“I appreciate the Tamayouz Lifetime Achievement Award, like the other awards I received. I will appreciate this more, though, as it comes from an organisation founded by pure Iraqi efforts and supported by renowned organisations and institutions. I think Tamayouz Excellence Award will be one of the pillars for the advancement of architecture in our world."

“It is true that we live many little lives in our one big lifetime. This trip was one of those little lives that I will cherish forever. People I met were the best in what they do and believe in. Inspiration will be an understatement for what they gave me. My time in Jordan changed my perspectives and gave me hope on how initiatives like Tamayouz can change the world through love and compassion.”

"Sometimes dreams come true, and this time, it was Tamayouz who made mine come true. Through this experience in Jordan, I discovered different visions. Everyone I met was interesting with their own unique and special spirit, which gave me an inspirational push for the future and a new way of looking at the world.” ​
