Overview
Designing a University and a Hopeful Future for Iraq
The American University in Iraq – Sulaimani commissioned Dar to design and supervise the construction of the university holding the same name. Located about 250 km away from Baghdad, the university is meant to compensate the lack of modern higher education institutions in war-torn Iraq. The first American university in Iraq, the institution will offer a broad range of disciplines ranging from the sciences, humanities, economics to art and computer and information sciences. As such, the university gives Iraqis a more hopeful future and raises a beacon of hope.
