About Dijlah Village Komplex

Der Dijlah Village Complex im Herzen von Bagdad im Irak mit seiner 12.000 m² großen Anlagefläche ist als gemischt genutzter Gewerbekomplex konzipiert, um den relevanten Anforderungen in der wachsenden Nachbarschaft gerecht zu werden. Um den Marktanfragen gerecht zu werden, wurden ein Fitnessbereich, ein Spa und ein Innenpool in die Einrichtungen aufgenommen. Der Entwurfsprozess entwickelte sich um die Idee, die europäische Moderne mit dem Orientalismus als Kontrast zu verbinden. In der resultierenden Synthese wurde ein Produkt abgeschlossen, das die Suche nach Bagdad beantwortet.
