The Faculty of Engineering is pleased to congratulate Basma Yasir, a Tishk International University graduate, for her participation and recognition in the first edition of the Majaz Competition for Architecture Engineering Departments, held at Tishk International University on December 3, 2025. Her project was recognized among the top 20 entries.
The project focuses on the redevelopment of Hosh Al-Baieaa and Suq Al-Shaareen, a historic area in Mosul that contains a seventh-century church and sustained significant damage during the ISIS occupation from 2014 to 2017. The work emphasizes the restoration of churches, heritage buildings, a school, and the commercial strip while preserving the area’s cultural and religious value. The design supports tourism, economic recovery, and coexistence by connecting churches and mosques through shared pathways. Traditional architectural elements are preserved, green spaces are incorporated, and sustainable methods are applied in accordance with Iraqi heritage laws.
Basma’s efforts and participation are highly appreciated.
