This collection showcases the blueprints and models for the Baghdad Olympic Stadium, one of Le Corbusier's final projects. The designs illustrate the seminal architect's vision for a "civic tool for a modern age". His boîte à miracles gymnasium was the only element ever built; arguably, it's the one saving grace of Saddam Hussein's reign.
