Second Report on the Proposed Plan of the New University of Karachi

Report outlining a proposed plan for the University of Karachi. In 1951, the Government of Pakistan had commissioned Michel Écochard, Gérard Thurnauer, and Pierre Riboulet to design the new university on a 1,200 acre plot of land. The architects prepared an initial report on the proposed plan for the campus and individual buildings in 1954. This report, authored by Thurnauer and Riboulet, details changes to the initial plan proposed in 1954, "due either to further development of the plan, or to construction costs, or to increased knowledge of the problem" (p. 1).
