Background

About Madeeha Ayub

Madeeha’s interests as an urban designer lie at the intersection of built environment, geopolitics and spatial mechanisms of territories. Hailing from Kashmir, Madeeha’s design sensibilities are influenced by ways in which our cities are invisibly colonized, thus reducing our right to them. She strongly believes in participatory design practices to promote resilience, equity, social justice and sustainability. She strives to empower urban design as a profession that breaks disciplinary silos and is central to an understanding of today’s world. Through multi-scalar mapping and design approaches, Madeeha aims to unpack the dynamic of constant flux that regions experience due to a multitude of internal and external factors, in the end to be tied to their place and communities.
