He gave up his lucrative practice and spent five years traveling the desert regions studying the vernacular architecture of his native country. It proved to be the turning point in his career, allowing him to test new building methods based on traditional construction such as his Geltaftan Earth-and-Fire System and later his "Superadobe" system.
In this interview, conducted in March 2005, Khalili talks about designing Lunar housing, working with the U.N., and his decision to abandon conventional wisdom and run his own race.
