In this interview, we speak to Maryam Eskandari, Principal of <a href="http://archinect.com/miimdesigns" target="_blank">MIIM Designs</a> and&nbsp;Adviser in History of Art and Architecture at <a href="http://archinect.com/harvard" target="_blank">Harvard University</a>. A practicing Muslim, Eskandari views her practice as an extension of her faith&mdash;which means, basically, to make "good architecture" for the 99%.</p>
