Tamayouz Award for architectural excellence
Student Category –Iraqi projects
2016 Second Place Winner – Sattar Flaih
Function of the project: AN INTERACTION CENTER PROJECT
HILLAH, BABYLON, IRAQ.
Sattar Flaih from Babylon University is the winner of The Second Prize of Tamayouz Award- Iraqi Category for his work on the Interaction Center Project; Sattar’s work was supervised by Dr Hassan Al-Guesbi. Sattar is the first student from Babylon University to make it to the Tamayouz Top 10 of the Tamayouz Iraq Award.
The Judging Panel described the project as a balanced project in all, and commended the skilfully executed form that integrates well with the river and its own site and very well presented.
Sattar Flaih, Describes his project to be a vital multi use project of social, scientific and environmental interactions. Which provide a real new chance to change the every-day life routine. Sense-experience subjectivity can be controlled and guided to desired common-sense effects. New materials, tools and technologies are experienced here in different interaction spaces. One can relate to others physically and sensually by virtual reality techniques and advanced smart applications.

LOCATION:
The project is located at the east bank of "Shat Al-Hillah", a branch of Euphrates river, which extend north of about (5) km reaching the remains of the famous city of Ancient Babylon. Also, the river streams down across the city of Hillah with a remarkable cornice.
The site itself, of about (105,000) m2, can tell more stories of different historical, cultural and religious events. It stands in the midway between the history of Ancient Babylon and the heritage of the city of Hillah, while immortal flowing river is still holding and sharing memories within time.
THE CONCEPT:
In Post-Modernism, human beings had been returned to be the center and part of everything around again. This paradigm shifted the view to the nature and the whole world in both macro and micro levels. Advanced developments in communications and high technologies enabled us to see and conceive things differently.

It is supposed to be that sustained patterns and systems reveals themselves when their inner self-organized structures can match the structures of their neighbours locally and globally. Humans well-structured minds are designed to interact with natural forms accordingly. Organic forms imply continuous piecemeal changes in their morphologies.
Instead of capturing change, it is possible to manage it dynamically. Secrets of life can be revealed somehow by tuning nature with geometry. The story of this project begins with the flower of life, The Chamomile Babylonian Flower, embodied amazingly in the laws of sacred geometry of Ancient Babylon. Organic architecture is manifested clearly by using organic forms which are related deeply with the iconic form of Chamomile in a significant way that tuning the site. With canonical rules and folding architecture, the whole can be merged altogether in a wonderful way to re-present life.
Also, organic architecture is manifested clearly here by using organic forms. In the other hand, inner activities and functions are related to the bio-electronic and digital environment trying to create virtual common realms beyond the constrains of possible. One can live, feel and enjoy his interaction with others and with the smart environment around him. Inner plan subdivisions and elevations details show a scaling Golden Ratio of (1:1.6) at each level of magnification. This multi layers sequence is manifested clearly in Chamomile Babylonian Flower of Life.
