On Thursday, April 25, 2024, professors and first-year students embarked on a field visit to Abu Nuwas Street, Gardens, and the banks of the Tigris River in Baghdad. The purpose of this excursion was to acquaint students with the site designated for the “Baghdad Flower Exhibition” architectural project.
During the visit, students gained valuable insights into the urban environment, particularly the design of green spaces and the strategic location overlooking the riverbank. They also had the opportunity to explore heritage sites and houses along Abu Nuwas Street, focusing on architectural elements such as brickwork, bonding types, and upper lintel treatments.
Furthermore, students were introduced to significant buildings on the opposite bank of the Tigris River, understanding their significance in shaping the city’s urban landscape. This field visit provided students with firsthand experience and appreciation for architectural design principles, urban planning, and historical preservation efforts in Baghdad.
