Way of the Bedu Part 2 Project 2023 Bilal Rashid Birmingham City University | UK This project aims to address the multifaceted impacts of climate change, desertification, and geopolitics in Iraq's southern region since the 1990s, which have had profound consequences on the cultural heritage of the nomadic Bedouin البدو tribes. With a central focus on preserving the bedu traditions, the project seeks to establish interconnected Caravanserai کاروانسرای settlements strategically located near towns along the arid south-western region of Iraq. These settlements serve as safe and supportive environments during the Bedouin البدو tribes' seasonal migrations, safeguarding their cultural heritage in the face of these challenges. The town of Al-Bussayyah البصية serves as the foundation for tailored interventions aimed at tackling resource scarcity and revitalizing both the land and the tribes' way of life. The pressing issue of resource scarcity, the project endeavours to create sustainable conditions that promote the tribes' livelihoods and cultural practices. Drawing on inspiration from the buried legacy of a dictator's power قوة الدكتاتور, embarking on the deconstruction and repurposing of discovered military machines associated with oppression. The transformative process of these machines is revitalized into symbols that energize and invigorate the Bedouin البدو tribes' cultural identity and way of life. Tutor(s) Andy Hilton Rachel Sara
