Born in 1910 in Iraq, Naim Aslan entered the Liverpool School of Architecture in 1932 having previously worked from 1930-31 in the Public Works Department in Baghdad.

After leaving the Liverpool School he went to work with Philip D Hepworth in London where he would have worked on commissions such as Walthamstow Town Hall built between 1937-42. During and shortly after the Second World War, Aslan assisted his former professor (Sir) Charles Herbert Reilly on An Outline Plan for the County Borough of Birkenhead which was published in 1947.
