If I'm In London It Can Be

It Would Be Very Interesting To Design Objects For Everyday Life, Something Where The Ideas That Are Expressed Can Be Launched Into Society.

The Current State Of Architecture And Design Requires Extensive Collaboration And An Investigative Attitude And We Continue To Research And Develop New Technologies.

My Earliest Memory Of Architecture, I Was Perhaps 6 Or 7 Years Old, Was Of My Aunt Building A House In Mosul In The North Of Iraq. The Architect Was A Close Friend Of My Father's And He Used To Come To Our House With The Drawings And Models. I Remember Seeing The Model In Our Living Room And I Think It Triggered Something, As I Was Completely Intrigued By It.

I Love Driving Around East London - It's Always Full Of Surprises. Actually, I Don't Drive Myself - I Like To Be Driven.

I Used To Not Like Being Called A 'woman Architect.' I'm An Architect, Not Just A Woman Architect. The Guys Used To Tap Me On The Head And Say 'you're Ok For A Girl.' But I See An Incredible Amount Of Need From Other Women For Reassurance That It Can Be Done, So I Don't Mind Anymore.
