Iraqi Consultancy Building

Notes

The façade composition of the building is designed to be dynamic and diverse without becoming chaotic as it is underpinned with the use of the golden ratio. Extensive use of glass generates views and pleasant spatial sceneries of the interior courtyard rich in plants and greenery. A bridge passes through this courtyard and connects several floors, while it is paralleled by a grand brick wall featuring three slender arched openings.
