Descrição: In the 1950s, Baghdad seemed poised to enter the modern age with a cultural enthusiasm rivaled only by its previous golden ages in antiquity. With a growing economy, a new university and a fairly tolerant government under King Faisal II, Baghdad was attracting some of the world's leading architects to design the various civic, domestic and cultural buildings that any bustling new city would require. Inspired by a 1957 visit to Baghdad and "The Arabian Nights," the famed American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, age 90, enthusiastically drew up designs for an archaeological museum, a gallery for contemporary art, a bazaar; a post office and a university campus--some of which had already been assigned to other well-known architects.
