Oversight And Development
Thursday 24 September 2020 28 Dr.. Basem Brahimi Recently, a number of accusations have returned to the new central bank building project designed by the late architect Zaha Hadid, especially its estimated cost of eight hundred million dollars, and this is not the first time that the project has been subjected to these accusations, noting that the project continues to work and the features of its structure have been clarified.
After the building reached the eighth floor out of the thirty-seven floors, it is the total height of the building, including four underground floors for (highly mechanized) safes, and the building is fully insured against earthquakes, explosions and fires and it is the first environmentally friendly building, and the question here is how can a government project be implemented with this Size, and after years of approval to implement it to be challenged now? And what if all the accusations against him are misplaced?
The information provided by the Central Bank indicates that Zaha Hadid Company nominated (18) companies capable of implementing the building, most of which apologized due to the security situation in Iraq and the high costs of insurance, for the intervention of four competition companies after studying their files from a tripartite team (Zaha’s office, an Australian consulting company, the bank The Central Bank) Dax company was chosen to implement one of Zaha Hadid’s projects, the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku,
noting that the specific cost of the project is close to the cost of similar buildings such as the European Central Bank building (one billion seven hundred million dollars) with an area that is twice the size of the Central Bank of Iraq, as well as a building The Central Bank of Kuwait amounting to (five hundred and eighty million dollars) with a total area less than the Central Bank of Iraq (20 percent).
The accusations have left the Iraqi citizen in confusion, and he no longer trusts any project even if he sees it being implemented. If the cost of the central bank building project is still in shape after years of approvals and implementation, that is a misfortune, and on the other hand, if the charges brought do not have evidence of a conviction.
Those responsible for the project, the calamity is greater, and this puts an obstacle to urban development at the very least in an economy looking for a glimmer of hope, so why not if that hope is signed by some iron. Finally, I say we need supervision in all its forms, but I call on all the supervisory authorities to implement their duties while taking Given the impact of the media on economic development, demolition is easy, but construction is difficult, and in the conditions in which we live, it is very difficult.
