Netaj Innovation Center

In the heart of Baghdad, adjacent to the bustling Abu-Nuwas Street, stands the Netaj Innovation Center, a beacon of modernity fused with the city’s rich heritage. Once a residential building, the center now boasts a distinctive orange Shadow Bridge, a structural marvel that not only casts a protective shade against Baghdad’s scorching sun but also seamlessly connects the building’s floors, integrating them with the vibrant landscape of palm trees. This architectural gesture not only enhances the functionality of the space but also creates a visual dialogue with the surroundings, symbolizing the dynamic spirit of innovation that is reshaping contemporary Baghdad. The center’s design is a testament to the creative use of space and natural elements, offering a sanctuary of calm and inspiration amidst the urban chaos
