Bio:
After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Architectural Design from the National College of Arts in Pakistan, Meherunnisa Asad studied at the Pratt Institute Graduate School of Fine Arts in New York where she received a masters. Returning to Pakistan, she worked as an architect on the Conservation of the Lahore Walled City at the Aga Khan Historic Cities Program. Inspired by her work in conservation, Meherunnisa realised the importance of preserving the traditional arts, and in 2010 began training with her mother Farhana to learn the art of handcrafted pietra dura or stone inlay, the art form Farhana had been working to conserve for over two decades. Meherunnisa continues to explore the convergence of her passion for the preservation of historic architecture with that of preserving classical traditions of the decorative arts. Through this convergence, she seeks to experiment and build bridges between contemporary creative styles and traditional craft techniques, all in an effort to showcase the wonders of natural stone.
