Al Zaqura Building

Al-Zaqura Palace, located in Baghdad's Green Zone, serves as the office of the Prime Minister of Iraq. Commissioned in 1975 during Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr's presidency, it was designed by Saeed Ali Madhlum and CP Kukreja Associates. The building showcases Brutalist architecture, with a concrete exterior reminiscent of ancient Ziggurats, while its interior features Islamic architectural elements. The palace was heavily damaged during the Iraq War in 2003 but has since been renovated by Harlow International, making it a significant site for both historical and architectural interest.
