Al Zaqura Building, Government palace in Green Zone, Baghdad, Iraq.
The Al Zaqura Building features a massive concrete exterior structure that draws inspiration from ancient Mesopotamian ziggurats in its architectural design.
Built in 1975 under President Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr's administration, the structure was designed by architect Saeed Ali Madhlum and CP Kukreja Associates.
The building combines Brutalist architecture on its exterior with traditional Islamic designs and decorations throughout its interior spaces.
The structure currently functions as the office of the Prime Minister of Iraq, situated at coordinates 33.315307 North and 44.401661 East.
After sustaining damage during the 2003 Iraq War, the building underwent extensive renovation by Harlow International while maintaining its original design elements.
