Minimalist Architecture Part I
-
Basra, Arabic البصرة , is the principal port of Iraq. Basra was founded as a military encampment by the second caliph, 'Umar I, in 638 CE about 8 miles (13 km) from the modern town of Al-Zubayr, Iraq. Its proximity to the Gulf and easy access to both the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and the eastern frontiers encouraged its growth into a real city, despite the harsh climate. The first architecturally significant mosque in Islam was constructed there in 665.
Basra, with this great importance, hosted the 25th Arabian Gulf Cup in early January this year after more than 40 years since Iraq last hosted a football championship,
Here is a collection of Minimalist drawings I Illustrated using the colours I first suggested as part of my collaboration with a brilliant team of designers to create Basra's brand identity in preparation for the AGC25.
