The Central Bank of Iraq and Zaha Hadid Architects sign the

LONDON, UK ‐ Zaha Hadid joined H.E. Dr Sinan Al‐Shabibi, Governor

of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) at a ceremony to sign the agreement

between the CBI and Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) for the design

stages of the new CBI Headquarters building. The ceremony was

hosted by H.E. Dr Muhielddin Hussein Abdullah, Charges d'Affaires of

the Iraqi Embassy in London.

ZHA have already completed the client’s Brief Development and will

immediately commence the design process for the new CBI

Headquarters to be built on the shores of the Tigris River in Baghdad.

ZHA will lead the international team of specialist consultants

including: Adams Kara Taylor, Max Fordham, Newtecnic, DEGW,

Gross Max, Davis Langdon, Arup, Warringtonfire, Winton Nightingale

and A2 Project Managers.

Dr Sinan Al‐Shabibi said: “The new building shall be a symbol of the

Bank’s role in the economic development of Iraq and a reflection of

the determination to rebuild the country.”

Zaha Hadid said: “I am deeply touched that I have been asked to

design the new headquarters for the Central Bank of Iraq. I was born

in Iraq and I still feel very close to it. I feel very privileged to be

working in Iraq on a design of such national importance.”d-architects-and-central-bank-of-iraq-sign-agreement-for-new-headquarters/
