Dr. Sami Angawi is a renowned expert on Islamic Architecture in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with a wide knowledge and appreciation of both traditional and modern architectural and design issues more generally.

We very much enjoyed his company whilst he was in London recently, and were delighted to provide a brief tour of our little part of London, even if Dr. Angawi was unsurprisingly rather underwhelmed by some of the empty, soulless architectural modernism that is springing up all around us. We hope to continue our conversation very soon.

Below are some pictures from the Amar Centre of Dr. Angawi's beautifully designed house, and you can find more information about him and his work here.
