Organizing the first students of Architecture Photography Exhibition, Bahrain

One of my Profound Experiences at University of Bahrain

As a professor of Architecture at University of Bahrain (2004-2009), I had the opportunity to engage my students in an interesting experience to understand the relation between people and places, new architecture and old heritage. The work of the students was submitted in the format of digital photos. Outstanding results came out of this exercise. The exhibition was held in Jamsheer house, the Bahraini center for architectural events. 

I was honored by having a wonderful group of creative students who made the event the talk of the city.
