee.
  2.  One faculty member from the Department of Interior Design at IVS, recommended by the HoD, in consultation with the Thesis Faculty. The faculty member can be full-time or adjunct. However, the final year Thesis Faculty will not be included in the committee.
  3. One IVS alum invited by the Trust. This can be a graduate from any programme at IVS who has worked with an interdisciplinary approach.
  4. The final year thesis faculty will be invited to share their suggestions for the award recipient. However, the committee will make its independent evaluation by looking through the final year thesis panel presentations of all students.
  5. The final decision of the Award Committee will be communicated to the Interior Design HoD and the Registrar of IVS through email, and will remain binding on all parties concerned, and would not be open to being challenged or appealed against.

This is neat - alumni from AKU-ISMC have set up an Urdu-English meditation platform to help people cope with the crisis of uncertainty and lockdown. We make a big deal about training future leaders in AKU-ISMC and sometimes that means people who have obvious positions of authority, like politicians, diplomats, scholars or entrepreneurs, but sometimes it means taking a lead in more personal capacities to try and make things better for others.

I'm truly impressed and humbled by Tehmina Mansoor and Zohaib Zuby. They are definitely demonstrating the kind of leadership that makes me proud to be part of AKU.
