Mon to Fri, from 10am - 9pm; Sat from 10am - 2pm at Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya (Pl Nova, 5 - Ciutat Vella)   Free admission

The theme of the exhibition “Mirage City: Baghdad, from Wright to Venturi”, that is presented at the College of Architects of Catalonia, is the major architectural projects of King Faisal II’s 1950s Iraq.

The initiative to recover these projects came from Pedro Araza, a professor at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), and Spain’s ambassador in Baghdad, Ignacio Rupérez.

Architects of the standing of Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, Josep Lluís Sert and Ricard Bofill were commissioned to produce the designs. (Taken from http://w3.bcn.es)
