'Makiya was Baghdad and Baghdad was Makiya.' These words sum up the
life of one of the Middle East's most famous architects. Mohamed
Makiya's career spanned seven decades and included projects in more
than ten countries. He was a master of incorporating traditional
and classical styles into modern architecture. For Makiya, the
continuity of tradition as a 'living dimension' was the
justification for his work. Makiya was revered as a teacher of
architecture in Iraq, where he set up the first Department of
Architecture at Baghdad University in 1959. Makiya was also a
promoter of Iraqi art, which he displayed at his Kufa Gallery in
London that was set up to build a bridge between the East and the
West. This compelling biography reveals the life of a visionary who
achieved remarkable feats in Iraq and whose philosophy and humanity
crossed all borders and cultures.
