Roof Structure

The main timber structure provides the main support for the building and the membrane structure on the surface provides effective shading.

The middle area on the first floor serves as the main exhibition and the north-west area as a café where visitors can relax. The southeast area is used as an exhibition area in addition to storing some of the Babylonian books and documents, providing visitors with an opportunity to read and study. The small room can be used as a seminar for visitors and also as a meeting room for researchers.

First Floor

The main ground floor is used as an exhibition area, with the north-west area used as a hobby studio for special events and exhibitions, and echoing the nearby theatre. The north-east area, near the main entrance, is used as an office and the south-west area as a lecture room for lectures or documentaries.

/ Elevation

The layout of the building balances visitor spaces and working spaces for researchers. The exhibition halls on the first and second floor allow visitors to experience the culture of ancient Babylon, while the lecture spaces and seminar rooms provide an in-depth explanation of the culture and history. The workshops on the ground floor allow visitors to participate in special activities. The space on the basement is entirely dedicated to the research of researchers and is separate from the visitor space.
