As an entrant for the 2017 Rifat Chandirji prize, to provide a vision for a revitalized blueprint for the city of Mosul, our project sought to rebuild the city in a way that paid homage to the informal and unplanned legacy of the old city. By planning for the unplanned, we were able to create a template for development that would allow the organic growth that defined the old city to persist, while at the same time bringing into the area the many things which it lacked prior to its near complete devastation after being held by ISIS since its capture in 2014, and the subsequent battle for its liberation by the combined forces of the Iraqi Government, Kurdish armed forces, and local militias.
