Baghdad University Student's District, Social Fabric Iraq-Baghdad
In 1957 Walter Gropius adopted the historic image of Baghdad to design a modern academic campus. A structure that would foster multiple court yards and student lounges that were designed to cultivate conversations between assorted ethnicities and cultures. The master plan for Baghdad University is a master piece of university design, the functional spaces that represented the vision of Gropius were changed to be used for other purposes and rezoned to be used for other needs.
Baghdad University Student’s District (BUSD) is an attempt to resurrect Gropius inclusivity vision, as after 2003, multiple challenges elevated everyday life that would affect the student’s communications and social life. Hence, BUSD is envisioned to be a forum for dialogue, diversity, and civic engagement; a home for sustainable reflections, moral and humane replenishment, inclusiveness, progression and performance.

The vision of BUSD, is to synergize between current different secluded gathering points that are used by the students. The synergy is implemented by the planned design of the urban pathways that will work as attraction conjoin the students into these areas and link them to several centralized engagement and leisure centres where all students will reside and communicate with each other.
BUSD conceptual design is made of a central area, leisure centre, extension library and four main boxes presenting itself as a modern landmark structures which would blend and standout in visual flow of buildings. These boxes are a collection of student’s centres and activities areas, drawing the attention of students both inside and outside the core. Around the core are different types of activities that create a vibrant modern living environment, within these areas lays the central library area that will work as a welcoming extension to the second box.

These areas will motivate students and provide a healthy social and academic environment which helps the students reconnect with each other and enhance the education and relationships between them as one inclusive entity and that has no racial beliefs.
