Abdurrahman Fakhro is recorded as a Bahraini student enrolled on the 1962-63 postgraduate course run by the Architectural Association’s (AA) Department of Tropical Studies. A joint project, with fellow students, for a school in Delhi, was published in the AA Journal of April 1963 and Fakhro duly graduated with a postgraduate Certificate in the same year. Details of his earlier education and subsequent career are not yet known to us but he appears to have been the architect for a 1968 house in Mamman, Bahrain, commissioned by his brother, Dr. Ali Fakhro. The chalet-style residence has since been extended and converted into a creative community and cultural space.
