Describe your Dream Project?
My dream project would be one that involved helping less fortunate children that have been affected by conflict or war, and are living in deprived, dangerous areas under siege conditions. I would like to design and build a small village for the children that comprise of educational facilities, recreational areas and health centers. It would be an amazing feeling to be able to wash away their fears, dismiss the hardships that conflicts or war may have brought to them and give them hope for a brighter future.

How do you see the future of the landscape industry in the GCC region developing?
The GCC region has an excellent reputation in understanding the importance and benefits of improving the environment, overall wellbeing and for protecting its cultural heritage. This is an excellent platform from which the Landscape industry can continue to flourish. In my opinion, the GCC region is fully aware of the importance of Landscape Architecture, City Planning and Sustainability for both current and future generations. As long as various market sectors, such as health care and education and the economy can sustain year-on-year growth, then landscape architecture and urban planning will continue to be in demand.

There will always be factors that will continue to threaten the world’s economy, but as long as Governments make planned decisions and do not take uncalculated risks, I believe that the future is bright for not only the Landscape industry but for other industries too.
