Embark on a journey where the rich tapestry of Iraq's storied history intertwines with the nation's aspirations for the future, guided by innovation and boundless creativity.
Tamayouz Excellence Award warmly invites architects, designers, engineers and artists to be a driving force in shaping Iraq's narrative on the global stage and join us in designing the Iraq Pavilion for a Global Exposition at the esteemed Baghdad International Fairgrounds.
Response:
Participants are invited to design the Iraq Pavilion and its central plaza for a global exposition at the Baghdad International Fairgrounds.
The design must adhere to certain parameters: the maximum footprint should not exceed 5000 sqm of the plot area (area is 23,250 sqm), with a maximum height of 25m above ground and 10m below ground.
The permanent Iraq Pavilion will be for global gatherings at the Baghdad International Fairgrounds.
Vision:
The Iraq Pavilion, drawing inspiration from Mesopotamia's rich legacy, is designed to be a testament to art, architecture, and ambition. It embodies the spirit of a nation withstood the test of time, celebrating ancient civilisations and their contributions to humanity while looking forward to a promising future.
This Pavilion serves as a symbol of identity and a beacon of resilience and innovation, showcasing Iraq's achievements and its commitment to forging global relationships.
In an era when diplomacy and cultural exchange are crucial, the Pavilion will serve as a platform for Iraq to share its narrative and connect with the world.
We invite innovative ideas that reflect a deep understanding of Iraq's cultural heritage and current aspirations.
The Challenge:
Iraq has reemerged on the global stage in recent years, participating in international gatherings through National Pavilions.
However, these pavilions often fail to adequately represent the significance of Iraq, its rich history and culture, the aspirations of its people, or the challenges they have overcome.
Moreover, Iraq's diverse cultural heritage offers a wealth of inspiration that, when refined and thoughtfully curated, could lead to a pavilion design that elegantly showcases this diversity rather than overwhelming it.
Furthermore, to ensure the pavilion's effectiveness, its design must also be contextualised to the designated plot at the Baghdad International Fairgrounds.
Participants are encouraged to address this challenge contextually by creating a work of art or architecture that defies superficiality and captures the Iraqi people's cultural richness and aspirations.
