The region contains the Abbasid aqueduct, approximately 1000 years old, and it was found after Christmas a.d. ..The Antiquities and Heritage Authority - Diyala Governorate confirmed that the upper part of the aqueduct is in a state of damage and must be maintained due to the movement of cars, which is the first factor in its deterioration.., and it was displayed This is in the news bulletin of the Middle East Channel - Al-Jazeera Al-Arabia -... The region also contains traces located east of the site in a barren land - Baladruz region - both Baladruz and( Buhriz Diyala city center ) - the site of the project - were the Kingdom of Eshnunna BC in the Babylonian era, where the University of Chicago - Institute of Antiquities and Heritage - confirmed The Eshnunnaya Obelisk is the first obelisk in the world as it predated the Hammurabi affair by two hundred years.. The project features will be linked: a water linkage - the Abbasid aqueducts with the construction of an Eshnunian aqueducts(It is characterized by running water over it( as they built it in B.C. to create a time shift –
a ground LINKAGE : the oldest shrine of the Abbasid era-DANIEL One of the prophets of Israel( with set up Eshnunna Museum - creating another shift - these two transfers combine a loop that cuts off car traffic, connects monuments and transforms iron crossings into AQUEDUCTS- works as PLAZA (LAKE) graduating in time to display the history of the Abbasid and ESHNUNNA IN( BURHIZ region)

Project description

While using the –PATH LOOP- connection and the ground and water –LINKAGE- as a solution for the project: each of the ideas and strategies are in line with each other, for example, after the solution of the project, after we add path loop connection process, it will be divided architecturally and practically as a work plan into two stages:
1- within a path loop
It includes open, semi-open and closed activities that recall the history of the region, such as the alqethara Square: relative to the first herp in the world in Eshnunna: and placing it at the beginning of the region: creating a shift from the history of Eshnunna BC to the Abbasid date after AD
2-by Path Loop
It includes the heritage buildings that the ring connects on the ground level

Technical information

The use of each of the squares in the concrete element and the upper quarter of the Abbasid arch with the brick element to express the two civilizations: The higher the Abbasid arch, the more it means that we moved from the eshnunna civilization to the Abbasid civilization - also, all the constructions taken are according to the law of the Antiquities and Heritage Authority - Buhriz District Department - Diyala Governorate - Iraq
