Production Technology
Design process developed around the idea of blending European modernism with the orientalism as a contrast.
Design Challenge
The hardest part of the activity was to create a modern looking zone while still preserving the orienthal mood , which means creating spaces where people will find new and exciting without losing the cultural ties between the people and spaces.
Research
The research stage was a collaborative process with the client that established collective ownership over the creative process. Quark Studio Architects researched his clients likes and dislikes, their hopes for the space and the mood and also the potential and structural limitations of the building, and most importantly the unique history and character of the site which is just next to the famous Dijlah River, a very unique symbol for Baghdad city.
Inspiration
The materials, fixtures and furniture at Dijlah Village were chosen to create comfortable, memorable spaces with a refined ambiance, inspired by regional heritage and natural landscape features at the project location. The design process incorporated elements of European modernism contrasted and blended with Middle Eastern aesthetics. This stylistic synthesis provides a strong answer to the search for built forms that both reflect and push forward Baghdads ancient cosmopolitanisms.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2018 and still ongoing, in Baghdad , Iraq
Operation Flow
