Profile

Aram Mizuri is an architect and co-founder of Dehat Construction & Architecture, based in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. He graduated in architecture from Tishk International University in 2023 and is a member of the Kurdistan Engineers Union. His work draws on the spatial heritage of Kurdistan — from the Erbil Citadel to the mountain villages of Amadiya — as much as on classical and contemporary architecture, to design buildings and interiors that are contemporary in execution and shaped around the people who use them.

Through his own practice and Dehat Construction & Architecture, he has designed villas and homes, interiors, restaurants and cafés, offices, clinics and showrooms across the Kurdistan Region — several of them built by Dehat — and his first project abroad, a weekend house in Madrid. He believes architecture should keep the identity of a place while making it better to live in.

"Architecture is the bridge between a people's memory and the dreams of their future."
