Mikail Maqsood

Spring 2020 seminar: B.Arch. candidate, architecture

Born and raised in Karachi, Mikail Maqsood is a fourth-year student in the B.Arch. program at Cornell. Through this course, he hopes to better understand how globally pervasive urban imaginaries have been constructed and transmitted, and how these learnings can be translated to places that have yet to construct their own in a post-colonial climate. Having exhibited in several group shows in Pakistan, his drawing, painting and music production absorb his academic interests.
