The new headquarters of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) comprises a podium and tower of 170 meters height and a gross internal area of 90,000 square metres. The structural exoskeleton frames the facade which is composed of an alternating pattern of open and closed elements, providing a variety of areas of light and shade within. The exoskeleton gradually opens and reduces as the tower rises, bringing greater lightness and views across the capitol. The project was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and constructed by DAAX Construction.

Newtecnic was responsible for the design engineering of the facade during detailed design and construction documentation.
