The Old City of Mosul, a symbol of tolerance and co-existence

As part of the ‘Revive the Spirit of Mosul’ initiative, UNESCO, the Iraqi Ministry of Culture and the Iraqi Sunni Endowment, with the generous financial support of the United Arab Emirates, have committed to reconstruct and rehabilitate the Al Nouri Complex in Mosul.

In order to do so, UNESCO organized and international design competition for selecting a winning design entry to rehabilitate this important site destroyed by conflict in 2014.

Endorsed by the International Union of Architects (UIA), the competition is an open call for proposals based on an anonymous design submission that invites architects or teams of architects and engineers to develop and submit their projects as companies or joint ventures of individuals and/or companies.
