From the Competition Jury reportThe project is built around the primary goal of re-establishing continuity in the urban fabric, in the streets’ pattern, and in the layout of the Mosque’s historical perimeter. The architecture of the expansion area is designed around the prolongation of the main urban axis around in order to create an organic layout, which evokes the urban typology of the Old City and dissolves boundaries. With a view to connection and integration, the historical perimeter of the Mosque complex is re-established through the use of historical axis and alignments, in particular the one along the north-south historical alley, connecting the Prayer Hall with the Al Hadba Minaret.The Prayer Hall is rebuilt as it was before its destruction in 2017. However, required additional spaces are created through the enlargement of the building dimensions along the west-east direction and recalling the length of the prayer hall building before its reconstruction in 1944.Webinar Registration details:Monday, June 28 13:00 London | 15:00 BaghdadZoom Webinar ID: 938 0379 8365Password: LFA2021https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_TfePYUN2T4uiBoTbig5BMA
