Recipients of Iraq's Tamayouz Women in Architecture and Construction Award

By Bustler Editors|

Wednesday, Nov 5, 2014

Winner of the Tamayouz Women in Architecture and Construction Award - Shereen Sherzad

Shereen Sherzad, Venus Akef, and Neda Al-Juboory were honored in the second annual Tamayouz Women in Architecture and Construction Award. Established in 2012, the Tamayouz award is the first award of its kind in the Middle East.

As part of the The Iraqi Architecture Prize's Tamayouz Excellence Award, the Tamayouz award was created to highlight the achievements of Iraqi female architects, promote role models to empower young Iraqi women, and to also inspire skilled women to explore traditionally male-dominated professions — like architecture.
