Participation of the Architecture Engineering Department in the esteemed General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers' committees
Dr. Ahmed Luay Ahmed, Head of the Architectural Design Department, participated in the regular meeting of the Committee for Correcting Project Implementation in Iraq using Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology. The meeting, which took place on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, included a visit to the new Central Bank of Iraq building in Jadriyah to learn about their experience in applying BIM in the architectural design, details, and services of this complex structure.
The visiting delegation was warmly welcomed by Dr. Engineer Samer Al-Jilawi, Deputy Director General of the Projects Department at the Central Bank of Iraq, and his engineers provided a detailed explanation of the building during the tour. The importance of BIM application for understanding and executing the details of this building was highlighted to the visiting delegation. They praised the efforts of the Iraqi engineering team involved in the project, which has developed successful practices in BIM application. It is expected that mechanisms will be established to transfer this experience to Iraqi engineering staff in the future.
At the end of the visit, the delegation commended this exemplary scientific hosting. The Committee for Correcting Project Implementation in Iraq is currently developing guidance and regulatory instructions for using BIM in building construction processes in Iraq. This effort has been coordinated with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research to emphasize the importance of teaching BIM in engineering curricula across all Iraqi universities.
