Winner of the Rifat Chadirji Prize: “Rebuilding Iraq’s Liberated Areas: Mosul’s Housing”
Designed as a concept to help rebuild Mosul after its occupation by the Islamic State, which caused the destruction of 50-75% of the city. Reconstruction is expected to take over a decade.
The 5 Farming Bridges aims to rebuild the destroyed bridges over the Tigris River to be inhabited and to provide food for the city’s residents. Constructed using 3D printing, the bridges would recycle rubble from destroyed buildings. It would include urban permaculture farms and orchards, irrigated with water from the river, to ensure food autonomy for citizens.
It would also be powered by photovoltaic pergolas, use solar water heaters, and be cooled with wind chimneys and cold ceilings using river water.

From the Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62), Valley of the Kings, West Thebes. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 61264
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
