Tabeer e Nau is a privately initiated visiting school in Gulmit (Upper Hunza, Northern Pakistan) by Faisal Arshad and André Meyerhans. The village has a well preserved historic center with a summer palace and a polo field typical for the region.

Together with the local community, the participants of Tabeer e Nau look into possible solutions to socio-economical and ecolocical matters. Solutions are addressed on an urban and architectural scale to enhance and sustainably develop the village to a more prosperous settlement. All solutions are meant to be implemented sooner or later, thus, they need to be realizable within the very limited resources of the community or presentable as a project that can be financed through third party support. Tabeer e Nau presents and discusses the outcome of every visiting school with the local community.

Participants of Tabeer e Nau are architects, designers, photographers – mainly young professionals but also students – and coming from all over Pakistan and soon hopefully from beyond.
