Raya Ani and Zayad Motlib presented on Monday, August 27 at the Iraqi Engineers Union in Al Mansour, Baghdad. The presentation was free and open to all practicing Architects, Faculty of Architecture, and Architecture Students.

CROSSOVER_Baghdad addresses the architectural and urban challenges that resulted from the process of dividing Baghdad urban areas into pockets characterized by high concrete walls, which has transformed the city into separate zones and communities. The studio will deal with the divisions across a selected area of Al-Ahrar Bridge or one of the bridges across the Tigris River, and will introduce a range of design strategies and techniques aiming at transforming the two sides of the river into a cohesive urban connection.

“It was our dream to have the first initiative in Baghdad, Iraq,” says Raya Ani and Zayad Motlib
