Silwat Afzal's attentions were towards commerce sector but she put herself into esteemed field like architecture, which in right way suited her as a holistic and futuristic manner. No doubt, through looking forward continuously she placed a platform not for only herself but also for those to whom she taught a variety of curriculum this vast field.

Silwat Afzal expressed her expert views in an interview with business monitor that she went ahead every step exquisitely and magnanimously while showing her excellencies in this respected field. when it was asked about her goals, she was of the firm views that initially there were some bottlenecks and hurdles but gradually she tackled them in excellent way.

In a reply to question about LAP, she stated that a majority of the qualified practicing architects in the country are members of the IAP. They continue to contribute vigorously to this concept of national growth, each in their own way. And yet, the pangs of its own organization, questions of aesthetics, often in the face of attack from without, are not totally over. Resolution of lingering residual issues, emergence of newer ones keeps IAP, a vigorous, vibrant and self rejuvenating organization, dealing and encouraging new ideas and fresh concepts in tune with national growth and aspirations.

IAP continues to support and make major contributions to these organizations. Over the years, many IAP Members have held challenging portfolios in these organizations and continue to do so today. IAP is also the National Section of the International Union of Architects (UIA) IAP members have also made significant contributions, as jury members and advisors to the Aga Khan Award for Architecture (AKAA), the Kenneth Brown Asia-Pacific Award for Architecture & Culture (KBAPAC), National Heritage and other National, Provincial and City Government Committees over the years.

IAP must constantly support, encourage and ensure that these and other participatory professional contributions locally and internationally continue and indeed increase since the ultimate beneficiary of such involvement is the profession of Architecture in Pakistan. Elaborating, talking about the activities of the Institute of Architects she said that Pakistan and its Chapters have intensified, and is augmented with design competitions, seminars, lecture series, workshops and international forums together with building products' expositions, first ever Design Excellence Awards, student workshops and competitions coupled with an increasingly pro-active stand on various heritage, environmental and architectural issues.

With increasing membership and greater awareness of their roles and rights and responsibilities, their active participation in community life and with a new social outlook, we are poised on our 50th Anniversary, for the great leap forward into the next fifty-year journey. We do not want, as yet, to step on the moon, for us much remains to be done here on earth, especially on the earth of our own nation. The Institute of Architects, Pakistan, cannot but play a singular role in the coming years.
