1980-1989Description
With the backing of the municipality, the Aminat al-'Asima, Warren and his planners first identified two districts as "preservation areas," one around the mosque of al-Kazimiya, "the Golden Mosque," with its four soaring minarets and vast golden dome, the other at Bab al-Shaikh, the neighborhood surrounding the mosque of al-Gilani, a more modest but no less beautiful structure.
Then, in those areas, they picked out several hundred houses whose outstanding architecture made them worth preserving- plan (drawing), redevelopment of bazaar area in Khadamiyah neighborhood, west side
