Being Iraqi Taught Me To Be Very

Architecture Is Really About Well-being. I Think That People Want To Feel Good In A Space ... On The One Hand It's About Shelter, But It's Also About Pleasure.

It Was Such A Depressing Time. I Didn't Look Very Depressed, Maybe, But It Was Really Dire. I Made A Conscious Decision Not To Stop, But It Could Have Gone The Other Way.

I Am Quite Sensitive To Politics, Because You Know, As An Arab, An Iraqi, All Your Life, You Are Very Conscious Of It.

I Am Equally Proud Of All Of My Architectural Projects. It's Always Rewarding To See An Ambitious Design Become Reality.

Different Projects Give You Satisfaction In Different Ways.
