Seema Nusrat finds her creative muse in the bustling energy of the urban metropolis where she has lived. With a deep-rooted fascination for urban life and the interaction between existing and imposed urban landscapes, Nusrat seeks to understand the complex relationship between people and their environment. She embraces a collaborative approach, involving artisans, craftsmen, and technical experts from diverse backgrounds. Nusrat has used a wide array of materials to visualize her work, ranging from everyday objects to site-specific materials. “Urban Screen” is a documentation of the new architectural language that has evolved to cater to the needs and demands of rapid urbanization. This language has emerged from security and privacy concerns and represents a shift from traditional architectural features like low boundary walls, verandas, roshandans, and large windows, which once offered continuity between architecture and the environment. This division has created a separation between the residents and the environment that they inhibit.
