I Loved London. In The 1970s... It

I Like Music. Country, Hip-hop, R&b, Sometimes Classical.

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.

People Often Ask Me If I Consider Myself To Be An Architect, Fashion Designer, Or Artist. I'm An Architect. The Paintings I've Done Are Very Important To Me, But They Were Part Of A Process Of Thinking And Developing.

Too Many Are Too Obsessed By Method. It Becomes A Dogma.

I Don't Use The Computer. I Do Sketches, Very Quickly, Often More Than 100 On The Same Formal Research.
