The
concept
of
constructing
a
national
monument
in
Islamabad
was
initially
suggested
by
former
President
of
Pakistan
Pervez
Musharraf.
In
2004,
the
government
laid
the
foundation
stone,
and
the
Council
of
Architects
and
Town
Planners
organized
an
architecture
competition
in
2005
to
select
a
design
for
the
landmark.
The
objective
was
to
create
a
monument
that
symbolizes
the
strength
of
the
Pakistani
people
and
the
sovereignty
of
the
state.
Over
21
architects
from
different
parts
of
the
country
submitted
their
proposals,
and
three
were
shortlisted.
Ultimately,
Arif
Masoud
was
honored
with
the
opportunity
to
design
the
Pakistan
Monument.
Engineer
Syed
Mahmud
Khalid
supervised
the
completion
of
the
monument
in
2006.
The
inauguration
ceremony
took
place
on
March
23,
2007.
Spanning
2.8
hectares
of
land,
it
holds
the
top
position
on
the
list
of
national
monuments
in
Pakistan.
