File contains 17 drawings (4 site plans, 7 exterior perspectives, 6 sketches), 3 photographic prints of model in two frames, and one island scheme model. The Abu Nuwas Project is situated south of the town centre and across from the Tigris River from the presidential palace. The district is known as a recreational area. The urban master plan called for a 3 km section on the bank of the river to be extended into Baghdad's main concourse. The existing Abu Nuwas district was to be preserved and consolidated with the addition of squares, gates, and arcades. The final scheme positioned an island intersecting a new bridge proposed by the government. This man-made island would contain a history museum, a performing arts complex, a national library, an arts school, an aquarium, theme gardens, and terraced displays of scientific devices, such as water wheels, wind mills, observatories, and clocks

File includes 1 photograph print of mode. The SANCST Science Halls were conceived as a demonstration centre showing the development of science within the Muslim world, and making science accessible to all. The 125 hectare site was 12 km north of the Riyadh centre core. The entry was to be through a large semi-circular plaza from which both the Headquarters Building and the Science Halls could be accessed. The Headquarters Building possesses a strong central axis and the Science Halls are located near the far end of the site. The latter is set on an oblique angle giving it dual orientation. It also uses a strong system of Islamic geometric ordering, superimposition and the rotation of the basic square. The Science Halls have a traditional introverted character and the building mass sits on the Arabic landscape like a finite object, particularly in its use of natural materials. The exterior cladding is a warm colour of horizontally stratified Riyadh limestone with varying band depths. The important features of the Science Halls are the arrival plaza and its orientation, the souk street circulation, the laboratories, the demonstration theatres, the formal gardens, the traditional riverbed gardens, and the medicinal herb gardens.

Moshe Safdie's proposal was among 208 entries for the architectural competition for the Canadian Government Pavilion at the 1970 Japan World Exposition in Osaka. Safdie explored two radically different concepts. The first used a group of balloon-like elements inflated with a light gas. The second scheme, which was developed in greater detail, called for a cellular building made from modular units constructed of cubes subtended by octahedrons. The entire pavilion was to be a continuous experience of changing images and colours in which various surfaces within the cube and the octahedron were used as projection surfaces.
