Renowned Pakistani architect Habib Fida Ali passed away on Saturday morning.
The architect reportedly suffered a brain hemorrhage and was under treatment at a private hospital in Karachi.
Fida Ali was one of Pakistan’s most distinguished architects and his experience was perhaps as grand in scope as some of the buildings he designed over four decades in Karachi.
