Nabeeha Khan’s undergraduate thesis proposes a comprehensive music complex in Lahore, responding to Pakistan’s fragmented and underserved cultural infrastructure. While digital platforms have amplified artists’ voices, the physical spaces needed for performance, collaboration, and education remain scarce. This project aims to fill that void by creating a civic landmark that nurtures creativity, supports economic opportunity, and strengthens cultural resilience. The thesis explores music’s dual role as both a cultural casualty and a catalyst for societal change. It envisions an architecture that is performative, symbolic, and transformative. Resonance Nexus unifies the full spectrum of musical experience—learning, production, rehearsal, and performance—under one integrated environment. The program includes a large concert hall, classical music hall, amphitheater, festival ground, and a dedicated music academy. Inspired by the rhythm of sound waves, its organic forms and layered spatial sequences mirror the journey of an artist from student to virtuoso. More than a venue, the project serves as a living archive and immersive cultural ecosystem where Pakistan’s musical heritage can evolve, resonate, and inspire future generations.

Beyond its architectural ambition, Resonance Nexus is an economic and social catalyst. It integrates sustainable strategies, employs passive environmental design, and aims to boost tourism, create jobs, and inspire a new generation. This is more than a venue, it is a national statement, a resilient platform where Pakistan’s musical past and future can resonate together on the global stage.
