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.
