Architecture Is Unnecessarily Difficult. It's Very Tough.

You Really Have To Have A Goal.

I Have Always Appreciated Those Who Dare To Experiment With Materials And Proportions.

My Work First Engaged With The Early Russian Avant-garde; The Paintings Of Moholy-nagy, El Lissitzky's 'prouns' And Naum Gabo's Sculptures, But In Particular With The Work Of Kasimir Malevitch - He Was An Early Influence For Me As A Representative Of The Modern Avant-garde Intersection Between Art And Design.

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.

Being Iraqi Taught Me To Be Very Cautious.
