I had the honour of meeting and talking with Hamza a while back, a really bright and noble person I must say, and this book shows how his attitudes towards the architecture industry are worthy of respect: the gathering of influential and bright artists and architects and the clear understanding of current challenges and trends and the need to keep up with them.

needless to say this book is on the RIBA student essentials so it's worth reading for any students/young architects.
