...I nearly lived at MIT when I was a student! On my mother's first visit from Iraq, she was dead worried about my safety....she used to get upset with me for getting back late. There was an area between MIT and my apartment which was not safe at the time and students used to carry a pepper spray for self-defense... I did not carry one and my mother was terrified that someone will attack me at night.. so I slept at MIT when I had a very late night.. Thanks to The Margaret Cheney Room at MIT..

...The goal of the Iraqi House Foundation "is to provide shelter, education, emotional support and rehabilitation to help Iraqi children who has no families to recover from the trauma of losing their parents and their caregivers ...." December 2018: Our story started when Raya Ani decided to visit Husham Al Thahabi’s children in their home in Baghdad. She held a presentation/workshop for the children, followed by few meetings with Husham Al Thahabi in which they discussed project details and program requirements. She was then selected as the Lead Design Architect for the project, inspired by Husham Al Thahabi’s vision to provide the children of Baghdad a safe and creative place to live in. Through a workshop structured by Raya Ani, she introduced the children to images portraying a kaleidoscope of colors and optical illusions. The children were left in awe and this subsequently compounded Raya’s belief in the project and laid the groundwork for the design. The children then took part in the workshop which enabled them to express and reflect upon what inspires them in a space. Aided by colored pencils and paper, the children filled their sheets with hues and shapes that signified a new understanding of the space around them. February 2019: Raya Ani travelled to visit the site of the Iraqi Home Foundation for Creativity with Husham Al Thahabi and his children. During her trip, she set up the team for the project. Iraqi Home Foundation for Creativity Project Design: Raya Ani envisioned a building that people can identify with on the exterior through the use of Baghdadi brick that envelops the main spaces, overlooking the interior courtyard that is placed in between the brick building and the polycarbonate portion that houses the public functions such as theater, showroom, and football field . The brick peels where the windows are to allow natural light to enter the building. The peels are formed by a staggering brick pattern highlighted by blue glazed edges. The interior space acts as a canvas for art and expression, enabling the design to motivate and empower the users through the creative use of space, light, art and nature. The hands-on interactive nature of the project allows the dichotomy of the built fabric and natural world to coexist to create an environment that is rich in experience. Through the world of Art, Creativity and Nature, the Iraqi Home Foundation of Creativity is giving the children a special world of their own.

...Expo 2020 in Dubai is divided into three sectors: Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability. The Iraq pavilion is in the opportunity sector where opportunity is expressed through Al Saliya - A traditional fishing net and a symbol of wealth, wisdom and goodness in Mesopotamian culture. Al Saliya structure shades the Iraq Pavilion while the Iraq pavilion showcases Iraq's history as well as Iraq's future opportunities from North to South of Iraq through Iraq's two rivers- The Tigris and the Euphrates. The woven baskets made from palm leaves fill the mesh allowing natural light into the pavilion through the openings while providing shade. It also allows the natural movement of air taking advantage of the prevailing winds. This approach embraces passive cooling strategies resulting in electrical energy savings promoting a sustainable approach. As for the colors of the baskets, they are taken from the map that illustrates Iraq's future potential in photovoltaics symbolizing future opportunities in the use of solar energy. Palm trees are of special importance for Iraqis, as they are a symbol of prosperity, continuity and growth. Serving as the source of food, livelihood, growth and building material, the palm trees are considered to be pre-eminently blessed in the heavenly books. The design intends to use the foliage of the palm tree to make baskets that perch on the structural frame. The palm leaves that make up the baskets are divided into two parts, the petioles and the leflets. The palm leaf baskets used in the pavilion are woven by Iraqi men and women. These baskets represent an important part of the Iraqi cultural heritage. Hence, becomes instrumental in the design by using traditional materials and methods for its making to support local crafts. #EmpoweringIraqis #EmpoweringIraq #localCrafts #baskets #colors_of_Iraq #NaturalLight #Mesopotamianculture #Expo2020 #DesignsforIraq #Tigris #Euphrates #empoweringLocalCrafts #passivecooling #OpportunityDistrict #PalmTrees #ALSaliya #supportIraq #IraqOpportunities #Sunstainability #energysavings #Iraqpotential
