Al-Nouri Complex Cultural and Spiritual Core, Mosul, Iraq
Rebuilding Al-Nouri Complex means reconstructing collective memory, Mosul in Moslawis' minds. Although unexpected demolition of the city caused severe physical and social losses, overall hope and wealth will increase as Al-Hadba minaret starts to rise skyward. The strongly standing dome of the prayer hall is going to be the symbol of revival of the beautiful city of Mosul. Al-Nouri Complex is the starting point of collective healing as the new cultural and spiritual core of the city.
