Basil Al-Bayati : Recent Works

Charting the works of one of the more flamboyant architects on the international scene, who was brought up in Iraq but works from London, this volume presents projects in England, Europe and the Middle East, including an oriental village by the sea, a country house on an island in the Thames, the Sinmar Palaces and Qasr Ghumdan Palace Hotel in Sana's, Yemen.

Al-Bayati's architectural expressions are at the intersection of East West where tradition and cultural boundaries are in a state of flux; when the two worlds meet the outcome is vivid, clear and with its own unique identity.
